00:00The moving day sets in where some of these players move up and down to try to get a chance

00:08to win a golf tournament.

00:09So why are you talking golf right now?

00:10Because it's moving day in Indianapolis.

00:13Moving in is Joe Flacco.

00:14Moving out is Anthony Richardson.

00:16You take a look at that Adam Schefter bombshell yesterday.

00:18The coaches met this morning and made seismic organizational decision to change quarterbacks.

00:23And yes, that means Anthony Richardson, the number three overall pick, no longer the starting

00:27quarterback.

00:28Is it short term?

00:29Is it long term?

00:30Let's start here, Dubsy.

00:32I agree with this decision because in the NFL, it's a week to week league.

00:37If you feel your team has a chance to win and a better chance to win with a different

00:41quarterback and or make the playoffs, you owe it to your locker room to make that change.

00:45Do we think Anthony Richardson is done in the NFL and can't be a quarterback?

00:49Not necessarily, but it's obvious to the point right now.

00:52He's inefficient at the quarterback.

00:54He's not making the plays he needs to make.

00:56And it looks like the Colts could be in a better position with Joe Flacco.

00:59Do you agree with this move?

01:02Absolutely.

01:03Yeah.

01:04And Joe Flacco, he's going to come in ready to rock and roll.

01:06We saw that last season when he took over the duties late.

01:09I think it's unfortunate, but it's a sign of the times that, you know, the only key

01:13metric or stat that matters in the NFL is the win column.

01:17And for the Colts who have put himself, put themselves in a really good position off the

01:21back of some decent play from Anthony Richardson, they've got to be looking around and saying,

01:27Flacco is going to be that guy for us.

01:28Richardson, he's only 22 years of age.

01:30He's put up some decent numbers.

01:32He's certainly a tremendous athlete.

01:34He's made some silly decisions at time.

01:36I don't think it's, uh, it helped you stop from what we saw last week, leaving the game,

01:40putting his hand.

01:41I'm saying I was a little tight on that one coach.

01:43Can I sit out a play and then go back into the mix?

01:46Doesn't really send a great vibe across the locker room, but what has he done on the field

01:51has been decent, I would say at best there.

01:55I think it's tough, Donnie, you know, for a young quarterback, you want to see what

01:58you're working with.

01:59You're trying to take that gamble and saying that maybe we've got the next CJ Stroud or

02:04the next Jordan Love or the next, you know, I guess Bo Nix, I guess has been pretty strong

02:09out the gates here in year one.

02:11It hasn't worked out in favor.

02:13He's shown us ability to rush there, but now put him to the back benches.

02:18The only concern, Donnie, is for me, it really hurts a young quarterback's confidence.

02:22You know, I know we can say, well, he can now learn from Joe Flacco, but maybe that

02:26decision should have made a little earlier in the season, but at least now you know exactly

02:31what you're working with.

02:32You can try and develop Anthony Richardson to come up and be that starting franchise

02:37quarterback going forward, because again, he's so young.

02:40He's only 22 years of age.

02:41He's got all the weapons to make it.

02:43It's just not right now.

02:44Joe Flacco, season pro, I love this for the Colts going against the Vikings coming up.
