We took a close look at Anthony Richardson in Tuesday’s column at Go Long.
The 2023 fourth overall pick is the ultimate quarterback case study… and time’s running out. All 32 teams should be panning a magnifying glass over the Indianapolis Colts and their mercurial QB. Now, his career’s on the line. The leader on defense, linebacker Zaire Franklin, also offered a sharp perspective in the piece.
And whenever the Colts come to mind, it’s smart to place a call to Zak Keefer of The Athletic.
Zak covered the Colts extensively for years and now writes features on the entire NFL. Last January, he authored this penetrating piece on Indy’s poor culture.
Here on the Go Long Pod, we discuss everything Anthony Richardson and Chris Ballard. There’s something missing to the quarterback’s DNA, beyond all of those erratic incomplete passes.
Thank you for sharing with a friend and fueling our independent journalism.
Anthony Richardson and the danger of quarterback daydreaming
His cannon arm. His breakaway speed. One outrageous chef-d’oeuvre of an NFL Combine. Anthony Richardson was built for both this moment in sports media and the Indianapolis Colts. Film fiends cherry-picked two or three plays for dramatic social-media narration. Hype built. Hope followed. The quarterback who didn’t even throw 400 passes in college was The Gamble these Indianapolis Colts had been avoiding.
