Anthony Richardson has injured his shoulder and is done for the season. Richardson's rookie year was a short spectacular roller coaster ride. His first game of the season against a divisional rival and playoff caliber opponent Jacksonville Jaguars Anthony Richardson played well. Richardson was 24-37 for 223 yards, 1 TD and 1 pick. He picked up 40 yards on the ground but was injured late in the fourth quarter. After the game Trevor Lawrence went up to AR15 and said "Make sure you get down". At 6'4 245 pounds and a freak athlete you would think Anthony Richardson would be able to handle the physicality of the NFL, but this isn't the SEC. The NFL is filled with a lot of grown men who are physical and big like Anthony who can knock you out of the game at any moment. Hopefully with a year to sit and watch film Anthony will learn how important he is to the Colts Franchise and slide as much as possible.
What I have seen from Anthony Richardson this year is the second best QB in the 2023 NFL Draft Class. CJ Stroud has clearly been the best, but Anthony has been better than the number 1 pick in the draft Bryce Young and nobody expected that. When Richardson decided to declare for the draft many experts were puzzled because of his lack of experience and production. With one full season of starting in college Richardson failed to throw over 3k yards and 20 TD passes but was still taken 4th by the Colts who needed a QB. He impressed scouts at his pro day and at the combine. He ran a 4.43 which is extremely fast for a QB especially for a QB his size. Jim Irsay was convinced he found his QB and under the study of elite play caller and famous QB developer Shane Steichen Richardson had Colts fans thinking sky is the limit. The sky may still be the limit, but the flight will be delayed. We've seen glimpses of greatness from Richardson in Week 3 of the NFL season Anthony almost pulled off a 20 point comeback win against the Rams throwing for 2 TDs, running for 1 TD and no picks. Next season look for Anthony Richardson to come back healthy, smarter, stronger and ready to Dominate the League!
