I REALLY enjoy how he answers each question HONESTLY and thoroughly with transparency. That’s such a breath of fresh air especially from a QB

[gustanimation]

Seeing him play tonight did make me a little nervous but he’s still young and hasn’t played a full season yet. I see people tearing him apart and saying he’s a bust and that the season is over before it’s even started but I believe he’s truly our next franchise QB. Maybe it’s a bit of nerves and miscommunication but based on the film from last season I feel as long as he stays healthy and stays confident he’ll be great! I believe in AR and it seems like the rest of the coaching staff and roster believes in him too! Let’s get it this year! FOR THE SHOE!!!

[pfft]

I'm not worried. The first drive looked great. Let's not forget...this is basically his rookie year...qb's take time to develop...it doesn't happen over night. Richardson shows promise...all these doom and gloom fans we have are fools....wanna count him out already. Be patient let him develop.

[justincooper]

If he gets his accuracy better he will be unstoppable

[area_t]

love seeing people overreact and call him a bust after 2 preseason games.

[j.t.taylor]

Let’s go AR, that first drive was excellent. The pick 6 happens. 2 everyone eventually.Practice makes perfect. Let’s go Colts 🦍

[NATHAN]

Going to my first game against the Steelers, look forward to watching you play!

[EugeneTheEskimo]

AR- has only thrown 144 passes (pass attempts) in his total career including high school. Ballard made a terrible mistake by drafting on 40 yard dash times. No way AR will be able to handle the NFL

[michaelpowell]

AR5 can work more on his mechanics and accuracy. Once he gets those straightened out, he can become a QB force to reckon with!!!

[unsainted]

All u doubters need to remember he hasnt played much and its only preseason...so far he has shown some improvement from last season...just look at his first drive...and with preseason they aint pulling out the playbook...its basicly warmup and practice...give him time and im sure he will look more consistently like he did against the rams last season...how many qbs have had really rough first couple years and then boomed to be really good? Wait and see

[juzd]

Hear 5 knows to keep both hands on the football 🏉 let's me know thats the first thing to fix an clean up any communication issues so both are on the same page 👀🏉💙🤍Indianapolis Colts 💪👀🏉🏆💪

[DexlerPeleiupu-tpuq]

You can't make mistakes like that especially, turning the ball over with the pick six when the regular season comes. And clearly that fumble he's not aware of his surroundings when running away from the pocket. He looks like a high school QB to me after making those mistakes, and I'm surprised Bean the backup QB played way better than him 😂

[socks]

I understand people are nervous and what not. And sure rightfully so. But Anthony’s character is what I look at, these are literally mental reps at game speed he needs to get used to again. He isn’t supposed to be polished, even rn he’s not. This is an extension of his rookie season.
The only true thing I’m worried about is accuracy but again thatll all come with game speed reps I feel

[elbacono]

these team is going to have a long season. they didnt look great against a third string D

[garrettcox]

That response about Mitchell was awkward as hell.

[Joaquin-]

His slow decision-making in the pocket contributes to his inaccuracy. Flacco starting this season, makes the Colts a playoff team.

[lvndnv]

Coach Irsay should keep Tony on the sidelines and work on trading him.

[mr.sane]

We live in a negative world, in the end it’s all just a game!😉

[DexlerPeleiupu-tpuq]

He's sucked after watching him throw pick six at a dead ball to a running back, over threw Mitchell on 3rd down, and a fumble unbelievable. If he plays like this in the regular season with carelessness with the ball, I rather have Bean as our starting QB. Bean been showing accuracy way better than Richardson

[lvndnv]

Tony Richardson is playing scared. This is the quagmire I was concerned about. If TR runs, he's fragile. If TR passes, he's unproven.
