Obviously this calls into question the guys heart and leadership. Lacking of course. However, the other lesson learned should be on the coaches. This is why you don’t encourage quarterbacks to play the “black style”, which is run every play (either around the pocket or on designed or improved runs). Then they need blows, just like a RB or WR who are sprinting around much more often. This should be common sense but modern football coaches are morons and have none.
As an aside, on Yahoo fantasy sports each player has their page which people can leave comments. Richardson is being universally reviled by the DWFs. All the comments are either that he’s trash or that they are dropping him and he ruined their season. A lot are calling for Flacco to start (which should be obvious to everyone that the Colts offense was better under Joe). If this guy is hated among the fantasy community, in which his running style gives him value beyond the real world, then I can only imagine what the average Colts fan thinks of him.

Went to bed at halftime but great to see the 49ers win against the odious Cowboys. Prescott continues to show he was the product of the Cowboys once dominant o-line and Elliot being a strong running back. Those days are long gone and Jerrah dumped a quarter billion dollars in Prescott for the next several years. Kittle had a huge game, Pearsall is getting involved.

Looks like Richardson is a mega-bust along the lines of Trey Lance and a number of other recent "revolutionaries" at the quarterback position but even worse when it comes to throwing simple passes accurately and avoiding injuries. The Colts were once a CF favorite -- and annually one of the best teams in the NFL -- when they had Peyton Manning and several White receivers along with TE Dallas Clark but those days are long gone and were clearly an aberration in the long and mostly dismal ownership reign of Jim Irsay.

He sure is. He has the lowest QB rating in the NFL, when looking at guys who have at least a couple of starts.
The Colts are sadly not too bad demographically, but solely on the back of the offensive line. To start the year they had a perfect 10/10 White offensive linemen. If Flacco were to take over as starter, they'd be on par with the Raiders, but perhaps perceived as less so due to almost no skills players or defensemen.

I found this tidbit on Richardson. It's amazing how delusional some people, often black athletes, are about their abilities and performance. Richardson thinks he's a "great passer." As far as the gassed part goes, tennis pros play for up to four hours and more, exerting themselves on practically every point, hundreds of them during the course of a four or five set match, while Richardson has to leave the field after running around for two consecutive plays. WGAs my ass:
Colts QB Anthony Richardson briefly exited the team’s Week 8 loss to the Texans after having two straight plays with extended scrambles. Richardson admitted he just needed a quick break after exerting a ton of energy on the previous few plays.
“I was tired,” Richardson said, via ESPN’s Stephen Holder. “I ain’t gonna lie. That was a lot of running right there. I didn’t think I was going to be able to go that next play, so I just told [Colts coach] Shane [Steichen] I just needed a break right there.”
Despite a down year compared to his rookie performance, Richardson remains confident in his passing and rushing abilities. “I feel like I’m a great passer. I’ve been playing quarterback pretty much my whole life. I’m just a different quarterback from everybody else, so people are going to try to point out that I’m not as efficient as everybody else. But it’s cool to me. I run the ball way better than every other quarterback. Probably not Lamar [Jackson], but [better] than most quarterbacks. So, I take advantage of my opportunities.”

I think that delusion will be his downfall. He’s obviously not a great passer, might historically go down as one of the worst of all time but as long as he believes he is great he won’t bother to improve accuracy. He will keep relying on his legs until they break down.

Giants with alot of penalties on offense. Not Daniel Jones fault.
Hilarious that they're showing "highlights" of retread tackle Chris Hubbard, rescued from the SF practice squad after being discarded by the Steelers and immediately made a starter by the Giants, and they're all turnstyle plays with Watt and Highsmith effortlessly going around him. The Giants seemingly will never stop starting lousy sumos at tackle.
Gotta admire this total bs excuse making for Richardson, the contortions the media will go through to "protect" a black QB. He has a completion percentage that harkens back to the 1920s yet somehow isn't nearly as inaccurate as his stats suggest:
Analysis: Richardson finished 10-of-32 for 175 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Week 8, which falls in line with most of his box scores this season. Much as has been the case all season, he wasn't nearly as inaccurate as his final line suggests and didn't get a lot of help from his teammates in some critical situations.

Same could be said about most teams in the league. Sumos are entrenched at the offensive tackle position because of made-up qualities that blacks are more likely to have, with subjective qualities on top of that. "Long arms", "quick feet", etc. The latter is a play on white stereotypes as white linemen almost always do better on shuttles and other tests to measure. And of course the "long arms" thing which is a completely useless metric.

The word is out and the hive mind is performing its programming- On the first three drives against the Texans, Richardson had a typical slow stat line -- 2 of 8 -- but he was playing quite well.

From Orlovsky apparently richardson is playing significantly better than what we think!

Pats HC Jerod Mayo tells QB Drake Maye to protect himself. What great advice. I don't think any QB goes out looking to get a concussion.
