They have one change they need to make to ensure they do, and that’s bench Anthony Richardson for Joe Flacco.Anthony Richardson missed two games this season, and since his return the Colts have gone 1-1, yet in full games Richardson has played this season the Colts have gone 2-3. Richardson hasn’t performed great, and instead has put Indianapolis routinely in tough spots that they need to climb out of. He has shown little improvement, throwing way too many turnover worthy plays that have led to him having a four-seven touchdown-interception ratio.FOR MORE NFL CONTENT, CHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING LINKS:–The Indianapolis Colts Will Win the AFC South in 2024–Anthony Richardson is Not Ready to be an NFL Starting QuarterbackRichardson doesn’t have what it takes to be the franchise quarterback for the Colts, and that was demonstrated when he took himself out of the game in the third quarter. When asked about it, his response was ““Tired, I ain’t gonna lie. That was a lot of running right there that I did, and I didn’t think I was gonna be able to go that next play. So, I just told Shane I needed a break right there.” That’s not the mentality you want from your quarterback, and the Colts need someone in there under center that can be a true leader.Currently, that is Joe Flacco. This wouldn’t be the first time Flacco came off the bench to help lead a team to the playoffs. In fact, he just did it last season to help the Cleveland Browns. Flacco has seen limited time on the field this season for Indianapolis, but in doing so, had gone 2-1 while throwing for 716 yards and seven touchdowns with just one interception over a 65.7% completion rate.With the AFC South, it’s the Houston Texans in the lead, but the Colts aren’t out of the race for the division title. In fact, they almost beat the Texans and would’ve had they had better quarterback play. Flacco would’ve provided that, and is the experienced quarterback that a younger Colts team needs to maximize their potential. Indianapolis needs to make him the starter, and bench Richardson to keep their playoff hopes alive.</div></body>
