Irsay: AR Probably Done for the Season - ColtFreaks.com

Nothing is a given but at this point I believe this board would explode if we used our next number one on a QB next year (barring catastrophic injury news) As of now our ‘need’ at QB is filled, finding another new one should not dominate next off season. I completely understand that it may be filled with fools gold and we are back looking again in a few years but barring career ending injury I seriously doubt that.

I think our number one pick should be the best pass rusher available! Our defense has some good pieces in place, and we do already get pressure from time to time, just not consistently...but opposing QBs are just getting way too much time to find their targets!

This sucks for this season, but even more so it sets back AR's development significantly as he's only played in ~10 quarters.

Also, Steichen and Jim Bob are going to have to change up the offensive strategy and make all of these designed runs a thing of the past

Probably the right decision for long term health. Greater chance it comes back if he opts out. I think we are better with him but he’s a rookie. I’m more worried about the next ten years than the next ten games.

This guy looks at the bright side of the injury although bright side might be overstating it. It does seem true to me.

Seeing the Jags play tonight, I would not be surprised if the AFC South is the toughest division in the AFC next year and for a few years after that! Every team is the South is young and on the rise!

I would go w/ BPA between pass rush, WR, and CB.

Officially official....Irsay has now indicated that Richardson will undergo surgery and be out for the season:

Jim Irsay: After consultation with our medical staff, Anthony, and those close to him, it has been determined that he will undergo surgery to repair his injured shoulder, which will end his season. Anthony is a competitor, and we know how difficult and disappointing this is for him and our team.

We collected several medical opinions and we felt this was the best course of action for his long-term health. We anticipate a full recovery and there is no doubt Anthony has a promising future.

In the meantime, I love the fight of this team and I’m excited for the opportunity we have ahead of us. It starts this week with Cleveland.

Steichen says he won't put a formal timetable on Richardson, but he does think there's a chance Richardson is back for spring workouts.

It would be interesting if we actually got some information on why it needed to be surgery. We won't. This is obviously serious but AR should make a complete return physically. Sucks big time for all of us personally as we don't get to watch him play.
