00:00About to be year number three for Anthony Richardson in his NFL career.
00:03Of course, very short rookie campaign, only playing in four games,
00:07a shoulder injury that sidelined him the remainder of his rookie season.
00:11Last year, got back, dealt with a few injuries,
00:14but there was hope and promise for AR that was never actualized.
00:19It was awful in terms of efficiency and accuracy.
00:23It was the number one thing, holding back any bit of his draft stock
00:27out of Florida where he had a career or he had a completion percentage
00:30in his final year with the Gators at 53.8% his loan year
00:35as a full-time starting quarterback collegiately.
00:37In those issues, DRS have carried over to the NFL.
00:40So this offseason, Indianapolis signs Daniel Jones, I believe,
00:45on a one-year $14 million deal.
00:48Something in excess of double digits in terms of $1 million.
00:53And they draft Riley Leonard, the quarterback, out of Notre Dame via Duke.
00:57In the late portions of the NFL draft.
01:00So courtesy of our Canadian friends at the FanDuel Sportsbook,
01:03the week one starting quarterback odds for the Colts.
01:07Anthony Richardson, filling odds on favorite at minus 265.
01:10Danny Dimes, second-best price.
01:13We throw in Riley Leonard as well at 35-1.
01:17Ultimately, DRS, week number one, early September in Indianapolis.
01:21Who gets the nod in year number three?
01:23It's so simple.
01:24Well, that minus 265 price should be minus 660.
01:26Barring injury, he will be the starting quarterback opening day.
01:29But there also should be another poll out there.
01:30How many weeks does he actually be the starter?
01:32Two and a half weeks, three and a half weeks?
01:34Because you just don't miraculously get better this season
01:36when the spotlight is on you when you had every opportunity in the past.
01:40Whether it's injury, not being professional.
01:42For some reason, he just can't stay on the football field.
01:44And when he does, you see the electric parts of him.
01:46You see the deep ball that can be so pretty at times.
01:49And then you see the six-yard out route that he can't complete a pass towards an interception
01:52or just doesn't throw the football to the right player.
01:54Those are the issues that you run into.
01:56He has all the talent to wear out.
01:57If you could go into a laboratory and say, give me the perfect quarterback.
02:01Strength, size, conditioning, and arm strength.
02:03It is Anthony Richardson.
02:04But he just hasn't put it together here.
02:06And the question is, does he want to put it together?
02:08Now, if you start the season with Daniel Jones or Riley Leonard, that white flag is up.
02:12I'm not saying the coach is going to have a sensational year regardless of any quarterback they put in.
02:17But you're crazy to think that Anthony Richardson is just not going to be gifted that quarterback number one spot,
02:22at least for the month of September.
02:23He will be there.
02:24They have no other choice but to do that.
02:26You can't have Daniel Jones.
02:27There's no passion from the fan base.
02:29You're not going anywhere with your season or in a rookie quarterback at that point right now.
02:33That wasn't even a pedigree quarterback drafted in the top 15.
02:35It's going to be Anthony Richardson.
02:37And they are praying that he somehow miraculously can complete 65-plus percent of his passes.
02:41That's not going to work.
02:42But he will be the starter in September.
