Unless Richardson somehow pulls a 2015 Cam Newton, and leads the Colts to 7 straight wins to finish the season.

Perhaps a more apt comparison would be when a young rookie by the name of ) Vince Young ) led a Tennessee Titans team to 6 straight wins and turned a disastrous 2-7 season into a team on the verge of a playoff berth with a record of 8-7 heading into the final game of the season.

And right now, we have no idea as to whether or not Anthony Richardson will have a "legendary" career, either ...... but we do know that it is possible for a talented, rookie quarterback to lead a team that had a disastrous start to a season to the brink of a playoff berth.

I'm not asserting that Richardson will do that, but there is a fairly recent precedent of it happening.

How many times was Bert Jones benched before he became the permanent Colts starting QB? Answer: Many.

How many times was Terry Bradshaw benched before he became the Steelers permanent starting QB? Answer: Even more than Jones.

It took PM 9 years to win a Super Bowl. I bitched about him as the entire Colts fan base bitched about him.

How about Jim Plunkett or John Elway. They both won two Super Bowls and had to basically wait their entire careers to do it.

I hate to quote Ballard, but I hate instant coffee!

The Plunkett story, never gets near enough oxygen, just incredible resilience.

Talented? Yes
Quarterback? Yes
Talented Quarterback? Not yet anyway

I want to see more of this man, and see if he can develop into a Talented Quarterback. At 4 and 6, we've no shot for the playoffs without him, maybe, just maybe we can find out if he can be the future or just a physically talented bust.
