00:00The Colts are benching Richardson, and I got to tell you, Mike, I'm not surprised at all

00:10because I don't know how many times I've told you I think that Flacco is better.

00:15Look, all you have to do is look at the difference in the Colts this year, just this year in

00:21the small sample size when Flacco has been in when Richardson was injured, that they

00:26were better when he was in there.

00:28There's just no way to look at the offense moved more.

00:30They scored more points.

00:31They did.

00:32I mean, the proof is in the pudding.

00:34And we talked about this yesterday when we were, you know, talk about the Colts Texans

00:38game from Sunday.

00:41Richardson made so many mistakes on Sunday, whether it was turnovers.

00:45I mean, he was 10 for 10 for 32 or something like that.

00:48I mean, you just can't you can't have double amount of incompletions as you had completions.

00:54That just doesn't work in today's NFL.

00:58So the Colts will make that move.

00:59Now, here was Steichen yesterday.

01:01I told you, it sounded like he was thinking about doing this.

01:04And there was a lot of things he was asked about Richardson taking himself out of the

01:08game, if that was a factor into it.

01:11But all in all, it sounded like Steichen was leaning towards making this move.

01:14So you say you're going to evaluate everything.

01:17Did the one that the self tap out thing, did that factor into this at all?

01:22No, it didn't.

01:23OK, just to make sure.

01:24And secondly, just to get it on the record, I guess.

01:27So you're saying is Anthony, you're starting quarterback right now or not?

01:32Right now, today is, yes.

01:34Just you don't know for the upcoming game if he's or we're evaluating.

01:38Well, there you go.

01:42Evaluate this.

01:43Richardson stinks and Flacco makes plays and throws passes and connects.

01:48The way I saw him connect with Pierce was unbelievable in a couple of games.

01:53I thought he should have won the Jaguar game.

01:55They blew that.

01:56They came back from two tighties down late to tie it, and then they lose on a last second

02:01field goal.

02:02He's just flat out better.

02:03I mean, what he did for the Browns last year is, you know, all the proof you need.

02:09What he did in Baltimore, he won a Super Bowl.

02:13So, you know, it's amazing to me that that guy has become from a Super Bowl champion

02:19to basically a pedestrian traveling salesman backup.

02:25Like he, you know, he moves around like he's a salesman.

02:28I honestly don't understand it at all because I think he's got great acumen and quarterback

02:34smarts.
