Healthy Anthony Richardson could open up Indianapolis Colts offense | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

Colts had a top 10 offense without their starting qb and without Jonathan Taylor for most of the year
4 games
@@Cracktune4 games what?
@@CracktuneTaylor only played in 10 games and the first few he was limited
Shane is HIM
This year will be a different story with a much more enjoyable ending. 💙💯😎
not gonna lie, the Colt's could be one of the best teams in the NFL this year if they live up to their potential. There are proven starts, or young guys with extremely high upside at every position. Biggest thing in this team's way is health and experience.
The context always missing from this conversation is how he got injured.
1) The concussion - came when he let up when was crossing the goal line on a pointless hit. And the concussion came when he hit his head on the ground not the hit itself. And it was also turf for what it’s worth. Lesson learned protect yourself at all times, because guys will cheap shot you if they can.
2) The Shoulder - look at the play and the way the defender lays on his shoulder/arm. There is no way he wasn’t going to get injured. The issue is how he took the hit or lack there of. He needs to be careful about knowing when to fight and when to go down. And then make sure he goes down in a way that lessens impact. But my point is any QB is getting injured if the defender sprawls out on your arm.
I don’t think he is injury prone. He just made some rookie mistakes and because defenders are out to make a point against him (because of his size and hype) he unfortunately paid the highest price.
FINALLY, someone who looks at context. A concussion can happen to any player at any time, that's not a running QB specific thing. And there have been multiple pocket QBs who have injured their shoulders by getting hit while they throw the ball.
Let alone the fact that his AC joint has a history with an injury going back into his high school days. It's probably a good thing for his long term future that he was able to get surgery on in to fix the issue before putting more damage on it. The fact that he took himself out for the concussion shows how mentally mature he is also, so he's likely to heed the warnings from everyone that he needs to protect himself better. But "injury prone"?!? I don't see it yet.
very well said. I would agree.
Also the shoulder injury came on design run no ?
@@nickmoore4065I believe it was an RPO but either way idc how big you are if another player lands on top of while you're falling on your shoulder is going to potentially hurt anyone regardless of play or position
@@nickmoore4065 What happened to AR isn't too dissimilar to what happened to Aaron Rodgers a few years ago when he had his shoulder injury. It didn't matter so much that he was on a designed run, but the fact that as he was being brought down he landed directly onto his shoulder with the full weight of the defender on top of him just increasing the force of the impact. Rodgers had his collarbone break, AR had the ac joint (where the collarbone connects into the top of the "shoulder blade") tear apart, but both similar in how they got injured.
His build for a QB is wild, can't wait to see him back in action.
Until he's hurt a second year, im not calling a young player injury prone smh
What about history of injuries in college?
@@TyreeTravels Like I said...If he gets hurt again on the pros I'll have the discussion
AR has been dealing with the injury since high school per reports. Now he got it fixed. Now let's see what happens. Personally I think he will be fine. I am not worried at all till proven wrong.
Long as he's healthy they will win the division
Not the Texans?
@Bronk0Nagurski the division came down to the last game between them last year maybe the same thing will happen can't sleep on Tennessee either
@@oaklandtraphouse the only reason they won the division was the jags chocked and Lawrence had a crap load of injuries.
Lol 0% chance brother
@bradymac2158 its gonna be a challenge but anthony richardson was actually really good. He might have lost the 2 full games he played but it was to a playoff team in the rams and a jags team that was dominant early. Ar had 713 total yards and 7 tds in 2 games and like 1 full qtr. Ar was showing off some impressive stuff when he was on the field. If he plays the full season he could be crazy.
Simms said AR is getting thick 😭😭
Daaaayyuum boi he thicc booooiiiii😂😂
Stafford missed so much time his first two seasons. It turned out fine for him.
Colts feel like the hardest team to predict this coming season, I can see anywhere between 6-11 wins.
Ehhh idk. If we didn’t have a solid back up sure. But we have Flacco coming off a great season I think the floor is 9 wins
Gonna be 12
Fr, this one’s gonna be a rollercoaster. I just hope it’s a fun one
Even being a Colts fan I feel like this is accurate af. We could be the real deal or picking in the top 10. No in between
No way we win less with the qb than without
AR will do great things this season.The hate train is serious right now, but I don't see them talking about how Burrow has been injured for the past 4 seasons
no one hates this kid(way too humble), he's just unproven, he warrants the hype around him for sure, he just has to put it together on the field and the narrative will return back to him being Cam 2.0
Hate and criticism are very different
I think Burrow is a bit overrated but comparing commentary on AR to a guy that’s been in the Super Bowl is wild
AR, Taylor, Pittman, and not Mitchell. This team has sizzle. The only thing Colts need to do is keep AR healthy.
So nice to see a show talk about a team other than the cowboys and jets
No one is talking about this for some reason, but the Colts were one of a handful of NFL teams that used the old turf have those teams using that turf have 30% more catastrophic injuries. This year the Colts got rid of the old turf for the new turf, which according to statistics, you have less catastrophic injuries.
Wow didn’t even know this, cool fact
Hopefully the coaching staff has worked with him on protecting himself. People were so concerned that he was going to get hurt last season that Trevor Lawrence before a game told him "dude, you have to learn to slide or you are going to get hurt".
People honestly mad he is getting praise, if it was their QB they would be just as hype as us.. Have your opinions but don't be a hypocrite not a good look js
Kinda forgot about this guy until he was brought back up. Better luck this season i hope.
If he gets hurt we ha Flacco and he looked amazing last year
They’ve been cursed at quarterback? They had the best QB of all time for 14 years, then they dump him and get Andrew luck for five years. I’ll take that curse.
I think they’re referring to post Andrew Luck, we haven’t had a good, reliable qb since
Tbf Luck was hurt a lot. Manning cursed them when he left.
Why do people feel like he’s Superman? You got 11 other guys on defense who are built just like he is. And they are bringing the wood.
Please don’t throw the word curse around 😂 as an Indy fan don’t start that shit
Let Ant play from the pocket. scrambling only when he has too. no more QB powers up the middle. dude can play from the pocket and wants to throw from the pocket. let Jt run the football.
He also had 4 tds rushing. But they don’t list that as if it’s not part of his game.
As a Colts fan, I have to say AR is still a big question mark. we really don’t know if he’s good enough to be a starter in the NFL yet. hopefully he will make it through the year and we will find out.
I disagree the Rams game showed me all I needed to know about Richardson. Just like the Georgia game showed me all I needed to know about stroud. As long as both are healthy should be a very competitive afc south
The colts offense should be lethal if AR5 is healthy. Their defense is the concern, especially the secondary
I mean the only weakness on the entire team is the secondary. Other than that theyre a pretty solid team all around. I can see them drafting a corner next year first round tho just to fill the void
Their secondary is solid they had a top 10 one a few years ago much of that carried over. They lead in take aways. Granted we brought in Gilmore he play decent. I think we will grab a veteran.
I can't help but compare him to Trey Lance. Great athlete, really high potential... But green and unproven. His ability to process the game quickly is the question.
I know we got to only see a small sample this past season but to me I think he did good processing the game he just needs to learn how to protect himself better especially considering he already said he's not changing his playing style
Watch the 2nd half of colts vs rams last year
Processing wasn’t an issue. Actually thought he processed way better than Minshew and Matt Ryan.
Damn I really wanted the old timer piano music to come in 😂
He's still young, and now with Joe Flacco backing him up, Joe can give that valuable experience on protecting himself. I agree with the previous commenter, he stays healthy, they win the division. adding Adonai Mitchell is HUGE, they basically stole a top 3 reciever with that pick. For The Shoe Baby
Trevor Lawrence NEVER looked like a top 5 QB. That was always projection
The Bengals almost drafted Michael Pittman Jr in the 2nd round of the 2020 draft. They drafted Tee Higgins instead. Higgins was taken at 33 and Pittman was taken by the Colts at 34. I think the Bengals picked the right guy. Looking at measurables Pittman is a little bigger than Tee, he is faster and has better explosion numbers than Tee and Pittman scored quite a bit higher on then Wonderlic test. So after 3 years Pittman has 336 catches, 3662 yards, and 15 tds in 62 games played and 56 games started. Tee Higgins has 257 catches, 3684 yards, and 24 tds in 58 games played and 53 games started. So Pittman has more catches but he played more games than Tee and Tee has more yards and tds than Pittman has.
This my thing 1. he didn’t get knock out the season AR and the colts made the decision to just focus on getting him ready next year rather then playing on a bum shoulder and what what it been for Highlights?
2. Is AR the first rookie to get hurt in his rookie season? Tua was a concussion away from being medically retired. Burrow sneezes and is out for the remanding season but AR gets hurt and it’s instantly he’s injury prone…the dude haven’t even played in enough games to even determine that
3. Then y’all talk like he was supposed to just jolly into the NFL after playing on a college level and just know everything from throwing the ball to protecting himself on a NFL level..Like he was just supposed to start and day 1 already be NFl pro ready know how to get down, know how to fall so you don’t injure your self, know how to drop a dime, and know when to run….it’s like where was the thought that this dude has a lot to learn especially with his style of play it’s going take a minute before he grasp everything….y’all was saying he shoulda sat his first year any way
I curious if he’s a legit qb. His numbers weren’t good in college.
It looked even worse in person. Those numbers were charitable.
@@iancarrey4123bullshit lmao... He was literally that whole team... Absolutely no one but him and pearsal.
@@brokemarleyok but pearsall was a legit 1st round pick WR. It’s not like Josh Allen at Wyoming throwing to janitors.
@deangulberry1876 Florida coach is a bum. He did nothing to help him. I have florida friends and they all think the coach wasted any potential.
The injuries he sustained didn't necessarily come from the hits, but the way he landed and fell. The concussion was like that, and the shoulder injury was a bit of a freak accident that happened to me when I played football and also similar to what happened to Baker Mayfield-his weight compressed on his shoulder and tore the ligament. I think it'll benefit him to be more cautious, but I didn't necessarily watch him and think, "oh this guy's reckless with no concern for his body." Just some unfortunate falls.
I’m assuming the Colts will move on from him if he continues to get injured from “falling”?
Colts will be just fine this year.💯
HAHA!! At 5:00 minutes Simms puts Florio on the spot and asks how good does he think the Colts will be this year and then immediately says, “I’ll go first since I’m putting you on the spot here” which translates to: Florio we both know that you don’t know shit about this team or its roster or coaching philosophies or recent drafts and position outlooks, let me throw ya a bone here. That’s why SIMMS ALWAYS GOES FIRST. So Florio can just piggyback off of Simms, who is actually legit at his job and knows what he’s talking about, and talk in vague terms like he already knew all the stuff that Simms said, even though that’s comical and he’s not fooling us for a second
Thank God the Bengals FINALLY get a break with the schedule. They only have like the 20th most difficult schedule this year after 2 years of once the hardest and in 2022 it was the second hardest. And the Bengals
Play in a much tougher division than the Texans and Colts do.
Titans have a bunch of aging WRs and a questionable decision making QB. I’m not too worried about them.
Levis is better than Richardson.
The Colts have a good offensive line. They have the leagues best guard in my opinion in Quinton Nelson. They have a good right tackle and they have Bernhard Reieman at LT and he is pretty good too. Not sure about the other guard or center.
The Colts Will Bounce Back Very Strong They Better Don't Sleep On The Colts This Season
Everyone loses their mind over a rookie QB barely getting any playing time their first season. 9 out of the 27 (fully a third) QBs selected in the first round since 2016 played less than half the games their rookie year. And there are some uber freaking successful superstars on that list. Look it up. AR5 is gonna light it up. The Colts are gonna be scary this season. Come at me in December if I’m wrong.
sure he could, but its not a question of if hes healthy now, its whether he can stay healthy all year.
If AR uses the sideline as his friend he can be a threat for along time. I can’t tell you how many times Mahomes runs towards the sideline the defender lets up and Pat picks up another 5-10 yards. It drives me nuts watching him do that.
Indianapolis Colts all the way 💙🤍🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉💪👀🏉🏉🐎
Go Colts!!
You've heard of "sneaky good"... If AR is the real deal, this Colts team could be sneaky great.
When you get knocked out…… by secondary guys!! 😂😂😂
You must be tough 😂
Man's really knocked himself out if you watch it, body so big when it landed his weight gave himself a concussion
Richardson does look bigger than last year. Joe Burrow is definitely bigger. He played at 220 at LSU and played at 215 last year. He appears to be at 225-230 right now. If I had to guess I would say 227.
The colts have Kenny Moore playing nickel cb too. He is real good. It’s a toss up between him and Mike Hilton for the best Nickel in football in my opinion.
Bro i root so hard for this kid because the naysayers wanna see him fail its like Lamar. I seen in 4 games enough to know he has it. Inexperience is the only thing with AR he was getting better by the game he was gonna go crazy vs Tennessee
I think the Colts will be more of a Complete Team like the Basketball Team is in Indy!
Hope they can fly under the radar all season, avoid "pundits" like this
I think the Colts could win the division. I think Jax. could win the division. And the Texans could win the division. It's going to be an exciting season
Anthony Richardson is the size of Micah Parsons but a little taller
Richardson will have a healthier career than Burrow
I was forced to watch Richardson at UF. He can’t make a read and wasn’t even the best QB there. He got pulled constantly for poor play. It’s wild to think he got drafted this high.
@iancarrey4123 it's not college any more UF is not a good team and theybdont develop qbs there
i get this is a prediction, but there's really no evidence for it- Richardson is a talent, but this idea that anyone knows what to expect is a silly- dude is yet to really survive contact and keep playing for any extended period of time- If I wasn't a Colts fan I know what I'd say about this- but I hope I'm wrong, because it'll be years before this roster bottoms out enough to pick a QB again.
It’s soo interesting how these nfl analysts types has all these assumptions about the Texans that they themselves don’t
Rivers did fine with the Colts. Wentz was okay. Ryan was a catastrophe.
hmm, I always questioned cjs heart. he got the talent for sure. but this is the nfl. if ur not always trying to get better, u will get passed up. colts and Texans split games. and texans was 4 yards short of not going to the play offs vrs colts backup qb. this season Gina be wild. if Ant stays healthy watch out. colts win the division
We Haven't Win Are Division In A Longtime
Our secondary is trash and I believe it will keep us out of the playoffs once again. Ballard did absolutely nothing to address it in the draft
Why does he always have his top button buttoned. Put a tie on or Unbutton that shit
Cautiously optimistic. Love the ceiling, terrified of the floor. In his games last year, he looked legit though. The concussion was a rookie moment for sure. The Colts have set that team up for him to succeed so we’ll see. I got Colts winning 9 games next season
The Rams game is where he really showed "it"
You look at the highlights from the Rams game. You definitely can see what this offense under Shane can become. They literally ran the same look 3 different plays and scored points each time. And that was them dialing it back for him as a rookie.
let’s go Colts
We've seen this story before .. no .. no he wont stay healthy and hes one dimensional, hes simply not good enough throwing the ball .. he was a "project" coming out of college and still today in Indy .. he'll be gone in a couple of years
Count how many times he says "right" and "like".
To add to the dominos - colts were one pass away from making the playoffs.. against those Texans haha
All I got 2 say is ShoeGangOrDontBang
this is ARs make or break year in terms of injuries. he’s not gonna come in and be a MVP because he still needs reps to develop. but the team and weapons the colts have put him in a position to succeed. it’s just on how he plays
Passing numbers do not say a lot more about his future other than he is not bad.
Let's f______ go!
Sense 2013
Houston is BARELY the king of the south. Jags and Colts were both one game (and in the colts case one dropped pass) away from winning the division
@tylerrobertson7919
The Texans had no business even being in contention for the playoffs. They were suppose to be a lottery team. They were banged up all year and had a rookie QB and first year coaching staff. They had a worst overall roster than either the Colts or Jags last year and were probably the least talented team entering the playoffs. They have improved thru free agency and the draft. Winning the AFC South with a second rate roster was rather impressive.
@@edwardflores7108 Yes, but at the same time, they barely did it. Keep in mind the colts’ entire secondary AND starting QB were injured AND their top 3 RB was banged up most of the year, so it wasn’t just the Texans being good and doing better than expected. Not to mention, this year they have the fourth hardest strength of schedule, so they’re not getting a cake walk
@@tylerrobertson7919
I agree. However injuries are part of the game. The Texans offensive line was in shambles the majority of the year. The run game was one of the worst in the NFL and heading into the Colts game most of the Texans receivers were out. Tank Dell, Noah Brown and Woods were out. It was basically Stroud to Nico Collins that won the Texans that game. Houston basically won the division with glue and duct tape lol. They needed to rely mostly on Stroud being otherworldly as a rookie to be competitive. The entire AFC South is improving but no one saw Houston rebuilding as quickly as they did. Even if Houston had lost against the Colts and missed the playoffs can anyone really say that the Texans winning 9 games was something anybody expected. They were suppose to be an easy win on the schedule and laughingstock. Their schedule will be much more difficult this year but their roster is also much improved so they can't be written off.
@@edwardflores7108 Oh certainly not, I’m not saying they should be written off at all, they’re a scary team having to face twice in a year, I’m just saying they’re not gonna cake walk their way into winning the division either
@@tylerrobertson7919
I agree. However as a Texans fan I'm pretty well versed in our history. Houston has 7 division titles and have never won the division by more than 1 whole game. They never win the division easily lol. Last year was a grind as always. They had to beat a playoff team in Pittsburgh, needed Stroud to be just about perfect against Tampa, had to beat Burrow in Cincy, had to upset division favorite Jacksonville, beat a surprisingly hot Broncos team, had to survive starting Case Keenum against the Titans to win in overtime and had to send our rookie QB to hostile territory in Indy with a playoff berth on the line, in a primetime game no less. It was no cakewalk and winning the AFC South this year will be even tougher. All four teams in the division have improved. Should be a fun season!
A healthy team will be the team nobody wants to play.
They Hating On Our Team
Colts 11-6 incoming
13-4
Pshhhh! 6-11 yeah ok!
@@courtneyrobinson4087Put the pipe down
What happens to sims eyes
A.R. is 1 and 0 against CJ Stroud. Js.
CJ Stroud steadily improved as the season went on. The Texans did as well. Going into the first Colts game everyone was expecting Houston to be a lottery team.
Cursed?? They had Peyton for 15 years, then Luck…. Cursed my ass
common sense... slide 🤷🏿♂️
Indianapolis Colts all the way 💙 🤍 🏉 🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉👀💪🏉🏉
Rg3 the second
He had a major surgery on his throwing shoulder
Or he could be a comete bust unable to stay on the field. Who knows...?
How much larger they want him to be? Didn’t he come into the league at like 240? lmao
He came to training camp last year at 255! Not sure what Mike and Phil are talking about here.
My guy about to play with the dad's of the world with that old man strength. Dude better stop taking on takles or so de papa going to r.i.p his ass!😂
Colts won't win anything with Ballard. He's 54-60-1, he can't build a complete team. The secondary is weak AGAIN
He is a bust..... 5th rnd talent
No 💩
The texans will finish jn 3rd place in the division maybe even 4th!!
You misspelled Titans
No. It's gonna happen
LOL.😂 CJ Stroud is NOT him! Stroud is going to take a step back this year watch. Do you know which QB has had the most impressive rookie season in the last 15 years? Because it ain’t CJ Stroud. It’s Justin Herbert. And it’s a perfect comparison with Stroud because they both played 15 games in their rookie years. He’ll Mac Jones rookie year was almost as good as Strouds.
Relax
CJ Stroud is special! 😎
The colts r trash AR should go to the LA Rams
Nice troll attempt
The hype for this guy that we barely saw play is insane right now. Edit: I'm sorry for criticizing yall's god and I pray that he calls each and every one of you simps so you can stop crying about my opinion. edit2: the crying continues "WAAAAAAH how dare you not love the player i love the exact same way WAAAAAAH you are dumb and stupid WAAAAAH" - the comments 🤣🤣☠
After not a lot of college play either. Really just hype of physical stats
Did you guys watch him play last year ?
@codyb.3015 been hearing about how awesome this guy is for 2 weeks straight now. Maybe get outside the groups you are in if you haven't heard it little fella.
@oaklandtraphouse yeah saw him play ok in 4 games and get hurt in 3 of them at the same time. Think he could be great but availability is a huge concern before we crown him the savior of the colts.
@@cheezits3632 samething happened to joe Burrow his rookie year , he'll be OK
Yea the Texans had the benifit of having one of the top 5 easiest schedules in the league.
@NathanDean79
The Texans still can't be underestimated. They were expected to be terrible and won the South with a rookie QB and first year coaching staff. They improved in the off-season. They have a better roster than they had last year. Their schedule will be tougher but the team as a whole is better on both sides.
