Maybe Jones will prove me wrong. God I'm hoping he does, I want something to root for this year. But the Colts don't feel special enough to do a lot with just mediocre QB play, and it's hard to envision Jones being better than that. Hell, he got benched for Tommy DeVito in his career.

Richardson may give you horrible QB play. In fact, the odds are he probably will. But I'd rather roll the dice on the off chance you hit snakeyes and he goes out there and throws 60 yard bombs to players or runs for 200 yards a game.

The bad part about Richardson is that the style he is best suited to play is the style his brittle body will not allow him to play.

Sure, he makes amazing plays now and then but he will INEVITABLY end up getting hurt. It’s impossible to build any sort of continuity with him at quarterback.

It’s a never ending cycle of he shows potential, makes a breathtaking play, sucks ass, and then gets hurt.
