Anthony Richardson, just checking in on the injury situation with him, uh, as people know, he’s been getting like a second opinion on his shoulder, uh, which is the same shoulder that he hurt as a rookie.

This sounds like old Cam Newton, like everything that we’re hearing with Anthony Richardson makes that makes me uncomfortable.

Uh, according to the athletics James Boyd, uh, he believes that Daniel Jones has already taken a significant lead in the Colts quarterback competition.

Um, it does feel like Charles, that we’re all calibrating to Daniel Jones is gonna start week one and probably the most of this season.

Do you think we see Anthony Richardson start more than, I’ll say 4 games this season?

Yeah, cause I’ve seen Daylyn Jones played football before.

Yeah, it’s like I’ve also seen Anthony Richardson play football though, so right, so this is, you know, I recorded that show, Bomani last week we’re talking about the Browns quarterback room, he’s like, this is one of those rooms where maybe everyone plays, and that could be.

case for, uh, for Indianapolis too.

I mean, I was living with the, uh, the Anthony Richardson stuff for, for a really long time, but, uh, I think the injuries are piling up just a little bit too inconsistent.

So, and it seems like the Colts are, are just about ready to move on and maybe happen, ready to move on for uh for a little bit.

It’s uh it’s unfortunate because you always want the video game characters to kind of figure it out, but, uh, if, if, if what James report is true, and I have no reason to doubt that he’s a really, really good reporter plugged in with the Colts, uh.

This Anthony Richardson experiment might be over in Indy.

I’d probably be trying to trade for him, like if I was like the Rams or something, little day 3 pick just for a flyer, but I, I, it seems like they’re ready to move on and potentially drafting the quarterback next summer.

Daniel Jones is about to take Anthy Richardson’s job and, and, and Anthony Richard should just go and take Daniel Jones’s little like quarterback rehab spot that he had on the Vikings roster last year.

So, um, I’m not saying that JJ McCarthy is gonna lose the job to Anthony Richardson, but Like we know O’Connell wants to build up these like quarterback reclamation projects.

He seems to have an affinity for Anthony Richardson.

Like, let’s just go ahead and and make that happen because I do think that, uh, Daniel Jones, I think, I think he’s lost a lot of whatever juice he had on his arm, he’s he’s lost a lot of it.

Like, I think they’re going to have to do a lot of the Gardner Minho sort of like quick RPO hitting stuff, uh, with, with Daniel Jones on our center, which I do think can maybe get them to like A functional offense with the weapon so bad to watch for.

I know it’s, you know, it’s, it’s not fun, bro.

It is not fun to watch, but at least, at least the, the some of these guys will, will get catches.
