AR to miss minicamp with injury to AC Joint in Throwing Shoulder

[Chromeburn]

Guy was always a gamble. Gonna see if he improves this year. I’m not really worried about the shoulder. I think him going is just a precaution and getting a second opinion. I’m not stressing too much about it. If he can’t do it it’s back on the QB carousel again. Keep doing it till you hit.

This is a clear insinuation that AR is just happy to be in the NFL, and that greatness and winning are not part of his mindset.

I think we all knew that when he pulled himself out of the game!

Carlie was definitely prepared by Jim Irsay to be the voice of the team. Her words, cadence and tone are very similar to his.

how could you possibly know any of that? "he probably wasn't doing much"

They were all high #1 draft choices.

I don't know it, that's why I said "probably". What I do know is that if your arm was not very active for a few months and then suddenly you started throwing like crazy, you're going to get sore and achy.

I like listening to PFT, with Mike Florio and Chris Simms. SImms is one the best analysts and talent evaluators out there when it comes to offensive skill position players.

Simms believes that AR will always have shoulder troubles, because his throwing motion is so violent and AR only relies on his arm and doesn't use his whole body to create the torque in his throws. I believe this to be true, because all of the best throwers of the football, who listed a long time would use their entire body to make the majority of throws.

As I have said before, move the kid to TE, and see if he really wants it.

Anthony Richardson may never throw another pass for the Indianapolis Colts again, and I suppose that it's possible that Richardson confided in Carlie Irsay that he prefered to just hold a clipboard on the sidelines and collect a paycheck. But her insinuation about his lack of desire to play (if he wants to) doesn't necessarily prove that he doesn't have the desire to play. One of Richardson's questionable habits that I and others critiqued him for was putting his shoulder down and taking on defenders in non-crucial situations ...... such as 1st and 2nd downs. A quarterback who is too reckless in taking on defenders doesn't strike me as a gun-shy player and/or somebody who doesn't want to play football. If anything, it shows somebody who is a bit too eager to prove himself.

And yes, I know that he asked out of a game and later stated that he did so because he was tired, but as Omaha pointed out, that may have been him trying to cover up an injury because of all the criticsm that he had been getting for frequently being injured ...... and if that was the case, his cover-up was worse than the truth in the view of public criticism.

Simms, being a former QB himself, may have a point. And if that's the case, I would hope that the Colts' coaching staff notices what Simms does, and tries to (at least slightly) adjust his throwing motion.
