This shouldn't surprise anyone who understands the Caste System:
The Athletic’s James Boyd reports Anthony Richardson is expected to return as the Colts’ starting quarterback in 2025. Boyd’s report is via team sources. It’s at least a little surprising that the Colts wouldn’t try to find a quarterback to push Richardson after an uninspiring sophomore season, but this is how the Colts under Chris Ballard have operated: They aren’t afraid to give their younger players extended looks even after they’ve struggled. What are the Colts going to do, fire Ballard? Richardson, who told reporters his back problems “might be chronic” enters the offseason needing to take a big leap to prove everybody who believed in him right.
