Anthony Richardson has one of the highest ceilings we've ever seen for a QB

Colts have one of the best offensive lines in the league. If this season doesn’t go right I think they’ll go QB for the draft.
New owners this year, about to be a new GM.

Time for a new era unless AR can get Goodell to lower the injury sliders.

Was he playing with the first team? They completely let the defender come in untouched and crack AR
It looks like they overloaded the right side. Defensive line crashed left, extra rusher came in on the right side.

If anything I think QB shares some blame because they need to recognize the blitz or the pressure was going to come quick on the right side. Additionally tricky because the LB on the left side dropped back to buy more time for the blitz to get there.

Edit, looks like a couple former NFL players break it down:

That play really highlights he's not the guy. Usually the center and QB call out the hot LB before the snap. He had to know that if that LB rushed there would be a free rusher, so he has to get the ball out ASAP. Yet he just stood there and didn't even look where the pressure would come from. I don't see how you can make that mistake unless you're just an idiot who can't read defenses and don't know your o-line protections.

People are concerned that Anthony Richardson came into his 3rd season and didn’t recognize the protection/pressure on that play.

That IS worrisome.

But the issue I’ve always seen with Richardson is that he’s just not an accurate passer. And he never has been. So even if the finger will be okay in a few weeks, he’s likely not going to be reliable through the air.

People are so caught up with his running ability as if he could be the new Cam Newton. But he’s not Cam Newton.

Some things are obvious from the beginning. It’s baffling that the Colts keep lying to themselves about who Richardson is.

1)People are not "caught up" with his running ability.
2)When most people talk about AR, they talk about inaccurate passing and low passing % from HS/college/NFL.
