The Anthony Richardson situation in Indianapolis has captured the attention of the NFL world.

Anthony Richardson Says Shane Steichen Did not Clarify Why He Was Benched for Joe Flacco

The Anthony Richardson situation in Indianapolis has captured the eye of the NFL world. The eye peaked on Wednesday, when Colts gamers and coaches met with media for the primary time since studies emerged that Richardson was getting benched in favor of 37-year-old Joe Flacco.

To say it did not go nicely can be an understatement. Head coach Shane Steichen was given the chance to declare Richardson the way forward for the franchise and as a substitute settled for an uninspiring quote that raised questions about whether he’d even start again. Huge receiver Michael Pittman stated he found out about the quarterback change via social media. Steichen refused to say whether or not the group was on board with the choice. All not nice.

After which, the kicker. Richardson instructed reporters Steichen did not even clarify why he was benched for Flacco.

“He simply instructed me that they have been gonna go together with Joe (Flacco) and that was that,” he stated. “And I simply had to soak up the data and simply develop.”

When requested if Steichen defined why, Richardson acknowledged, “Nah, not essentially.”

I requested #Colts QB Anthony Richardson how/why HC Shane Steichen defined him being benched:

“He simply instructed me they have been gonna go together with Joe (Flacco) and that was that. And I simply had to soak up the data and simply develop.”

So, did Steichen clarify why?

That looks as if an issue, and never simply to appease Richardson’s undoubtedly injured ego. If Steichen cannot or won’t clarify to his quarterback why he is getting benched, it makes everyone marvel if there is a thought-out plan in place. If not, the shadow of this choice and the method behind it looms massive over the remainder of this yr and coming seasons.

Not precisely a banner day for the Colts group, however one which will likely be forgotten shortly if the group wins video games going ahead. As is all the time the case within the NFL.
