If Carlie is being that forthright to the world, imagine her demeanor behind closed doors.

The facts say otherwise.
Richardson was benched last year, under Jim's watch. Not only that, but he was only reinserted as the starter after Joe Flacco was literally the lowest-rated quarterback in the NFL in the game against the Vikings. If Flacco had played well and the Colts had beaten the Vikings, Richardson may have been benched even longer.
Also, unlike Gardner Minshew or Joe Flacco, Daniel Jones was given a $14 Million contract for the 2025 season......under Jim's watch. Jones's ceiling was clearly higher than either a 39 year-old Joe Flacco or Gardner Minshew, so he was brought here clearly with the intent of competing with Anthony Richardson for the starting job.
Regarding Jim's lucidity, you are presuming that he was not lucid enough to oversee the Daniel Jones contract, but that he necessarily would have been lucid enough to insist that Anthony Richardson be the starting quarterback for the upcoming season? It's nice to know how much of an insider you are in regard to the Irsay family.
You can claim whatever you want to claim, but the facts say otherwise.
