The Colts have not had the finest season thus far, and Anthony Richardson looks to be the main culprit for this. The rookie quarterback is being held accountable for the Colts’ performance because of his lackluster play thus far. Usually, it was the fans who laid the blame on him, but it appears that prominent figures like Dave Portnoy share the same view.

The businessman was at Barstool Sports, where he discussed the Colts. Portnoy opined, “I think Anthony Richardson stinks” and he emphasized he is the only issue with the team. He thought the young quarterback needed to improve his talents significantly, since he was not good enough. He also asserted that Richardson ought to be the backup quarterback and that the Colts ought to have selected a different quarterback at the NFL draft. These are pretty hurtful remarks for the whole team, who are now psychologically getting ready for the Steelers game.

But why is Anthony Richardson receiving so much backlash following the team’s defeat? To help with this blurry image, let’s look at his performance figures for this year. Richardson hasn’t been able to pass the ball very well thus far. He is not trying for an accurate throw, which is crucial for a quarterback. In case you’re unaware, out of 73 passes that he tried, only 36 were successfully completed. This is a quite dismal success rate with less than 50% passes completed.

As a result of this, the young quarterback is considering finding a new way to support the team. But how?

Anthony Richardson wants to contribute to the team’s success.

The quarterback just realized that his throwing game has not been particularly strong following the third game. If you’re not aware, the rookie even revealed his plans for the future on the team’s official website. Richardson asserted that he is looking for ways to contribute to the team going forward because he wants to be helpful. He declared that his goal is to become a quarterback who will be able to support his team in any situation.

Anthony Richardson claimed, “You’ve got to find a way to do something to help the team if you’re not going to pass the ball correctly. I was just trying to find a way just to help the squad.” This implies that a new Richardson with some fresh strategies may appear in today’s match. What will happen in the gridiron is only going to be revealed in the game.

What do you think of Dave Portnoy’s remarks? Do you believe he is correct?
