[QUOTE=Colts And Orioles;265375]o


When Peyton Manning was a rookie in 1998, the Colts went 3-13. In a game against the Patriots, they were getting routed by a score of 29-0 in the 4th quarter. Manning asked the Colts' offensive coordinator if he could come out of the game. Bruce Arians, the Colts QB coach at the time, said l "F--k no, get back in there. We'll go no-huddle, and maybe you'll learn something. You can never ask to come out of a game, unless you're injured. You're our leader ...... act like it."

Manning proceeded to lead the Colts to a touchdown drive right after that exchange with Arians, avoiding the shutout ...... the final score was of the game was 29-6, and Manning clearly proved to be the leader that the Colts needed him to be from then on.

When Peyton Manning Wanted to Be Pulled From a Blowout, Bruce Arians Refused

Manning came to the pros fundamentally ready. He'd had a childhood raised by a NFL QB, started 45 games in college, and was a tireless student that studied and prepared for each and every game. Richardson has only 13 games of experience, has some mechanical flaws that need to be corrected.

There's not just one way for a QB to be handled when entering the NFL. However, if the Coach says start him in game 1, I'm cool with that. I'm a fan, not a coach.

I hope he starts week 1, he can lean on his athleticism early on
