Matt Waldman advocates for Anthony Richardson to become the Colts' starter, arguing the team should have developed him more rather than rushing him into play. Waldman notes the defense wanted Richardson as their starting quarterback and cites the developmental philosophy that sometimes quarterbacks need to play through inexperience to build confidence, similar to Deshaun Watson's trajectory.PositiveRoleOct 22, 2026
Richardson has fundamental performance issues that predate his Achilles injury; cannot read cover six, struggles with zone coverages in the middle of the field, lacks ability to create outside structure, and gets pocket blind. Teams have figured out the offensive scheme, creating significant concerns about his viability even post-recovery. However, Brandon Angelo positions him as a potential Eagles trade target and preferred QB option over Daniel Jones, emphasizing that Indianapolis rushed him off the field prematurely due to image concerns rather than performance. His early mistakes (big plays and big mistakes in first 2.5 years) are comparable to Brock Purdy's early career trajectory. Richardson's athleticism is noted as 99th percentile, and he is advocated as a better long-term investment than pursuing top-tier 2027 QB prospects if the Eagles cannot secure a top draft pick.
