Colts’ QB Shifts: Who’s Rising and Falling With Joe Flacco
The Indianapolis Colts made the surprising move this week to bench 22-year-old quarterback Anthony Richardson in favor of 39-year-old Joe Flacco. This represents the Colts‘ desire to shift away from the developmental path with Richardson in order to win more games now with the veteran journeyman.
This move at the quarterback position will have massive ramifications for the rest of the offense, as the Colts’ passing game efficiency should see a healthy uptick in production going forward. While there is plenty of good to go around for the Colts’ offense following this move, the overall impact of it is a bit more nuanced.
