Anthony Richardson benched, Joe Flacco named starter

[10bandz]

As many missed blocks and dropped passes I have seen this team make for it to all boil down to him seems like sabotage. The coach continuing to call drops beyond three steps seeing the line isn't able to block anybody is crazy.......another franchise that sucks more than they think they do and dude is the cape goat now.

Facts. He was okay last season, 7 total TDd's and 1 INT in 4 games. Only one start with under 60% of his passes completed.

They're not done with him, right? You don't take a player this raw and give up on them so quickly. This is a multi-year project, he probably shouldn't have even started his first few seasons.

9ers did.

 

[Weaver31]

Well he sure can get his rest now

Stroud got the Colts and Panthers ditching their 2nd Year QBs early on.

 

[L. Deezy]

Anthony should hope another team takes a chance on him if he wants a fresh start. His time is done in Indy.

Oh lord.. something Jerry Jones would do.. trade for him as a bench project. Oh wait, we have Trey Lance for that

This is utter nonsense. All those guys are trash. Did teams just fail Jake Locker, Blake Bortles, Josh McCown, EJ Manuel, Johnny Manziel, Marcus Mariota, Carson Wentz, Paxton Lynch, Mitchell Trubisky, etc.?

All of them would have been great if they were given 70 starts by this logic.

Do people think Indy wants Anthony Richardson to fail? He was 2/15 in the first half and requested to come out after he scrambled because he said he was tired. How the fukk do people think that's going to play in a locker room of professional grown men, all busting their ass to win? Anyone clutching their pearls over this bust getting rightly benched needs a reality check.

Richardson is completing 44% of his passes in a league where everybody is over 60% and it's never been easier for passing. He has a lower QB Rating than Bryce Young and MUCH lower than that scrub Will Levis. Skylar Thompson has a QB Rating over 20 points higher.

Never said I agree with it. I'm just sharing the tweet breh.

The problem is most of them shouldn’t have been starting right away.

 

[duckbutta]

The announcers at Florida would rave about his tools but then he would quickly over throw a check down by 15 yards.

So he's basically Justin Herbert then?

 

[seemorecizzy]

couple things here

1) The fact they ran a draw play after he left the game on 3rd and long shows the coaching staff wanted players on the team to feel some way about him leaving the game

2) AR was ass in college, it was obvious he was a developmental QB, really only had 2 good games his two years at UF

3) to point 2, dude ain’t start a full season yet. NFL teams be fukkin wildin giving up on high capital players early. Waste of a top 5 pick

Honestly i think they were gonna run it and settle for da field goal even if he stayed. They had nothing going on da first 2 downs and were far back. IT kinda makes it worse that he sat out because all he had to do was hand da ball off lol

Pretty much all were considered project players, but NFL GMs are fukking idiots outside of maybe five.

 

[Boonapalist]

I knew it’d be nikkas in here defending Richardson. That nikka took himself out cause he was tired and then admitted to it when he didn’t have to. How is that supposed to come off to the other players in the locker room.

Hell yeah he deserved to get benched

 

[Tribal Outkast]

I mean he can sit for awhile.. Dude don’t have to play right now. This is probably for the best anyway. He obviously has the tools.. he just need more time. it’s ok for him to wait it out.
