Anthony Richardson is going to be a problem before long.
 

Look at his game, here. Shane Steichen may have done it again. First he turned Jalen Hurts into what looks like a Top 5 QB, and Richardson... my god.

Just, look at this tape. Richardson may end up being better.

Richardson is still reckless though, he's already been injured a couple of times, if he doesn't keep that in check it's a problem.

We will see but this is why I would have taken him over Stroud/Young. The upside is very high for him.

That's always the risk with these guys, isn't it?

I hope he stays healthy enough to develop -- he's shaping up to be an insanely fun athlete to watch.

Some of those passes are Mahomesian.

Delivering on what Cam Newton promised.

I think, if I were making the #1 overall pick, I would have taken Stroud. The health risks were too great with Young and Richardson just looked like a less-refined Justin Fields. Really, Richardson is enticing but only makes sense for one coach in the NFL: Shane Steichen.

If you put him with most other coaches, he becomes Justin Fields. But Steichen has the golden touch with these kinds of QBs and he's absolutely crushing it with Richardson, who to my mind looked like a guy who'd have to completely re-learn the position.

Shows you what I know.

You can't run as a QB in the NFL and survive. You will get hit, get hurt, and miss games.

It doesn't matter.

So far Stroud has been very good also, Young is the one that's been ass.

479 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT through 4 games. Let's tap the brakes a bit, yeah?

Yes, well aware he missed a game due to a concussion Unfortunately it was directly due to his running style and those are going to rack up as he plays so gonna go ahead and count it.

I love it. I live near Charlotte and I can’t stand their bandwagon fans.

Stroud's looked very good.

The difference to my mind is that he's over in the NFC. Richardson's in a division that's ripe for the taking for the next decade if Trevor Lawrence can't screw his head on straight and the Chiefs may have to face him every year.

He’ll be on the injury report practically every week with his style of play.

A problem for the Colts I assume you mean?

Said it 500X in the Spring. Richardson needed a coach like Steichen and if they got together it could be successful.

Having said that..Stroud is far better. That guy is gonna be a problem. Stroud is what the Packers hoped Love would be.

Stats aside, look at the video.

Look at what he does in the video. He looks really, really good. And like you said, he's just four games in.

Anthony Richardson is going to be a problem before long.
 

I still can’t understand how a team takes a guy the size of an undersized high school QB with the number 1 overall pick. At least he’s probably bad enough for them to try again in this next draft.

It Direckshun. His entire schtick is hyperbole and "hot takes." He's played 4 games and already been hurt, but "this guy is going to be a problem."

P.S.--His mother is a whore.

They somehow simultaneously passed on Stroud for Young AND gave up what seems to be an incredibly realistic chance at Williams or Maybe next year. That's going down as one of the worst overall transactions in history.

The Texans are in the same division as Lawrence and Richardson. Young is the one in the NFC.

Shane Steichen plus this guy's talents... I mean. How can you not get excited about that?

Oh god. LMAO My mind got the Texans and the Panthers mixed up.

Thank you, rep.

LMAO Uhh, wut?

He'll be a problem for the Colts before he's a problem for the Chiefs.

They don't have a 1 so uh about that.

One thing is for sure, whether you prefer Richardson or Stroud, the Panthers are mind bogglingly stupid for taking Young over both of them. Just an ungodly terrible decision that will get a lot of people fired, and deservedly so.

They gave up a starting WR and a bunch of extra picks to basically allow the Bears to become good in a few years.

Probably thought they had the next Drew Brees.

Haha wow. That’s the one traded to the Bears?

Richardson will now be a bust

Yea...right now Chicago has pick 1 and pick 2.

there is this guy named Patrick Mahomes…

John **** up a crowbar in a sand box Elway got as much out of Manning in five years. As the Colts got out of him in 13. Then destroyed the next Peyton Manning, Luck. Problem is in house

I haven't seen the video you posted but i watched him play Sunday as the Colts were on locally, and i agree.

I came out of that game going, "Damn i think the Colts found a QB". He had some nice, nice throws. Power, arm angle, accuracy...

Time will tell if he can put it ALL together, but the talent jumps off the screen.

When you draft a QB at the top of the draft, you are swinging for the fences with the bases loaded.

Why draft a QB who is merely a single, or double at best potential wise?

Richardson was the only guy at the top of the draft who had the potential to be great. Sure, he was raw and could be a bust, but his ceiling was much, much higher than the other guys. I really hoped he would fall to the Raiders.

Panthers are owned by a galaxy brained VC douchemonkey.

Of course he’d try to show he’s the smartest guy in the room.

This is what happens when a hedgefund guy buys a team..

Ask the Mets about it.

I was real low on stroud but the Georgia game was when everything seemed to click for him. He looks like the best of the class. Richardson has been ok enough as a rookie but I think it’s largely a product of using athleticism and Steichen doing great with scheme. So I just don’t know how much he’s Jalen or he’s kyler. Stroud has been flat out excellent as a prototypical qb.

That's Pat's last choice in a huge scrambling hole - not his first, second or even third choice.

There is a massive difference in how Mahomes runs and even how Lamar runs compared to how Josh Allen and Cam Newton would do it and Richardson is much more like Allen/Newton as a runner.

Richardson can throw the ball. He has a very talented arm.

I didn't pay much attention to the QB's during the draft this year, so i came away pretty impressed after watching him on Sunday.

That could be great except Williams apparently may not come out if they don’t like the situation.

He’s a much much better passer than I thought he would be, having never watched him before this season. He has a real chance to have a Josh Allen type progression in his completion percentage.

He’s insanely athletic. He’s always the best athlete on the field.

That said, he’s got to learn to dial it back some. He’s gotten hurt twice because he lays it all out there on every play. He was a little better last Sunday in terms of not taking so many hits but he still has a ways to go.

All in all, I couldn’t be more excited about him. He has the talent and drive to be an all time great.

I also agree, Stroud is going to be a problem for many years to come. He’s a really talented passer.

Richardson is a really good fantasy QB but I'm not sure how much he's going to actually win games.


I'd much rather have Stroud and Stroud will stay healthy

He looks better than Trey Lance.

Lol, I'm laughing at myself. Clearly I know jack and sh*t about evaluating a QB.

I watched about three series of this game, and I was thinking, 'this dude straight sucks'; I saw nothing that impressed me. He threw some dirt darts, scrambled around, took a sack and generally looked uncomfortable back there.

Yet again CP comes through with the next level analysis and shows me that I don't know what I'm looking at. It will be interesting to see how he develops.

Because I'm not a fan of the ****ing Colts, you blithering jackass.

Guaranteed, it's like the Madden curse when Direckshun crowns someone.

No he won't. Odds are he gets hurt again

Gushing about a guy who had 11 completions on Sunday?

YOOOOOOOO

Richardson and Stroud are in the same division. Young who is eating ass in the worst division in the NFC.

Or am I misunderstanding?

Lots to be excited about. Good for you.

But **** the Colts

For my brother’s sanity/sake, I really hope this kid is for real, and that IND does everything they can to protect him, and get him the best weapons $$$$ can buy.

I have bad news about Indy spending money on weapons

It certainly would be nice for the NFL to have more than a few QBs consistently worth watching, if that ends up being the case with this guy or Stroud, whoever.

Yep. He was my pick for the best QB in the draft.

So hot take of the week….

I expect that he’ll cool down with more sample size and as defenses adjust to him. But… cj stroud is a legit mvp candidate the first quarter of the season. Tell me how I’m wrong. Playing legit good football, turned his team around and he’s doing it with a b-team OL in a year where qb play hasn’t been great across the board.

Went on a podcast for a mock draft before the NFL draft happened and I had the overall #1 pick and I stand by my selection

the guy picking for the Chiefs nailed it

ya Young was hyped up too much because it looks like the other 2 QBs are way ahead of him. You can't really say it's the team around them either.

People are already saying Stroud is being carried by Nico Collins.




a guy who hasn't done jack shit before this season, and I know. He's been on my dynasty team since his rookie year

I don't know. I haven't paid any attention to the Colts or Richardson this year. His 54% completion percentage in college was a big red flag. Has that improved?

No not really. Hes at 56% so far this year. Will falter on 3rd downs.

Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we got bad blood (hey!)

Did you have to do this?
I was thinking that you could be trusted

It's probably going to be a couple years before that completion rate goes up. If it ever does.

That's why he's fun to watch, smart to draft in fantasy, and NOT a concern for the one seed Chiefs.

He's a pussy

Maybe not, but I would imagine you're a fan of good football.

Why is that so offensive? Good grief.

Nope, you got it right. Someone had pointed it out that I had a brain fart. Mea culpa.

Anthony Richardson is gonna have an injury problem...

AR is his own worst problem. Cam Newton II

Yeah this style of play isn't sustainable. A concussion and an injury to his throwing shoulder barely 5 games into his professional career

He ****ed his shoulder or right arm or what?? Doesn't look great walking off

This dude will never stay healthy. Injured in every single game so far. Now it looks like he may be done for season. Or at least for a while. Didn't look good.

If he chooses 'not' to be a student of the game he will end up in the endless pile of athletic QBs who thought their athleticism would be more than plenty to be a champion.:rolleyes: And this pile IS HUGE !!!:eek:

Pride before the fall.

Direckshun curse

Direckshun?

Sir?

Lmao, hurt again.

Montrell Washington should up his life insurance

Blue for Anthony Richardson

Hurt again. Damn shame.

The Colts officially placed Richardson on injured reserve on Wednesday, guaranteeing he'll miss at least a month after he suffered what NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported to be a Grade 3 AC joint sprain in Indianapolis' Week 5 win over Tennessee. The four weeks required by IR might not be all, though, according to Colts head coach Shane Steichen.

"We'll continue to evaluate that process," Steichen said on Wednesday. "Don't have a timetable to return."

Steichen remained rather vague on all things regarding Richardson's health

/Oh noes, oh well
