Colts making a mistake starting rookie QB Anthony Richardson? | NFL | SPEAK 

Check Out Flippin’ Bats: foxs.pt/flipbats

Joy, you keep preaching girl! Your spot on with all of us Colts fan feel. Shady you make some valid points as well, but like you said times a changing and we believe in Shane's ability to coach up Richardson. JOY SAID IT BEST. YOU ONLY GOUNG TO GET BETTER WITH ACTUAL REPS!!!

So we are all just going to forget Andrew luck took them to the play offs his rookie year

Josh Allen became QB1 in the 3rd quarter of game ONE! 2 Quarters, Peterman got benched and Allen took over. And the situation that Allen was drafted to was horrendous. Burrow very similarly was drafted to a bad team and had to take his lump’s early and often There’s no one fool proof way to develop a QB and some guys have an easier road than others ( Mahomes, Jackson)

He actually threw some good passes that were dropped by his receivers

He needs experience, and he can’t get that on the bench. Joy is spot on.

Excellent take from Joy.

Dude used Trey lance as an example/reason to sit someone😂😂

I agree with Joy 1000% ; you can't learn to ride a bike by watching a video; the best way to learn how to handle pressure is by being pressure tested...💯

Justin Herbert got Rookie of the year from Shane Steichen

Joy should have her own show.

“We just talked about Trey Lance, it’s the same situation” As Trey currently strugglin to win the back up job 😭

Joy is spot on and it’s hilarious how she schools these clowns haha.

He should start for three reasons 1. He was drafted 4th overall 2. He’s the top Quarterback on his team and 3. He gives them the best chance to win.

Joy Taylor is SO DOPE! I love her passion and conviction on this show!!! 🤣🙌

You can affect his confidence by not starting him also

Joy was on fire and on point with this assessment. She was dropping wisdom that we all should keep. If you hire someone and they are your top pick, get them in the fire and let them learn. If not, you are just wasting money.

The Colts are at re-building stage 1: new HC, new QB, young WRs... Starting A-Rich is of course the right thing to do, since he has NO ONE to learn from, but Steichen and hundreds of hours of tapes. Let him learn by doing, as much as quickly as possible. Let them all grow together into true contenders over 2 or 3 seasons. The challenge will be to overcome any lapse in confidence, if any, because A-Rich seems to be mentally pretty strong and well grounded.

As a Colts fan I gotta agree with Joy here, I wanna see what we potentially have for the future and what potential AR could have, not gonna get better sitting behind Minshew. Let him develop with the rest of our young skill players on offense, and then evaluate him after 2-3 years if he’s worth the 5th year extension, and if not well so be it. But at least you found out

It’s a difference when you have a young quarterback that has two to three years of college film on them so you can sit them for majority of the season. But, when you have a raw quarterback like Anthony Richardson you have to play him so he can get game reps because he’s only had 12+ games of film on him in college.

Trey Lance is the shining example of exactly why AR SHOULD be starting. Trey holding a clipboard hasn't worked out at all!!! AR needs to play.

JOY again with another W take , she schools these clowns everytime

Joy is leaps and bounds ahead of these guys with her takes

Great takes from Joy and Shady

Note to Joy Taylor: In 1999, #2 overall draft pick Donovan McNabb sat about 9-10 games behind a mediocre QB named Doug Pederson in Philadelphia because there were also questions about his NFL readiness. It's not gonna hurt Richardson to sit a while, even half a season, behind Minshew, who has started a lot of games in the NFL, until he watches more film and gets his mind prepared. The "throwing him into the fire" philosophy isn't always right, especially with QBs.

Crazy how it's ALWAYS Joy that makes the most sense... SMH 💯

If you lose confidence because of poor performance, you ain't that dude anyway. As a Colts fan I very vividly remember Peyton Manning setting the all time interception record for rookies, that did nothing to his confidence, because he is who he is. The greats don't lose confidence. Acho should be ashamed of this segment. Joy schooled all of them.

The media is the real problem. Y’all give these dudes no slack in their rookie year. You fans are also a problem. You don’t even care if they show flashes. If they aren’t on Burrows level that first year then you’re demanding for them to be traded.

I'm pulling for bruh I hope he succeed cause I already see the media members who hating on him

nobody believed in Lamar til he had to get right in the fire (when flacco went down). it wasnt pretty but he got them to the playoffs. look at where hes at right now.

Great take, Joy!! I'm a Colts fan, and I hope for a 500 season. Just give us a better season than last year. Also, show you are learning from your mistakes. I know I'll get some haters for this. I'm glad we got AR, and congrats to him for QB1 he will struggle, but hopefully, he will learn and grow.

joy's hair is amazing, and then she cooked this whole panel with that fire take 🔥

Shane Steichen will help Richardson grow and learn, just like he did it with Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts. 🦅🦅🦅

Dan Marino and Payton Manning both started as rookie. Of course Manning was a starter his whole college career. Anthony aint a Manning though

I understand what Acho and Bucky are trying to say, but I'm in complete agreement with Joy and Shady. They should start him. With a team this young and inexperienced, why not have that team gel around their 1st Round 4th overall pick. I understand you want to try to protect your guy, but at the same time experience is the best teacher. Yes wise men learn from others mistakes, but no man is perfect. Let this man grow. Let him develop his relationships. I think Kenny Pickett last year exemplifies both sides of this argument. 1st round pick, sat behind someone who shouldnt have been starting, and we watched his development through the rest of the year into the unquestioned starter of his team. But it was bad for his first few starts. But then he got it clicking. The experience from being thrown in gave him the ability to start really developing. Trey Lance was also a top 1st round pick, got protected and now they dont even want his hands on the ball and they barely had him on the field. His confidence isnt great right now, and hes been doijg nothing but sitting. Anthony Richardson seems like the perfect candidate to let him in, get reps, lead the team and see what he is. He's a raw but teachable player. I think starting is the best way to bring him in.

He looked like a rookie. And nothing wrong with that. Only thing he needs is time in the fire. He’ll be fine

you know what the problem is? We got to a point in football that the media and every fan wants everything handed to them right away THAT'S THE PROBLEM! Joi speaking absolute FACTS!!!

Joy is 100% right. Richardson was the 4th pick that in and of itself is something he can lean on. But Richardson has nobody he can learn from by sitting on the bench. The best thing they can do is start him. Having a new Head Coach who selected his QB means that this team is going to develop as fast as that QB/HC bond develops. Richardson has a lot of upside and i do believe a Jalen Hurts route is best for him but there is nobody there for him to be able to take that route. Im sure him and the HC both know its going to be a hard season with a lot of L's, they just need to power through it and see what happens. Its not a difficult division. Im not sold on Jacksonville, I dont see a scenario where my boy Hopkins makes the Titans a competitor Will Levis who i believe has the potential to be great wont be starting this year, and Houston will be one of the most improved teams in the league but by no means is able to compete for a Super Bowl. Richardson has a lot to prove and gain but i dont think starting this year will hurt him. It just comes down to how much can he learn and improve for his eventual second year.

AR is good for the game of football. He needs to play for that reason alone. But also He needs to play because he needs reps, he needs time to get acclimated to the speed of the game. He's only started 14 games his entire career, but even with that said he's done things running and throwing I've seen few people do. Get him a weapon and a Oline. If and when the game slows down for him its gonna be scary.

I’m with Joy. You get better at football by playing football!

Peyton Manning started, failed miserably, but didn’t let it define him

"Who is he supposed to lean on? Nobody on that team is ready." How about they all grow together. They have no one to lean on, they'll learn to lean on each other. Facing adversity together builds solidarity.

Thank you Acho for being the ONLY analyst in the last 7 years. To bring this point up that young quarterbacks need to sit and learn the game first before just throwing them out there as starting quarterbacks

This man Acho really just said "I believe a fool learns from his mistakes a wise man learns from the mistakes of others." Unbelievable, the things this man says...😂smh

Joy was on point and another thing, the type of talent physically he brings to the table as quarterback is unmatched from any other quarterback on any NFL team. Obviously the playbook would shift to cater to his strengths and weaknesses when he’s on the field. So he couldn’t learn to much from another quarterback on that roster because the play calling should/would be way diff given certain plays. This goes for the 3rd and 3’s and the 2nd and 10. His scrambling ability maybe could pick you up 7 or 8 yards on second opposed to a medium route combination play that could end up as a sack or fumble with a less mobile qb

Problem that Joy not seeing is Anthony Richardson wasnt great in college, he's a player who needs to sit & learn you dont want to feed him to the wolves right away & ruin him

Joy really on point all the guys who waited had talent in front of them let’s be real

Joy need her own show or be lead moderator cuz she’s very knowledgeable and on point most of time 💯

This lady knows her stuff!

I agree with Joy 100% How does someone thinking you're not good enough help your confidence

This was exhausting. Joy's the only one who gets it. There's only two questions to ask: Is the moment too big for him where he looks overwhelmed? And is he mentally strong enough to withstand early struggles? He looked fine, as far as being ready for the moment, and Indy's been gauging the mental fortitude the entire draft and offseason process. If he checks off those boxes, put him on the field and let him learn. It's not like Indy's going anywhere this year anyway. He needs snaps, and that includes taking every QB1 rep in practice, which he can now do.

I think the right answer is in the middle , 2 weeks- 4 weeks to sit, learn how to move, break down tape, self scout, learn the ropes, road and travel schedule etc. then unleash him.

Joy educating these dudes.

Justin Herbert started after the 1st game wtf is acho on!!!!!!!?????

I love joy she's straight spiting facts

At least he's got that 4.4 speed and the coach that helped Hurts have his breakout year. Time to get to work why put it off??

The more reps he get the better he will be. He has great potential, he just needs the experience.

I’m with Joy on this one. She just took took these boys to school. Yes I’m a Colts fan. But I don’t know what these guys saw in Richardson that makes them think he’s not good enough to start. I think he played best out of all the rookie quarterbacks in the preseason game.

Joy Taylor has some great outlook on things I love her takes

If you ask me she shines on every show she's ever been on. The Herd was one of my favorite shows. Definitely she's probably best female analyst in the game

Yeah I'd trust Shane Steichen's judgement over all of these talking heads

Prior to the 1978 NFL Draft, some NFL scouts suggested that since University of Washington quarterback Warren Moon had played in a rollout rather than a drop-back passing offense, he would be a mid-round pick. Others speculated that since only one African American quarterback, James Harris, had achieved any measurable success in the NFL, Moon would have to play some other position. Regardless of which misguided reason motivated NFL scouts, Moon remained confident of his abilities and opted to sign with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League. He went on to lead the Eskimos to an unprecedented five consecutive Grey Cup victories. Eventually, Moon returned to the United States to play for the Houston Oilers in 1984. He racked up nearly 50,000 passing yards in 17 NFL seasons. Moon set a new club record with 3,338 yards passing in his first year with the Houston, a mark he would break four more times. In 1986, when the Oilers installed the run-and-shoot offense, Moon's quarterback skills finally became apparent to all. The wide-open offense showcased Moon's strong arm, running skills, and big-play ability. In 1990, Moon led the league with 4,689 passing yards. He also led the league in attempts (584), completions (362), and touchdowns (33), and tied Dan Marino's record with nine 300-yard games in a season. The following year, he again led the league in passing yards 4,690. At the same time, he joined Hall of Fame quarterbacks Dan Marino and Dan Fouts as the only quarterbacks to post back-to-back 4,000-yard seasons. Moon also established new NFL records that season with 655 attempts and 404 completions. Moon was traded to the Minnesota Vikings before the 1994 season. In his debut season he passed for 4,264 yards and led the team to the playoffs. In his second season in Minnesota, he again passed for more than 4,200 yards. Moon moved on to the Seattle Seahawks as a free agent in 1997 where the veteran star set franchise records for completions (313) and yards passing (3,678) and earned his ninth Pro Bowl selection. Injuries limited his play in 1998. In 1999, Moon joined the Kansas City Chiefs and spent two seasons as a backup there before retiring. Despite spending his first six professional seasons in the CFL, Moon ranked third all-time in NFL passing yardage and fourth in touchdown passes thrown at the time of his retirement. There has been a lot of great QB's not given a chance right away cause they didnt fit the normal mold. You have plenty of good QB's start right away and has done good in a year or two. Quit reading a script and speak your own minds you guys have been there and lived it.

Joy is Queen. That is all.

Andrew luck started as a rookie and was a beast

I only heard half of Joy’s take and I agree he got to play it’s the same thing with Trey Lance he already didn’t play much in college he has to play especially since they picked him 4th overall

Joy lost me when she started bringing up stafford 🤣. And she talking about if he fails so what lol Rosen had a bad year instantly replaced, Willis some bad games now he’s 3rd on depth chart like what

Every QB talked about had good situations in front of them. Plus how do you forget Peyton Manning? 3-13 and still leads all rookies in ints.

I always thought that it was stupid to draft a quarterback that high and sit him. There are outlier situations like Aaron Rodgers sitting behind Brett Favre or Patrick Mahomes sitting behind Alex Smith. I hate the argument "You don't want to crush his confidence." If a rookie quarterback's confidence gets crushed after a bad rookie year, he never had what it took anyway. As a business owner I rather find that out sooner than later.

Joy was absolutely correct in her take, one QB they didn’t bring up was Andrew Luck

Matt Ryan, RG3, Dak, Russell Wilson, Justin Herbert, all recent rookie starters who had good seasons, he doesn’t have to be nearly as good as any of them, he just needs to get better everyday and continue to develop, and he’s simply not going to do that behind Sam Ehlinger or Gardner Minshew. He’s far more talented than both of them and you can’t learn game speed by watching other people play, he has already got a pretty good mental processor and got a lot better at it every week at Florida. You just gotta have faith in the 4th overall pick to blossom into what you know he can be

You need experience to be good at almost anything in life. There’s nothing wrong with starting him this year. He has no pressure. The Colts “aren’t expected to do anything this year or for years to come” by everyone. He doesn’t have pressure on him, let him get experience and grow and learn.

Nothing is better than physically learning in football, Acho takes always cheeks.

Colts last two rookie qbs: Luck started right away. Manning started right away. Worked pretty well for them

Shady and joy 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

One preseason game and he talking like he supposed to go out and win a Super Bowl before the season starts

Manning started year 1 and had a terrible season.... Then he came back year two

Joy cooked Acho on this 😂

“He’s the fourth overall pick” Tell me Joy, how’s that third overall pick on the 49ers doing? You think where he was drafted matters to his confidence? Pick order don’t mean squat. It’s just GMs making best guesses.

This is the same team that made Jeff Saturday its head coach.

She acting like when you sit behind a starter all you do is watch. No film, no practice, no weight training, no diet, just watch. Lol😂.

I disagree with Joy on this.......there have been more successful QB's who sat and observe the experience QB on a team play games in real time...and it also protects your new drafted QB from injuries!!!! One real and current example is Zak Wilson!!!

Lamar had an old Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco 6 years later and still playing 😂

Joy be having a little too much attitude and don't even be right

It depends on the qb,some need to learn while sitting,some dont😅

David Carr is the perfect example. Got destroyed by his O line and his confidence was never the same. A lot of things can happen in one year and the QB is the most important position.

As a colts fan Joy is spot on with EVERY THING SHE STATED IN SEGMENT! Let him play!

I'm with Joy on this one. You're gonna learn by doing. There's always gonna be a learning curve whether he starts week 1 or week 18.

Rooting for AR, but I don't see why he was named the starter after his 1st preseason game. It wasn't a great performance. I like what Shady said about Andy Reid's approach. Let a young qb develop and learn the off field aspects first then let him ease on the field.

He looked better than the 2 QBs drafted ahead of him

I'm not convinced he can do the routine stuff all NFL QBs have to do. We know he'll do the spectacular from time to time but 5-21 ain't gonna cut it.

Joy’s take is excellent on this one. Acho really just be talking to talk sometimes. Guys like Peyton, Burrow, Cam, Luck & I can go on started week 1 & some of them took their lumps but they ended up just fine. U gotta actually play to learn. Even Peyton said that. U not gonna understand the speed of the game not getting reps on the field

Oh lawd…it’s not fair. She is destroying them with her take and looks so good while she does it…lol.

Man JOI NEVER MISS!! she always the most logical speaker and it always seems to sound like she played more football with the most experienced of them all... Shout Out To Joi!!!

Colts have nothing to lose by starting AR, especially this year where its more of a development year and see where they are at. AR also has elite pocket presence which you can't teach. He will be okay

Joy Taylor continues to annihilate the guys in the topics. She's amazing. Give her her own show. Too good for this

Joi Taylor is completely wrong. The investment in AR5 is for more than 1 season. Let the man sit and learn for atleast half the season preferably the whole season. He only has 1 year of college as a starter, 1 year as a starter in high school, this is ridiculous that they’re throwing him to the wolves. It would be different if they were a qb away meaning they have talent in key spots on offense but the don’t. Awful take by Joi Taylor

Joy is schooling former nfl players 😂 love it

Get them joy. You dont sit a running Qb to develope his athletic skills to diminish.

I get it Joy, set the dude up for failure then call him a bust when they fail.

Quentin Nelson doesn't exist in their timeline? What's happening? They're forgetting him on purpose?
