Colts Coach Steichen Weighs Richardson's Status, Mentions Unexpected In-Game Choice

Monday, October 28th, 2024

Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen is contemplating adjustments at the quarterback position, although Anthony Richardson continues as the current starter.

This season, Richardson has faced challenges, evidenced by his 44.4% completion rate. This has led Steichen to assess various options. Nonetheless, Richardson’s choice to take a brief break during Sunday’s game due to fatigue will not impact Steichen’s decision-making process.

During Richardson’s injury absence, backup quarterback Joe Flacco made two starts, ending with one win and one loss, demonstrating potential. Richardson, who showed promise last season, has not been able to meet those expectations this year.

Despite the difficulties Richardson is encountering, Steichen believes that regular playing time is crucial for his development. He also considers the possibility that Richardson could benefit from stepping back to watch and learn.

Richardson enjoys the support of his teammates despite his challenges. They think he is managing the pressure well and feel that they themselves need to enhance their performance to aid his success.
