00:00
Because if you pull up the Indianapolis Colts box score a 2417 victory against the Chicago
00:05
Bears, the name Anthony Richardson doesn't show up.
00:11
I'll leave it to you, open your takeaway from Indianapolis not playing Anthony Richardson
00:17
here in preseason week two.
00:20
The interesting part about it was is he was named the starters like, okay, we're going
00:24
to put things into mold where shut down the quarterback competition.
00:28
He's going to be our guy, which would mean in game number two, I'm not saying Kevin,
00:32
he's going to play a whole half and then shut it down.
00:34
But the whole process of getting a starting quarterback ready for regular season, which
00:38
includes even veterans like an Aaron Rodgers, it's got to get out there.
00:41
Once he's a starter, the team wants to see him out there.
00:44
You want to command the huddle as a starter.
00:46
That's a big week for Anthony Richardson, right?
00:47
It's like, Hey, look, I'm named the starter.
00:49
Maybe I have a little bit more of a chip on my shoulder, maybe a little bit more swag.
00:52
Let me lead these guys in the battle.
00:53
Even if Kevin, it was one series and he handed off three straight times.
00:57
It was very interesting that he didn't play.
00:59
Quite frankly, I wasn't watching this game live.
01:01
It was like waking up in the morning going, Oh, I wonder how that game went.
01:04
It's like, Oh, 24, 17.
01:05
Okay.
01:06
Wait a second here.
01:07
Something's not right because is the thought process here for the Colts to go from game
01:12
two to three and say, okay, he didn't start game two, but he's going to start game three.
01:17
And what happens if he starts Kevin game three and doesn't play that well over the first
01:20
three series like this, it's really baffling where you're sort of messing with a plug young
01:24
players mind, because again, as I like to point out, I don't think this is the way it
01:28
was supposed to go where everybody in the room was surprised because I'd like to say
01:32
Jim or say knocked on the door of Shane Stike and say, Oh, by the way, Anthony Richardson,
01:35
your starting quarterback, I'm headed down to South Florida to pick up this whale.
01:38
You know what I mean?
01:39
That's the joke on the street here with the Colts.
01:40
But at the same time, I don't know where we go from here.
01:43
And also Kevin, look at the box score there.
01:46
Gordon Minshew is a problem and also should be your solution at the same time.
01:50
He's a capable NFL quarterback.
01:52
Is he going to lead the Colts to a nine and you know, a eight record and maybe a wild
01:56
card breath?
01:57
No, he's not going to do that.
01:58
I don't think the talent is there, but you see that 13 to 15, a touchdown, no interceptions,
02:01
a passer rating of one 18.
02:03
He should be your starting quarterback with Anthony Richardson, spelling him multiple
02:06
times in a game with packages.
02:08
That makes sense.
02:09
I'm very interested to see how they play in game three, because quite frankly, Kevin,
02:13
if Richardson doesn't get any snaps in game three and they tell us like, Oh, well, he
02:17
got good snaps against the Eagles in practice this week.
02:19
I don't know what to think.
