Welcome back!! If I ran you off like so many others I apologize.
I don't think I can fathom discussing my Colts in an open forum... I typically just vent on Twitter on Sunday's and move on from them mentally as quickly as possible.
Here is where I stand on Anthony Richardson and it really shouldn't be up for debate. All world talent - the sky is literally the limit, huge arm, great speed and athletic ability, needs to improve his accuracy in the pocket a bit, outside the pocket goodness sakes looks great. Now - to the people that want to say the injuries aren't a concern and this is a "freak" injury bla bla bla. I have no idea what that segment of people are talking about. He had a knee injury on one of the first hits he ever took this year, he went on to injury that knee late in the game vs. Jacksonville and was removed from the game (didn't finish), left the next game with a concussion, missed a game because of the concussion, came back and got stepped on by his OLine rolled his ankle and came up lame for a couple plays but carried on without issue and then came the season ending shoulder injury... He's 0-2 as a starter and he's had 4 injuries. So don't tell me injuries'/durability isn't a concern here. It's a major concern especially if he ends up going under the knife to repair his shoulder. I don't think he's the answer at QB because of the injuries and I think Ballard swung and missed - AGAIN! Nobody wants to say that because they want to hold out hope because it's been so mislabel since Luck left - I said it and people can't handle the truth.
On the rest of that roster - Shaq Leonard hasn't been the same for years and he's garbage. Who needs him anyway when you have Franklin who's arguable a top 3 if not the best LB in all of football right now.
Alec Pierce is like a #4 or #5 WR on most teams - that guy shouldn't be your #2 WR. Pittman is a solid #2 WR that does a good job blocking, has been durable and does the little things - I'd probably resign him if I were the Colts. Downs looks to be a guy that could do some things for you - already looking to have a much better future than say Paris Campbell (bust). TE room is pretty solid no complaints with that group. Obviously, looking pretty stout at RB right now with Taylor/Moss combo and I will spare everyone my thoughts on the Taylor contract controversy yesh.
O Line has some depth and playing better than last year.
DB's they've got some talent but just really young and making a lot of mistakes - can't trust them.
D Line is meh... Ballard still can't find a constant pass rush threat. Kwity Paye is overrated as hell - guy hasn't proved anything to me yet. Hopefully, they can get him cheap - otherwise I'd probably let him walk and talk my chances.
That's all I got other than the job Chris Ballard infuriates me...
