He means black player and it seems to be a little racist. Like Jayden Daniels and CJ Stroud are good players, so he doesn't think they can be smart, too? Just because they are also black? [Reply]
gets cut by the Colts in a couple of years, travels around playing backup roles and gets some chances to start games until he Sam Darnolds his way onto a Vikings team or Baker's his way into Tampa Bay or he just busts out of the league completely.
The screwed up thing is that Colts were messing with his throwing mechanics in season.
Someone mentioned this and it makes sense. Josh Allen has had that done but it was during the off-season. Of course it is going to mess with you when you are raw, have barely played any games and the coaching staff is messing with your mechanics. [Reply]
He will get traded somewhere this offseason to compete for a job and after next year will get put on waivers where he will go unclaimed. Andy will sign him to the practice squad and flip him for a 2nd or 3rd a year or 2 later. [Reply]
Why? I said this when he was drafted and it’s still true: Shane Steichen is the best coach to get success from on this kid based on what he did in Philly with Jalen Hurts.
But the kid is too raw and not smart enough. He has no idea how to run a two minute drill, he makes mind numbing stupid decisions throwing the ball. He’s just bad.
Daboll tried like hell to put all of his chips in the Drake Maye basket but unfortunately for him the Patriots weren’t gonna let Maye get past them. [Reply]
I dunno. If he's still stupid enough to publicly say he pulled himself out of the game because he's tired there's obviously something in his current situation he's not getting that he desperately needs. [Reply]
Not blaming Steichen either. But he may just not be the right guy to mentor someone so fucking stupid. Hell, Hurts seems to have to babysit Sirianni at times in Philly. [Reply]
Colts are a poorly ran franchise- the scouting report on Richardson was well known. An extremely gifted athlete who is going to need developing- shows moments of greatness but also a ton of inconsistency and poor play. If you aren't willing to go through the bumps and hiccups, why draft the player? Do the Colts think they actually have a shot of doing anything with Flacco as their QB? Maybe you sneak into the playoffs but you aren't going to win a god damn thing.
Richardson likely would have been better served sitting his first season ala Patrick Mahomes and learning the ropes that way but the Colts threw that away and started him way too early (season ending injury last year). 2024 is essentially still Richardson's first season, the comparison to Josh Allen is valid. Go look at Josh's first year of games and you'll see there was a ton of ugly games throwing the ball.
A franchise without a clear direction and another example of how not to develop players correctly. [Reply]
