You a through and through Colts fan
Prepare for the onslaught of lazy non Colts watchers to tell you that he shouldn’t have been benched because potential
He is horrible. Flacco gives the team the best chance to win and frankly Steichen needs wins to stay in the seat.
No brainer.

I’d like to see Richardson get another shot, but not in Indy. Need that Spidey meme of the Colts, Panthers, and Browns pointing at each other as the league’s representative poverty franchises.
I’m dying because @Based Lord Zedd called the Flacco acquisition out the minute it occurred and look where they’re at now.

My thing is, what's the plan? They'll be respectable, but they're not winning a Super Bowl with Flacco.
Is the plan to fight for a 7th wild card and be a first round exit? Or at best get a upset win and then lose in the next round? Like what is the ultimate goal of the franchise? Because they won't be bad enough to draft a high QB with Flacco.
To me a team should be fighting for a SB or fighting to build a team for a SB. Being a middling team is actually the worst spot to be in, especially in Football.
If I'm a team I'd definitely call about Richardson, since it seems like they're done with him.
Whats his upside though?
He's big and fast? That doesn't work for a QB in the NFL if you can't throw, cant read defenses and can't really process anything happening in real time.
I'm not saying he's never gonna be shyt in the league, but it takes a perfect situation and the right staff to develop him. He's coming in with practically no tools at the position outside of his size and speed. Thats not the Colts....shyt thats not really any team at the moment.
The plan is to win games, evaluate the rest of the offense, and not Tank with a Tebow esque passer. Idk why people think you need 50 games to know whether or not someone can play.
Josh Rosen got 13 starts in Arizona with a worse team/coaching staff.
There's a reason why he didn't have a strong market despite his success. Browns were happy to dump him. @Supa is right he's fools gold.
You can't build anything long term with a 40 year old QB and he's not good enough to make a difference in the short term.
If you don't need 50 games to know whether or not someone can play, and 13 is enough. Doesn't that mean outside of Adonai Mitchell they've already been able to evaluate the rest of the offense?
I've said it in other threads, but Russ with a historic defense and Mahomes with a GOAT-tier coach and HOF WR+TE laid the blueprint to win on a QB's rookie scale deal before his payday presses you to go bargain hunting for the team roster.Pretty much all were considered project players, but NFL GMs are fukking idiots outside of maybe five.
The Colts have been doing that since August 2019. The problem is that the ceiling of those teams is severely limited and won’t amount to much come playoff time. It’s NFL purgatory.
No this is the first time they drafted a QB in the first round post luck. The problem is they did it with a guy who was garbage in college. Joe Flacco isn’t stopping you from drafting another guy next year.
They didn’t want the number 4 pick to be significantly worse than the corpse of Joe Flacco, but here we are.
