Anthony Richardson has one of the highest ceilings we've ever seen for a QB

Another thing to consider about Richardson's accuracy: his average depth of target is 13 yards so he's throwing the ball way deeper than any other QB. Flacco is at 9 yards running the same offense.

That is part of the reason his accuracy is so low this year at 50%. Last year his aDOT was 8 yards and he hit 60% of his passes. Still not good but I doubt his accuracy regressed.

He needs to stay on the field and Steichen gotta do a better job playcalling or reigning dude in. He can still throw deep shots without being our offense being feast or famine. Him getting to play with Josh Downs more will hopefully help.

Wonder how long it takes before there's a team mutiny to start Flacco instead. He's very fortunate Huntley is terrible which makes this game pretty winnable if he just plays mediocre.
Too bad the colts defense can’t stop any QB, let alone a mediocre one

Colts concern isn't winning games, it's developing Richardson.

Yeah let's have a Flacco mutiny so we can win 7-9 games and not have the draft capital to replace AR if we need to.

These guys are professionals trying to win NOW not lose winnable games because the best Quarterback on the team is intentionally not being played. There's also the case where a lot of these guys are playing for their bags and their numbers are directly being impacted by poor QB play.

Patriots players got Brissett outta there and forced Mayo to play Maye for that reason.
