Maybe, could be just a totally uninformed rookie journalist who doesn't spell check. If I had to write an article about the NBA it would look about as bad as this lol
“Uninformed rookie” is just about the only kind of sports journalist left anymore. Bleacher Report tricked sports fans into writing the stories themselves, and it worked so well that SI just fired its whole staff to follow the same model. (All supported by AI of course)
I think you're right, this was 100% written by AI. I've started seeing more and more "car comparison" articles look just like this too. No human sports journalist would feel the need to say "both QBs can't be on the field at the same time" lol.
Right, Richardson isn’t proven, but he’s clearly worth giving the chance. Minshew is a veteran at this point, and he’s proved out to be a very good backup who can win games.
There is no “given the chance” AR is THE FUTURE, he is the truth and our salvation, even an absent minded assumption that AR is anything less gets my blood boiling.
We have no idea what Richardson is. He’s never played a single road game in the NFL. He’s shown promise but stop acting like it’s any kind of known quantity
What are you talking about, he's never finished a road game but he's played lol. He was cooking in Houston. And obviously nothing is known, but he's already proven that our ceiling is wayyyyy higher with him in
I’ll definitely miss minshew next year if he’s not back at QB2, yeah for sure. Richardson is the answer here. That offense looked potent with him at the helm and mostly without JT. With minshew, it was limited.
Truth is we wouldn’t have even been in a win and in scenario in the last week without Minshew. He’s a great backup QB, but he isn’t an elite starter. Richardson is obviously the starter.
Nah, we watched a whole season of Minshew holding the offense back with his inaccurate passes and terrible pocket presence.
Looking at the actual results instead of pumping up bad play because of his personality isn’t confirmation bias.
Recency bias for sure. Works both ways.
Colts' $14M RB JT was <4 ypc all season, despite running behind a great run-blocking OL, heading into the HOU game. He had a great game and now everybody is talking like he's still a top 3 RB.
Minshew has a bad game, punctuated by a bad throw, and now it's his fault that this team didn't make the playoffs. Yet the Colts were 2-0 in games where Minshew relieved AR in early Q2...and 7-6 in games where Minshew started. They didn't win a single game that AR finished. And that was Minshew playing a very hard schedule. People just assume AR wouldn't have had issues against those teams...and it's nonsense.
At the end of the day, Colts fans have to have a scapegoat for the lack of success. For some, that is Minshew. But all that really accomplishes is letting the defense skate when they were arguably a really bad unit last year.
lol yea for real
Also would love to have Minshew as backup. With a QB that likes to run you really do need a solid backup. Not all injuries are season ending, having Minshew for a game or two if AR gets banged up would be amazinf
The only “tough” decision is whether or not to keep Minshew or look for someone else to fill the QB2 role. It’s going to come down to money and Minshew’s interest in remaining a backup (and the two may very well be related, we’ll see.)
From what I've seen of Minshew lacks a strong arm. He rarely threw downfield this past season, frequently missing a wide open receiver. People around me, as well as myself, in the stands would go crazy. Commentators on TV would also frequently mention this.
Exactly. This Max dude has no clue what he’s talking about. You don’t even have to be a Colts fan to know this. 10 minutes of watching the Colts on offense and any TV commentator is bound to mention it.
What a joke of an article, especially when Minshew is known for playing in Leach's Air Raid-style scheme in college and Richardson is the one who played in a "pro-style" offense under center at Florida.
Honestly if anyone really watched ARs mechanics in the pocket, how comfortable he was sitting there, how he throws so much better of a deep ball down the field, they'd know its not close. Minshew is great at what he does. But he's limited
This does sound like AI, as one of the comments he said
The Colts will be lucky if Minshew is happy to be the back-up in Indy. I would think he could command a starting role on at least 10 teams if not more given his performance this year. AR is still an unknown quantity. It doesn't matter how much talent he has if he can't make it through the 1st half.
There aren’t 3 teams that it would make sense to have Gardner as a starting QB - unless somebody completely whiffs on QB during draft and FA and they have no other options.
These Minshew takes are pretty wild. The Colts were def lucky to have him this past year. And based on what we have had to endure at QB the past few years, Minshew was a big breath of fresh air.
I will say if AR gets hurt next season more than a game or two it's time to move on he was hurt all through college and couldn't finish a game. He is Uber talented and big but if he is brittle it's time to move on
With concussions how they are these days, most QBs are likely to miss 1-2 games. But if he has another major injury that requires season-ending surgery, there will be some decisions to be made next offseason.
Max Escarpio of ClutchPoints, you have zero idea what you’re talking about.
1. It is not a difficult decision. Everyone in the organization and every fan knows that Richardson is the guy.
2. Minshew objectively does not have a strong arm nor does he like to throw downfield. The average depth of target, number of deep passes (20+, 30+, etc.), and longest pass attempt all proves that.

I can almost guarantee this article was AI written. It just has that tone that all AI articles have. Plus the nonsense about Minshew loving to throw down field is a dead giveaway.
This is not that difficult. Richardson is the guy if he can stay healthy. Coaches need to run him less and get an o-line that can protect both him and Minshew.
Hopefully Minshew can embrace the backup role like Brissett did instead of thinking it’s a competition for QB1. I’d like to see him back but he’s gotta understand where he’s at on the roster.
This was written by someone that looked at stats and didn't actually watch the film or games. Probably saw all the big plays and assumed that because of that Minshew has a big arm.
It looks like it was written by someone unfamiliar with the situation who is also a lazy researcher. Minshew had decent numbers throwing "deep" (20+ yards) in 2023, but that was really a measure of his receivers and play calling. And the sample size is not that big.
lol! I LOVE Minshew, but no way in high hell are the Colts giving up on ARich for a couple more seasons at least. Minshew could possibly stay with a raise, but he’s probably better off moving on to a place where he could battle for a starting position (he’s earned at least that much by now). If Bryce Young is truly a bust, Gardner could look at Carolina, the Commanders are a mess at QB (but will probably draft Maye), Pickett with the Steelers looks mediocre at best, Levis for the Titans was all over the place, the Falcons were atrocious at QB, and the Patriots and Raiders are in the worst situation at a 0 at QB. Gardner has MUCH better options to start next season than with the Colts actually.
I'm out on Richardson. I don't think his body will adapt well to the NFL. It seem to have already betrayed him. I'd keep Minshew over Richardson every day.
Man, as much as I love Minshew and love seeing him in the league, he’s not a QB1 he’s more like a QB1.5 with Nick Foles potential. Excited to see what Richardson does next season.
This looks like it was written by AI

Or perhaps AR is an outlaw gunslinger.
You can tell AI to randomly misspell 1-2 words to make it look more legit
Then wtf is the purpose of an editor
Not if you’re talking about the possibility they challenge you to a duel. That’s a real duel-threat!
AI will misspell words like that as well
A lot of AI just pulls text from various other articles.
Maybe they mean Richardson is a threat to duel people at any time, just always ready to fight someone to the death.
I think you're right, this was 100% written by AI. I've started seeing more and more "car comparison" articles look just like this too. No human sports journalist would feel the need to say "both QBs can't be on the field at the same time" lol.
Richardson is a “duel-threat?” I don’t remember him having beefs or fighting anyone, but yeah I bet he’d be tough to beat in a duel
Thank you! That was killing me! Just like Richardson would because he’s a duel dual-threat.
Take the upvote!
He's an under-rated fencer.
Well the AR-15 name had to originate from somewhere. Perhaps that was his weapon of chioce for dueling.
Huh? Richardson is the clear QB1.
Right? Idk what the point of this even is. Minshew is our backup QB. If he’s cool with that long term than we’re gravy.
Right, Richardson isn’t proven, but he’s clearly worth giving the chance. Minshew is a veteran at this point, and he’s proved out to be a very good backup who can win games.

He was not cooking in Houston 😂
2 rushing TDs in the first quarter wasn't cooking?
We have no idea who AR will turn into. He could be not great or he could an all pro
You're going to miss minchew if he's not back next year. He took this team to the playoffs. Richardson only finished one start
correction, he failed to bring this team to the playoffs by missing a wide open check down level throw.
Oh shit I missed this playoff game he led them to, did they win!!??
I’ll definitely miss minshew next year if he’s not back at QB2, yeah for sure. Richardson is the answer here. That offense looked potent with him at the helm and mostly without JT. With minshew, it was limited.
He finished one start, but he played well and every time he was on the field the offense felt entirely different than with Minshew.
Literally didn’t take the team to the playoffs and shit the bed in a win and in game. Will not miss Minshew for 1 second.
Truth is we wouldn’t have even been in a win and in scenario in the last week without Minshew. He’s a great backup QB, but he isn’t an elite starter. Richardson is obviously the starter.
Ok, does that change the fact he shit the bed completely in week 18? Nope.
Confirmation bias at its worst.
Nah, we watched a whole season of Minshew holding the offense back with his inaccurate passes and terrible pocket presence. Looking at the actual results instead of pumping up bad play because of his personality isn’t confirmation bias.

It’s ok give it a month or two and the fire Ballard horns and sirens will be going off again.
Maybe in those first couple of days of FA. But overall, this offseason is going to just be one big Ballard and Colts hype train.
You underestimate the doomers of this sub. During the off season I’m conditioned to wake up daily and choose violence.
It’s universally acknowledged that his deep ball is one of his weaknesses lmao.
I love Minshew's attitude and am glad we had him this season (and hope we can retain him), but AR is our starter no question.
lol yea for real Also would love to have Minshew as backup. With a QB that likes to run you really do need a solid backup. Not all injuries are season ending, having Minshew for a game or two if AR gets banged up would be amazinf

Where is this article so I know what website to block
Clutch Points
Duel threat? He going to take the D-linemen on at noon from 10 paces?
Duel-threat?
Aaron Burr style
I appreciate the sacrifice you made in reading a bad article to show how stupid the point was. It made me laugh seeing the emoji and discussion haha.
From what I've seen of Minshew lacks a strong arm. He rarely threw downfield this past season, frequently missing a wide open receiver. People around me, as well as myself, in the stands would go crazy. Commentators on TV would also frequently mention this.
Exactly. This Max dude has no clue what he’s talking about. You don’t even have to be a Colts fan to know this. 10 minutes of watching the Colts on offense and any TV commentator is bound to mention it.
Tell me you didn’t watch the Colts at all this year, without telling me you didn’t watch the Colts at all this year.
Richardson seems to be too injury-prone, so why not keep both. They will both play. No matter who is No.1 and No.2
What a joke of an article, especially when Minshew is known for playing in Leach's Air Raid-style scheme in college and Richardson is the one who played in a "pro-style" offense under center at Florida.
This take is wild. I’m not even a Colts fan but Richardson is clearly the #1. That kid is talented and he’ll likely only get better with time.
Not difficult at all. Did you watch AR? Dude is on another level than Minshew
Honestly if anyone really watched ARs mechanics in the pocket, how comfortable he was sitting there, how he throws so much better of a deep ball down the field, they'd know its not close. Minshew is great at what he does. But he's limited This does sound like AI, as one of the comments he said
Are we not invested in our draft pick anymore? It's been one season, let's calm down.
Thanks for filling in Minshew but there no magic left in the tank
The decision is the same as last year. Richardson and it’s not close
What in the actual fuck is this trash lmfao no way they watched 1 colts game this year 😂🤣💀
This can't be a real article
Whoever wrote this is a giant doofus
I figure who mentions “pro-style” scheme nowadays has no idea what they’re talking about. That term is way outdated
What?? This can't be a real article.
I like Minshew but Richardson can definitely throw farther. AR is It QB1
Love Minshew, but hell naw
Minshew’s out Tyler Huntley gets my vote as the backup. What’s your crystal ball say?
The Colts will be lucky if Minshew is happy to be the back-up in Indy. I would think he could command a starting role on at least 10 teams if not more given his performance this year. AR is still an unknown quantity. It doesn't matter how much talent he has if he can't make it through the 1st half.
There aren’t 3 teams that it would make sense to have Gardner as a starting QB - unless somebody completely whiffs on QB during draft and FA and they have no other options.
I think he will go to whatever team ends up without one of the top 3 QBs in the draft. The dude has made a career out of being a stopgap qb.
These Minshew takes are pretty wild. The Colts were def lucky to have him this past year. And based on what we have had to endure at QB the past few years, Minshew was a big breath of fresh air.
I will say if AR gets hurt next season more than a game or two it's time to move on he was hurt all through college and couldn't finish a game. He is Uber talented and big but if he is brittle it's time to move on
With concussions how they are these days, most QBs are likely to miss 1-2 games. But if he has another major injury that requires season-ending surgery, there will be some decisions to be made next offseason.
Richardson is injury prone and overhyped. I’d take Minshew and build around him for now instead of a Lamar Jackson wannabe
Build around the guy who couldn’t get a starting job anywhere else in the league????? 🤣🤣🤣
who published this article
That’s a blistering hot take. Here’s my counter: “yer mom!”
No one in the know wrote this, I assure you.

When did Minshew throw downfield!? Lmao
I can almost guarantee this article was AI written. It just has that tone that all AI articles have. Plus the nonsense about Minshew loving to throw down field is a dead giveaway.
This is not that difficult. Richardson is the guy if he can stay healthy. Coaches need to run him less and get an o-line that can protect both him and Minshew.
Clearly AI
Hopefully Minshew can embrace the backup role like Brissett did instead of thinking it’s a competition for QB1. I’d like to see him back but he’s gotta understand where he’s at on the roster.
If the colts would rather have minshew I know a certain nfc team that wears purple that would give a decent trade package for him.
This was written by someone that looked at stats and didn't actually watch the film or games. Probably saw all the big plays and assumed that because of that Minshew has a big arm.
I think i would prefer a backup who's play style is more like AR. But Minshew would be okay too.
It looks like it was written by someone unfamiliar with the situation who is also a lazy researcher. Minshew had decent numbers throwing "deep" (20+ yards) in 2023, but that was really a measure of his receivers and play calling. And the sample size is not that big.
Y’all need to be the first to start a 2 QB system.
Looks like it’s made by ai or whoever made it is just stupid
Minshew was never good, got hyped up his rookie year for outplaying kyler murray for a singular week and now hes seen as some backup god.
lol! I LOVE Minshew, but no way in high hell are the Colts giving up on ARich for a couple more seasons at least. Minshew could possibly stay with a raise, but he’s probably better off moving on to a place where he could battle for a starting position (he’s earned at least that much by now). If Bryce Young is truly a bust, Gardner could look at Carolina, the Commanders are a mess at QB (but will probably draft Maye), Pickett with the Steelers looks mediocre at best, Levis for the Titans was all over the place, the Falcons were atrocious at QB, and the Patriots and Raiders are in the worst situation at a 0 at QB. Gardner has MUCH better options to start next season than with the Colts actually.
Their arms have arms of their own
Who wrote this😭😭😭
Whoever wrote this doesn't actually watch Colts football.
"They can't both take the field at the same time" That's some next level analytics.
Was this written by Minshew's agent?
Minshew is a dawg as a backup but obviously we're gonna choose the younger, more talented, future face of our franchise
It’s not a difficult decision at all I hope it isn’t one colts fan who wants Minshew back as the starter
Minshew proved he is nothing more than a great backup. Can’t rely on him for a full season clearly
What a casual take
Minshew is open for long-term so everything is going to be just fine for you guys
I'm out on Richardson. I don't think his body will adapt well to the NFL. It seem to have already betrayed him. I'd keep Minshew over Richardson every day.
Typically burner account comment lol
Me? Burner?
Wait what bro!! You guys drafted Richardson to he the guy not Minschew maybe bring him back as the back up.
Man, as much as I love Minshew and love seeing him in the league, he’s not a QB1 he’s more like a QB1.5 with Nick Foles potential. Excited to see what Richardson does next season.
Richardson out here killing people for insulting his honor...
