Colts 2023 A Time To Change

He’s got the physical gifts, and a coach who knows what to do with it. I think it’s the best scenario, but the NFL will be a lot different than college.

Well to be fair, he didn't start that many games in college so he wasn't really used to that either.

I watched most of the Florida games last year. AR was either spectacular or a train wreck. It will be a toss up which we get.

Titans take an OT with the 11th pick.

Worried they might have taken Levis and he turn out good in the Colts division…

 

[Ingomike]

It’s time.

Time for a clean-slate, ground-up rebuild.

Need a new coach. New General Manager. Draft a young quarterback. Keep a couple key pieces and get rid of some expenses veterans.

Time for a new era of Colts football

Almost all of it…

Almost all of it…

Irsay is definitely bought in to whatever Ballard is selling him. He’s a believer in his vision.

Will that work out?

Would have rather seen Levis selected. AR is the least proven of the four, very few starts, and when was the last time the Colts had a scrambling QB. Seems as though you have a JT in the backfield a poised pocket passer would be a better selection.
Time will tell.

Ironically, it’s actually the exact opposite. Taylor will benefit specifically because Richardson is a mobile QB

Top five teams in rush yds/gm last season:

Bears
Ravens
Falcons
Giants
Eagles

Not a single pocket passer on that entire group. All mobile QB’s. It just puts more stress on the defense.

And only one of those teams was in the top 4 seeds in their conference. The QB rushing yards has a negative effect on the passing yards as well as the rushing yards of the running back.
I hope for the Colts I am proven wrong but Cleveland was a prime example of a team changing strategies and QBs for over a decade without any success.

AR completed 53.8% of his passes and tucked and ran 103 times. Neither of those will cut in in the NFL. But he is a freak athlete much like Tom Brady............. oh well maybe not Tom Brady.

Three of them were in the playoffs (two of them won a playoff game) and one went to the Super Bowl

What was Josh Allen’s completion percentage in college?

What was Jalen Hurts completion percentage his rookie season?

Spoiler alert - terrible…

 

[ChristianPatriot]

I’ll save you some googling.

Josh Allen college completion percentage: 56%

Jalen Hurts rookie season completion percentage: 52%

Let's revisit this threat about next January. AR played one year of college but he sure can jump high and run fast.

I can already picture the victory laps in here when he struggles his rookie year.

We won’t know what he can become for two or three years.

Dude‘s nickname is AR15 for cryin’ out loud!

He’s the perfect INGO quarterback!!

I will be very happy if I'm wrong about AR15, however having watched Jalen at Bama and Oklahoma, one could tell who he was and his upside.

His character, poise, and willingness to do what needed to be done for the team to win, including adapt and learn, even if that meant him not being the one.


I can see the physical about AR15 but not the rest, because he just hasn't had the experience yet.

 

[MrGiggles]

I'm optimistic, but mostly because what other choice do I have lol

Richardson showed he *can* be great, now it's up to him, Steichen, Cooter, and Turner to help him be great consistently. If any group of coaches can do it, it's them.

Just watched AR's post-pick press conference from last night.

Seems like a good kid. I think I like him.

Anthony Richardson: I'm going to try to be ready as fast as I can - ProFootballTalk

One of the doubts about quarterback Anthony Richardson heading into the draft was whether he’s ready to start in the NFL after limited experience as a starter at Florida, but those questions didn’t stop the Colts from taking him with the fourth overall pick.The Colts have Gardner Minshew on the...
