Speaking from experience (Bears) this is very fun to watch play out. Our OL couldn’t pass protect if their lives depended on it so we just let the H back that runs 4.4 and plays QB go do good things and it was great fun. 

He's definitely your best quarterback since Rex Grossman

Still not 100% there on Richardson, though at 3 he seemed pretty clearly to be the guy, but everything I’ve seen since has been impressive. He’ll be incredibly easy to root for.

based on the opponents' colts have this year I see us getting 4, maybe wins assuming Richardson starts day 1.  If we end up with 5 wins, we'll likely have another top 5 pick next year(Vegas has us with the third worst record right now).  If we come close to a .500% record that tells me Richardson progressed pretty well.  If colts win say 9 games or more than Richardson exceeded 1st year expectations by a wide margin.  To me it's a win win.  If we have a top 5 pick, we get another top guy at another position.  If we hover around a .500% team, Richardson progressed pretty well.  If we win 9 games or more he progressed way more than I think most or any individual predicted for this year.

I really hope he doesn't start game 1. I'd prefer to be top 3 next year. Get a DE or MHJ.

I dont disagree.  I want the top DE or MHJ.  But Richardson needs REPS.

Seeing teasers that a Colts player has been accused of betting on Colts games.  No names popping up thus far.

Isaiah Rodgers now identified as the player under investigation.

What a moron. If he really was betting specifically on Colts games, what an even bigger idiot

Seen an awful lot of the "he made a big mistake" talk going around. No, no, no, if he was willing to potentially blow up his career making a couple of hundred bets over a couple of years, including betting on his team, he didn't make a mistake, he's got a problem. Hopefully he gets appropriate care.

Agreed. As outstanding as JT has been and can be, it's a waste to keep a player around who doesn't want to be there. Trade him while he still has value.

This is so cold.

Looks like Anthony Richardson will be our starting QB and RB

[TheWatShot]

Richardson could always just hand the ball to one of his offensive linemen; not like they're busy doing anything else. 

[KingPG21]

So we probs have a horrible offense. 

 

Just trade JT and truly embrace the suck. 

 

Pierce is getting dominated by Dylan Moore in camp.Like this dude really concerns me about if he is any good

 

Stop talking Irsay

How can I watch the Colts game this weekend?  Reddit or dark web or something like that?

[Crimson and Cream]

On AR, rough INT to start, but I thought each drive he got better which is what you want to see. Should've had a TD had Pierce held onto that perfectly thrown ball. Couple other drops/penalties that costed him a better statistical day. 

They need to quit messing around and give Downs that starting slot role. That kid has elite quickness out there and great hands. Also probably has the best chemistry with AR of all the receivers.

Well Richardson starting is the right decision. Colts might not be boring to watch for once

A NFL game boring?  Never.
