I think you can just eliminate the word “that.”

I interpret that to mean you're not a big fan of Mr. Richardson

[plasma george]

He better, with Flacco showing once again he's a great passer, and moved that offense up and down the field.

If throwing accurately wasn’t such a critical part of the job description he’d be great.

I remember we use to see this thread about Lamar Jackson.

I think people sometimes blur the line between good QB and good fantasy football QB

Yeah, but the risk is, if he struggles and Colts are losing, I could see HC pulling him for Flacco, What does that do for his FF value ?

He wouldn't be a good fantasy football QB then either.

Like I said, it's a blurry line

[weepaws]

I would trade him , when he returns healthy, he’s going to miss more games due to injury, or the team wanting to win games. 

[weepaws]

I can really use a good game from Downs, but now Richardson is due back, I’m going to see if sell high.

Flacco back in for Week 9...

 

[plasma george]

Guess I'm wearing my black signed Ravens #5 !  Talked to him a few times on NJ beach, he was throwing passes to my then 13yo son, such a nice guy to chat with little ole me.

This was in the offseason after this SB run, he said he has another SB in him, thought it was last year.

[weepaws]

Great move, it’s not often you see a team make this kinda move with a player they over valued.   

[kilroy69]

The colts would have been better off sitting him from the start to allow him to grow and mature behind a good QB. Instead they forced him in there when he was not even a good college qb. If he could have sat from the start like mahomes or love he would have had a much better chance to actually learn how to be a qb instead of a rb with a big arm 

[weepaws]

Would have been better off drafting a Qb that can throw for a higher passing %

Just picked up downs...hoping Flacco can finish the season as the starter

I read that’s the case.

Yep. The terdlet has been benched for the remainder of the season. They need to draft a franchise QB this season or next.

[JagFan]

He’ll be back in once Flacco does what Flacco does.

I am in a 2 QB start with Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Drake Maye and Anthony Richardson. I think, I am going to play the wait and see game; before dropping AR for someone else. Probably, should have dropped WR- Jalen Tolbert for Flacco or Winston on the Browns.

downs is a WR2 with Flacco at QB.  I have shares of him in all my leagues.   very cheap pickup.    Great news if you are a Downs owner.

AR is a hold for sure.   I think at some point they go back to him.  I just dont know if that will be this year or next.    but you know the team wants him to force them to start him so if he shows progress they will for sure give him another chance when it makes sense to do so.
