Pat is not happy!!
What happened in that game simply cannot be chalked up to mere incompetence.

Colts offense is right there with the Dolphins and 49ers. Even with the mess at qb. Lifetime contract for Steichen.
For that? I sure as heck hope not…

Really going all-in on the tank, aren't they?
Sure. He could be the next Gardner Minshew: a solid backup. (And maybe he proves me wrong, and develops into a starting-caliber QB? I just don't see it.)I’m not a Levis hater by any means. I just never saw anything to make me think he could be a franchise guy for a decade. I can see him having a nice long career as a solid backup. Nothing wrong with that life.
I wonder if the Colts would have went with C.J. over AR, had we picked ahead of Texans. C.J. looks to be the real deal and can obviously read and react to a defense. That's funny because the pre-draft rumor was that C.J. would struggle to read a book.
This is true with most quarterbacks, to some degree. I'm certain he can "rotate the spheroid" as Jaworski put it. But his test results on his cognition test made him look to be borderline illiterate. There's some debate as to the accuracy of the reporting, but if he truly scored an 18 on the test, yikes. I'm just curious if the Colts might have gone with CJ. Obviously, hindsight is 20/20. And I'm certifiably unqualified to judge talent. While CJ looks like he will be special there may be glaring weakness in his game I don't recognize.His concerns were that he struggles off-script and under pressure. He doesn’t have elite athleticism either. If he doesn’t have a good system and a clean pocket, he’ll struggle.

The perception of him not being able to read and react to defenses may be coming from his S2 score.That wasn’t his pre-draft rumor at all
His evaluation was that he is excellent at reading defenses and a very accurate passer.

As to my overall point, I think the Colts would have stuck with AR due to the hiring of Steichen and his desired QB type. I'm bummed for AR to have ended his season with an injury to his throwing shoulder. This could change his career arc dramatically. I'll be interested when the team will put out an anticipated 'cleared to play' date. I haven't heard anything of the time frame as yet.
I should add an asterisk on this…
I like Richardson more than Levis, but if Stroud is there at 4, I’d take Stroud over Richardson.
