QB Anthony Richardson, IND (2 Viewers)

[(HULK)]

Dude has yet to finish four consecutive games in the NFL. He's only started four consecutive once and was out of the fourth after his fourth pass attempt.

He started 2, 2, 4, 2, 3 & 2 consecutive games before missing time after each.

Bottom line is he may have a ton of measurables and physical potential but he can't stay on the field. It has been that way dating back to high school. There is no reason to think he will suddenly string together 17 games. I would put his o/u games started at 9.

You would think someone with that size and strength wouldn’t be so fragile.

I don't. I think he is prone to injury on a genetic level. Weaker tendons, weaker ligaments, muscles prone to strain etc.

And that's giving him the benefit of doubt that he's not simply soft and won't play through pain.

I think his NFL injuries are very legit and I find that persistent shoulder problem to be a huge red flag.

There is no reason for the Colts to bail on him at this point but, personally I think I would bet with all takers that he won't get extended or franchise tagged.

I grew up pretty soft. And then spent several years in the Army and learned to be hard. So, softness is something that can be overcome IMO.

Honestly, I think it's all about will for him. If he believes in himself and keeps striving, he'll get somewhere IMO.

The accuracy is untenable.

Might very well be correct and I think that's what the smart money says. I think the Colts give him the chance to fall flat though and as gross as it is that might hold FF value.

Also fair to point out when comparing him to Jones is even with a completion % that trails him considerably he actually averages more yards per attempt then Jones and that's because he's pushing the ball more. Context matters.

And the Colts have one of the best offensive lines which gives their QB more time to have receivers run deeper routes thus the higher yard per attempt. Daniel Jones line was so awful with the Giants that he wasn't afforded that same time Richardson had. And the fact that his completion rate was still significantly higher despite the awful line and lack of alpha talent at the skill positions is also context that matters.

I disagree on the Colts line being remotely as good as you say and individually Richardson might be elite at sack avoidance.

And I'll reiterate that AR despite throwing for a far less percentage of completions throws more yards per attempt.

As a Commander's fan, I never thought much of the Giants line but always felt that Daniel Jones was elite at holding on to the ball too long and getting sacked. I was pre-disposed to think poorly of him though.

As @menobrown will point out; context matters and Richardson has a very high ADOT which helps forgive some (not all) of his low completion %. But, with his inability to complete an NFL standard minimum of passes his y/a is 6.9 on his career and that reality matters as much as the context of his ADOT. Probably more. Pushing the ball down the field is great but it matters a lot less when you can't convert 3 & 4 on a regular basis.

He seems decent at avoiding sacks but he has put up far too little film to call him elite at anything.

They should run him more on those 3rd and 4s.

But yeah, the guy would take an immediate huge step forward if he could just have average accuracy on short and medium throws.

 

[Bronco Billy]

Can we put some brakes on this deep ball accuracy argument please? On deep passes the receiver has much more time to adjust to a throw and manipulate the DB, and we all know how the PI rules favor the O player so much. Good WRs have multiple ways to create enhanced opportunity to catch the ball when it is in the air for so long. And yes, I do believe his receivers are good enough to use those tools downfield.

It just goes against common sense when people argue that it’s all on Richardson when he’s got so much better accuracy on a 35 yd pass than he does on a 3 yd pass.

 

[TheDirtyWord]

As an OSU homer I've lived through Terrell Pryor and JT Barrett so I've become hardened to this. Both were downright AWFUL passers but man, could they move the ball with their legs. It's like Barry Sanders - you keep giving him the ball for two yard gains behind that line because you know eventually he's gonna Barry one up.

But that is the thing with Richardson I've been trying to tell people for years now. Compared to Richardson; Pryor and Barrett were AMAZING passers. If Richardson is the baseline, Barrett/Pryor may as well be Montana in comparison.

That's the thing that keeps getting overlooked with all of these name drops. Pryor and Barrett aren't comps as passers. They're too good.

Richardson is a worse passer than Tebow. By a lot.

I feel like Richardson's flaws are areas that can actually improve though. His arm strength is top end. His deep accuracy is pretty dang good. His mid to short accuracy is among the worst ever, but shouldn't that be fixable? His ability to read the field is not great also, but that's another area where improvement is possible.

You can't improve a QB's height, and you can only barely improve things like mobility, speed, and arm strength. On these fixed factors, he's all 10s. I'm not sure he can ever get his non-fixed factors up to the point where he functions, but if he does, he can tear it up. He's still very young, he's still very inexperienced. Can he grow into a QB? I'm nowhere near ready to say, "nope", even though the ultimate answer may be nope, I think it's far from certain as of today.

I have a theory on this...because you do wonder why his short accuracy is as bad as it is.

The short-to-intermediate stuff...it moves fast, all of the moving pieces in front of you. In your uni and in 'not your uni'. The long ball, that develops...it doesn't happen as quickly. You can find rhythm via your drop/set/release pattern.

You always hear about QB's spending inordinate amount of time on their mechanics. Almost like a golfer. But ultimately, they don't even want to think about this aspect of their game because they want it to get to an automatic state. But I also think that means matching their mechanics up with their eyes. In terms of what they're seeing and reacting to or understanding what they are seeing before it even happens so they can proactively know where they will go with the football.

With Richardson, I feel like this haunts him. He's behind in his eyes and his reads, which in turn affects his mechanics and accuracy. And he has little confidence here. So the matching of the play caller and the QB to execute the offense consistently is non-existent.

I remember in TC last year, the Colts were having a joint practice - I think with the Eagles. And the most worrisome aspect coming out of those session I remember was the defense calling out that all he did was run. And this was after an off-season where Richardson was proclaiming on podcasts stuff like the NFL wasn't that hard.

I'm figuring this offseason required a 'come to Jesus' type acknowledgement from him and dedication to being 'uncomfortable'. I haven't seen any/many stories on his offseason other than the shoulder issue - which isn't great but I just wonder if he's focused his energies in the right way to get better.

Just remember Bill Parcells' specific criteria for evaluating quarterbacks. He emphasized experience, winning, and leadership qualities over raw physical attributes. One of his critical requirements included being a three-year starter, a college senior, a college graduate, starting at least 30 games, and winning at least 23 games.

Yes, that was how he presented it. Also, he was arrested once because of it.

George Carlin was arrested on July 21, 1972, for performing his "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" routine at Summerfest in Milwaukee. He was charged with violating obscenity laws but the case was dismissed. The ruling stated that while his language was indecent, it was not obscene.

Richardson will never be a winning QB in the NFL. You have to be able to pass the ball in today's NFL.

Checks notes: Richardson is currently a winning QB with a 9-8 lifetime NFL record.

In 1-3 of those wins, the backup QB might deserve the win more than Richardson as he exited early. The Pittsburgh game last year was all Flacco, and there were 2 games the year before that Richardson contributed more in but still had Minshew come in and secure the win.

 

[metoo]

… I almost destroyed my dynasty team trying to trade for this guy last year. So thankful the other owner declined all of my offers.

Lessons learned. Almost. This archetype of Qb Has to at least be a “gamer” or show some intangibles.

(I’m a huge Milroe fan, he’s the next guy I’m going to try and let ruin my squad).

I’m with you. I started playing SF last season and I thought it was a great idea to draft Mahomes and trade up for ARich. I also have Milroe in that league.

Last year. Maybe week 2-3 I offered up Caleb / JT / DJ Moore for AR / Olave / Jayden Reed

Felt great for a few seconds. It would’ve destroyed my roster if the other guy accepted.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. worked with the team's first-team offense in practice on Thursday and was "far from flawless," according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Boyd notes that Richardson was 3-for-7 as a passer with an interception during the 11-on-11 portion of practice. The number four overall pick in the 2023 draft, Richardson Sr. has yet to cement himself as the Colts' franchise quarterback and now finds himself in a battle for the QB1 role with Daniel Jones. Richardson Sr. possesses elite fantasy upside due to his rushing ability (635 career rushing yards, 10 touchdowns), but he's struggled mightily as a passer. He completed just 47.7% of his passes in 11 games last season and recorded more interceptions (12) than passing touchdowns (eight). Previous reporting indicated that Richardson Sr. was behind Jones in the QB competition heading into 2025, and it does not seem as though the first few days of Colts training camp have changed that.--Will Brady

Not to speculate, but a theory I’ve come around to: I see the likeliest move being AR getting the job unless and until Daniel Jones outshines him, which isn’t happening as of now. Can always go to Jones later in the case of underperformance or injury.

Stinky and stinkier. I’m avoiding this offense unless someone falls far enough to be an overwhelming value, and I expect Steichen to be fired at the end of the year.

NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reports that Anthony Richardson had “his best day of training camp so far” on Friday.
Per Wolfe, Richardson “made quick reads, he was efficient, he took care of the ball and ultimately showed why he could be the quarterback of the future.” Wolfe then reminds viewers that this remains an open competition between Richardson and Daniel Jones. Richardson must begin stacking positive days like this to seize the Week 1 starting job. Wolfe also adds that Richardson has lost 10 pounds and is now playing at 240.

Good with the bad. Y’all way too negative up in here.

Lance got quite a bit of opportunity until Shanny tried to use him like a fullback.

I don’t think Indy is quite at that point with ARich. Also ARich was always expected to be a project. Expectations of Lance out the gate seemed much higher.

Not saying it made sense. I’m just sayin - Colts have acknowledged from day 1 that ARich was a project.

I don’t think it’ll take much growth for the Colts to run him out as the starter. Whether he shows enough growth to keep the gig is another story.

 

[candian fantasy guy]

His fantasy value is in his legs, right. I watched him last season as I was and did invest in him a few dynasty leagues and a keeper league. It was pretty bad, even with the running. Like it’s unbearable to watch bad.

I am a Bears fan and watched all of Justin Fields snaps as a Bear. He looks so much better at everything. And we all know how limited JF is, but he has that running upside which makes him possible FF gold.

I see lots of criticism and optimism in this thread. Good luck to all

He does make sense in this capacity. A good high upside dart throw since the cost is so low. In 12 team redraft of I'm taking a second QB then upside is all I care about.

 

[tommyGunZ]

Years ago I remember a study showed that the stat most correlated with NFL success was total college starts.

Obviously there are exceptions, but it’s just so hard to out-athlete NFL level defenders without the credible threat of being a passer.

 

[TVT 0 N S T A]

Dude checked himself out of that game against the Texans and I'll take Daniel Jones over that. Never seen anything like it. You are the leader of that team and you are giving up? I will own zero shares. I don't care what reports come out of camp. It isn't a toughness issue. It is a commitment issue... owners can decide which is worse. I won't have to worry about though.

To be fair to Richardson, he had run around a lot on several straight plays, I really believe he was gased. But I get it, any player can do that except the QB, for aesthetics sake.

Must be tough for the colts but they need to move on. Guy has flashed a couple times but hes so inconsitant and his injuries just seem to never end. It was a dumb pick and its even dumber to continue to think hes ever going to get much better

To me the only thing that makes him not an easy call as a high upside QB2 in 12 team type redraft is there may be other QB's super cheap with high degrees of upside. Guys like Trevor and Jordan Love as examples going in the mid teens. It's a good year for high upside QB2's.

Where it gets interesting is leagues like BB leagues that don't have waivers. What makes that of particular interest is that format puts extra value on QB's as even in a non-SF it can difficult obtaining a third starting QB but that format is also far worse if he's hurt or benched and you are just wasting a roster spot. At least in leagues that require management you can just cut him if things are not working out.

I draft him a lot tbh but it's the BB leagues where I think he could make or break some teams.

Must be tough for the colts but they need to move on. Guy has flashed a couple times but hes so inconsitant and his injuries just seem to never end. It was a dumb pick and its even dumber to continue to think hes ever going to get much better

Daniel Jones will win the job in camp if he isn't the No 1 QB already?
I don't think Jones is great but he can operate an offense and move the ball with enough talent surrounding him.
I still think ARich will get on the field at some point this year, what he does with that chance is anyone's guess but his work so far has been questionable at best

Ironically, it’s probably best for everyone if DJones is the starter this year. ARichardson could stand for a season as a backup with a clipboard while he gets up to speed and irons out his game. Aaron Rodgers was a first round pick in 2005 and he did this for three years behind Farve. It worked out very well for him and he led GBP to a title three years later. The NYG have gone 32-67 the past six years when DJones was on the team. Some of that record was due to poor play at QB but hardly all of it. He was also rushed to the field starting in his third game as a pro.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. worked with the team's first-team offense in practice on Thursday and was "far from flawless," according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Boyd notes that Richardson was 3-for-7 as a passer with an interception during the 11-on-11 portion of practice. The number four overall pick in the 2023 draft, Richardson Sr. has yet to cement himself as the Colts' franchise quarterback and now finds himself in a battle for the QB1 role with Daniel Jones. Richardson Sr. possesses elite fantasy upside due to his rushing ability (635 career rushing yards, 10 touchdowns), but he's struggled mightily as a passer. He completed just 47.7% of his passes in 11 games last season and recorded more interceptions (12) than passing touchdowns (eight). Previous reporting indicated that Richardson Sr. was behind Jones in the QB competition heading into 2025, and it does not seem as though the first few days of Colts training camp have changed that.--Will Brady

I heard that AR was ahead of Jones after Friday's practice FWIW.

1 in a row!

Might be all it takes to beat out Danny 2 nickels.

That's the part being left out. Danny looked like trash ALL 3 days. AR looked like trash on 2 of 3 days.

Sure would be nice if they looked like trash less often than they looked like NFL QBs but last week wasn't the week for that.

All it takes is one practice?
