He said he will be a QB and wants to be a QB but this has greatly affected how he thought the organization viewed him.

He said these are just guesses by him… but I’m saying he has a strong relationship with Richardson

Holy fuck they may have fucked this up all the way around

Yeah this is a cluster fuck that is of historical levels of complete dumb fuckery!

Oh FFS. Could whoever made the call to bench AR get past their fucking ego(s) , admit they fucked up, and put AR back in. Unless of course AR was indeed fucking off way too much. Then I guess stick w/ the current shit show

Still makes no sense… so did this just start? Has this been his work ethic all along and they were ok with it? Until he starts regressing and then the tap out was the final straw?

And again I go back to… we knew what we were getting a YOUNG, raw, project, athlete of a QB and it was gonna be a roller coaster. Yet here we are waving our hands and screaming to get off the ride after what appears to be a nose dive.

In my opinion they should’ve stuck by the guy, even after the tap out. Walk in the fuckin press conference and say he’s still our guy and he’s learning but he’s gonna put it all together

Totally agree with everything you're saying. Maybe AR kept telling Steichen and the coaching staff that he'd start putting in the time and didn't. Then when he started to regress and he still wasn't putting in the time (or maybe putting in less) then the coaching staff decided they had it.

Another thought I had is that AR tested positive for PEDs, etc. But I think teams have to announce when a player is suspended by the league??

More than likely it's that Irsay said we need to make the playoffs this year or else.

Just grasping at straws here. Such a fucked up situation.

They finally came to their fucking senses. How come the people on this board appear to be so much smarter than the coaches and administration. Oh never mind, I know why!

Season ticket renewals are due the day after tomorrow.

Just listened to Venturi for a bit on JMV, wow he encapsulated this all quite well.

What kind of a fucked up misconstrued, ass backward, incompetent organization have we become?

His take, Steichen gave AR a time-out for the tap out. He then basically points the finger back at Irsay for the commentary being planted that AR was this low work ethic bum in order to provide some cover for the org. This despite them telling us for 2 years he is the antithesis of that. Then went on to blast this whole "the D is doing their job" bullshit- 30th against the run, 27th against the pass, last in 4th quarter yardage, 30th on 3rd down, yada yada yada... this DEFENSE SUCKS!

Glad AR is back, hope he comes back and miraculously goes on a rip and we see tons of potential and feel good about next year. Then I hope Ballard, Steichen, and Bradley are all fucking shit canned the day after the season for fucking once again making the Colts the laughingstock of the NFL!
