I'm still in Richardson's corner, warts and all.

YDFL Commish l recently pointed out that very few people believed in Terry Bradshaw and Bert Jones after their first 2 seasons in the NFL, and I think that that's a great point.

Perhaps the high point of his entire 2024 campaign was when he literally willed the Colts' offense to the game-winning TD-drive along with the subsequent 2-point conversion against the Patriots late in the season ...... on the 2-point conversion, everybody in the solar system probably knew that he was going to run the ball himself ...... and yet he still powered forward, straight into the Patriots' defensive line and across the goal-line for the game-winning play.

I think all Colts fans are in AR's corner. Daniel Jones could end up being a serviceable QB, but not much more than that and that will not lead to post season success. AR has not even come near what his potential could be. He may never do that, but then again?????

As Colts fans, we would all love to see him soar and take this franchise to great heights.

The apologist will grasp any small nugget to hang onto. I said from day 1, wasted pick and 100% a bust. His previous tape prior to the draft shows who we were getting, and it was a spot on. He is not an NFL QB and that is a factual. A case of can't see the forest through the trees.

I mean you could be right. probably are right that he won't ever turn into a consistent good qb


but


he has played very little ball. I have a hard time being that definitive about a guy with such a great skill set.

That's where I'm at.

When I say that I'm "still in his corner", I'm not necessarily predicting that he will have a good career, but rather that he might ...... and a 22 year-old who has 15 games as a starting quarterback under his belt is still in the proverbial wildcard status, as far as I'm concerned.

I have no problem with bringing in Daniel Jones as competition for the starting job QB, either ...... Chuck Noll benched Terry Bradshaw for the first 6 games of the 1974 because Joe Gilliam was playing better than he was, and in 1974 Bradshaw was 26 years-old and in his 5th NFL season.
