AR to miss minicamp with injury to AC Joint in Throwing Shoulder

[YDFL Commish]

I like listening to PFT, with Mike Florio and Chris Simms. SImms is one the best analysts and talent evaluators out there when it comes to offensive skill position players.

Simms believes that AR will always have shoulder troubles, because his throwing motion is so violent and AR only relies on his arm and doesn't use his whole body to create the torque in his throws. I believe this to be true, because all of the best throwers of the football, who listed a long time would use their entire body to make the majority of throws.

As I have said before, move the kid to TE, and see if he really wants it.

Simms, being a former QB himself, may have a point. And if that's the case, I would hope that the Colts' coaching staff notices what Simms does, and tries to (at least slightly) adjust his throwing motion.

Wasn’t that the point of going to work with Josh Allen’s trainer?

If Derrick Henry can throw a TD pass out of the RB position, just think what AR could do as a wildcat type player.

AR is not durable enough to run the football in the nfl, if he runs 5 times he gets hurt. It is unfair, his greatest gift as a QB is his running threat, but he is not durable enough to use it! I predict Jones does well enough that he is the starting QB all season, and they may try to use AR in a wildcat but if they do, he won't last 1/2 the season!

I am not being all negative, I think Daniel Jones is going to surprise some people and be very good for the Colts!

The small amount of film I have seen on Daniels in mini camp so far, he is threading the needle and hitting some dimes in stride. If he does that in camp and preseason he will be the starter and the argument is over.

I do not care which of them wins this competition, as long as the winner is effective in this offense. Get us to the division champion where we belong.

No argument here. I don't care who is starting as long as they are doing what it takes to win the division. Still doesn't make me less salty for wasting a top 5 pick on someone who's film showed we got exactly what the film said he was, inconsistent. I was on record not wanting any of them. Could have spent that pick on D and embrace the suck until a legit QB came out.

From your mouth to whatever particular God's ear.

Correct. That's the only reason that you would do it. I'm not suggesting that AR will become a 20 snap per game TE. You use him as a gadget guy, who plays maybe 3 to 5 snaps a game.

Can you imagine a backfield of Jones, AR and Warren? Which one is throwing the football, which one is running the football. They all can do all three well enough to have the defense on its heels and in a quandary.
