A few things I think

[Colts And Orioles]

Thanks, and that is what I was going to say. That is why I included other QB's in my post, and gave my projected win total for each of them (13 for Manning, 12 for Patrick Mahomes, 11 for Josh Allen, and 10 for a very good-but-not-great quarterback.)

Also, Richardson was not the only culprit that was being compared to Manning and/or other top QB's regarding the Colts' 2024 season ...... Joe Flacco was absolutely horrible in the Colts' back-to-back losses to the Vikings and the Bills when Richardson was benched mid-season. And in spite of Flacco and the offense being horrid in both of those contests, they were both close games ...... the Bills game was very close early in the 4th quarter (20-13.) The Bills put the game out of reach with a TD with just over 3 minutes left to play. The Colts added a cosmetic TD to make the final score 30-20.
