Colts fans have gotten a glimpse of the future. Anthony Richardson, with his blend of pocket awareness, arm strength, and athleticism, has shown that he has the tools to be the franchise quarterback the Indianapolis Colts have been seeking since the sudden retirement of Andrew Luck in 2019.
But with the recent news of Richardson’s AC joint injury, that promising future is precariously balanced on a knife’s edge.
It’s undeniable: Richardson’s development benefits enormously from game experience. Every snap taken, every defense read, and every decision made in real-time only hastens his evolution into a legitimate NFL quarterback.
