They simplified things for Hurts and he excelled… look for the same thing here next season. The offense Steichen runs does the dictating last year that wasn’t the case at all.

That doesn't address the offensive line, which is the most important component with an unproven, rookie quarterback. The offensive line was horrible last year. A unproven, rookie quarterback and an excellent running back won't mitigate a horrible offensive line. Play-calling, rollouts, and creativity go out the door when you have an awful offensive line.
If the Colts address and resolve that offensive line to make it at least serviceable in 2023, then Richardson will at least have a shot at being effective. If they don't, then he won't.
