That is the stat of the week for you. Now this is not a fact to extrapolate and say that Richardson is going to be better than Manning and Luck, we don’t know that yet, but comparing the three and taking into account the number of college starts each of them had before making their NFL debut (Manning had 45 college starts at Tennessee, Luck had 38 at Stanford, Richardson had just 13 at Florida) AR5 gave us Colts’ fans plenty of reasons to be optimistic for the future.
