Inside Anthony Richardson's benching: Why it happened, what it says about Colts and where QB goes from here
CBSN
Indianapolis has turned to Joe Flacco
The Indianapolis Colts didn't have a plan for Anthony Richardson so much as they had a concept of a plan.
Drafted fourth overall in 2023, Richardson needed on-field reps to develop his raw potential. The Colts and the rest of the league knew it. Ten starts later, and with the league's worst completion percentage, he has been benched for veteran Joe Flacco.
Sources who spoke to CBS Sports describe Richardson's benching as twofold. First, the on-field results were not showing a clear, linear and mature development for the 22-year-old quarterback, and there were unanswered questions about why things weren't clicking. Secondly, it reveals a schism between a general manager who banked his job on getting this pick correct and the coaching staff trying to win with that pick.
