So, I really hope that the Colts ARE NOT done with Anthony Richardson in Indianapolis ...... my hopes of Daniel Jones becoming the next Jim Plunkett is a pipe-dream, and very much a long-shot. I'd rather go with Richardson, and see if he can evolve into at least a very solid QB over the next 3 to 4 years.

You and I are in complete agreement on this topic. Given 100 chances, right now, I am taking AR 100 vs 0 to DJ. That said, the Colts have for their own reasons- most of which I believe to be very myopic and centered around neither Steichen or Ballard probably being given a sniff by anyone else for their legitimately "best jobs in the world" positions (because they both SUCK), are going the opposite direction.
In that case, they have decided he is not good enough to be the starter for this team. That says he must not be good enough to be the starter for the other teams in the league either in their view. So get rid of him now. 1-3 days of intense media noise, and then it's over. He is very likely a backup on whatever team he lands and only gets in with an injury / really shitty QB play and comes in very very cold for whoever it is, meaning he will likely not excel in the new spot, at least not this year.
To me, if you've decided the time to move on from him is now, then it is time from this point forward until eternity. To me, EVERYONE has fucked this thing up. So divorce, be done with it, swap the titles and fucking just move on.
