Default AR benched - Flacco to start next game

A QB change for the Colts: Indianapolis is benching former first-round pick Anthony Richardson and turning to veteran Joe Flacco, sources tell Jeremy Fowler and me.

Coaches met this morning and made the seismic organizational decision to change QBs.

Two of the top three quarterbacks taken in the 2023 NFL Draft now have been benched this season.

Carolina benched Bryce Young after Week 2, and Indianapolis now has benched Anthony Richardson after Week 8.

What Joe Flacco has done this season when on the field for the Colts:

71/108
716 passing yards
7 TDs
1 INT

He will now get the start on Sunday night vs. the Minnesota Vikings.

Well, not shocked. Mediocrity here we come. I hope they run the fucking ball with JT and not turn Flacco into 40 passes a game QB. As much as AR is a bust, keeping him in only strengthens our draft position.

Big mistake in my opinion. There’s no going back now.

Feels like this has Jim’s fingerprints all over it.

That said, I was surprised by Ryan Kelly’s comments. He tore into AR pretty good. Maybe AR lost the locker room?

I questioned whether he got hurt and didn't want to admit it. Even admitting to being tired post-game could've possibly still been lip service.

But the fact that both Steichen, who never says anything at pressers, and Ryan Kelly both opened up about sitting dude down and ripping his ass... that's proof enough and it's not like they were the only two on the team that had an issue.

I think this was done to save the locker room. The veterans all know that Flacco gives them a better chance to win. I believe they would have kicked the Texan's ass if Flacco played. I feel bad for AR, he's young and has almost no real experience. Maybe sitting him down and letting him figure this out will help him, maybe not. If not, well then we are in QB hell again. We'll probably win 8 or 9 games and our draft position will suck for another QB coming out of college again. It's been damn hard being a Colts fan the past few years, but I'm here for the long haul no matter how painful it gets.

He's a pretty good offensive lineman ...... who should know when to shut his big, fucking mouth.

You're right, he's not Jeff Saturday ...... if he was Jeff Saturday, he wouldn't need to publicly pile on a player who is down.

If you saw the presser, Kelly imo didn't rip into him that badly. He didn't have to, because I'm sure the entire offensive locker room told Steichen what they think.

He’s the longest tenured player on the roster. He’s a captain.

Regardless of what you or I think of him, his voice carries a lot of weight in that locker room. And he wouldn’t just be spouting off what wasnt the opinion of a lot of the players.

Thats why it raised eyebrows.

All that said, I think the move to Flacco is good news for Pittman and especially Downs. I think Downs is one of the top slot receivers in the league and he’s basically useless with AR at quarterback because AR can’t get him the ball consistently.

Look for Downs to break out with Flacco at quarterback.
