00:00How about in Indianapolis where Shane Steichen with a veteran
00:07and experienced backup can win you football games and look
00:11magnificent offensively or should they turn back to Anthony
00:15Richardson who was on the field yesterday a full participant on
00:19track to start this week for Indy as the Colts host the Miami
00:24Dolphins the Finns off the by Indianapolis a three point home
00:29favorite inside Lucas oil again Anthony Richardson this year
00:33has started four games four touchdowns to six interceptions
00:36not a good ratio Joe Flacco and his two starts seven touchdowns
00:40to only one single pick leading the Colts to their second win of
00:44the year on the road this week as an underdog this past week in
00:48Nashville against the Titans buy or sell DRS the Colts should
00:52stick with Joe Flacco at quarterback.
00:55I'm selling wide receiver in that room. I'm buying the heck
00:58out of that because I want the guy that's 60 yards down the
01:01field on a rope and hit me wherever I'm at as opposed to a
01:05quarterback where I'm running routes like George Pickens on
01:07the Steelers going like I don't even know I want to run this
01:09route with Justin Fields he's never going to be if I'm wide
01:11open I'm never going to see this football. It is demoralizing
01:14for a wideout. But you have to understand the endgame here. If
01:17you find out that Anthony Richardson is a really good
01:19quarterback or you got it made for a couple of years in the
01:22NFL if you find that he's not that quarterback you can quickly
01:25head back to the draft. The one thing I will say is Shane
01:27Steichen is an amazing football coach. It says a lot about a
01:30coach where if he has a real talented team and can guide him
01:32in the right direction. Yeah look he's you know leader of men
01:35and you can do that but when you have backup quarterbacks
01:37constantly week to week last year and this year and you're
01:41still a competitive football team with all those injuries
01:44that's pretty impressive. He just needs to settle on a
01:46quarterback and find out who that's going to be. Who will win
01:48with either one of them. But the upside is Joe Flacco is not the
01:52quarterback over the next couple of years that's going to take
01:54the Colts and lead them into the Super Bowl. Anthony Richardson
01:57can be that guy with an asterisk right now. I don't think he's
02:00going to be that guy because he can't stay on the field. You
02:01can't even evaluate him. He gets injured way too often for me.
02:05But I always look at Ben the health of the franchise is not
02:08saying hey fans we're going to win extra three games with Joe
02:10Flacco get bounced quickly in the playoffs. The future is we
02:14drafted a quarterback high. We think he can be something. We
02:16owe it to him to get him on the field as soon as possible and
02:19get to evaluate him because let's just say that he plays two
02:21more games and leaves with a fractured shoulder and is out
02:24the rest of the way. Now you're looking for a quarterback
02:26because it's not Anthony Richardson's fault. Some guys
02:29are just injury prone and get injured. He's a giant at
02:32quarterback but his physicality makes him so intriguing. But
02:35that physicality gets him in trouble way too many times with
02:38injuries here. I do think you have to play him if he is
02:41available and healthy. I don't know if it equates to more
02:44victories but the evaluation process must be completed by the
02:47end of this year before you start getting into those extra
02:50years. We've got to pick up the you know fourth and fifth year.
02:53You might have to franchise tag him. You've got to start that
02:55process sooner than later Ben.
