UNBELIEVABLE: Fans don’t believe what Kirk Herbstreit said about Anthony Richardson.

Last offseason, the Indianapolis Colts took a big bet on Anthony Richardson, selecting him with the fourth pick. Richardson was a divisive prospect.

His athleticism, strength, and speed were exceptional, but his lack of experience and accuracy difficulties were cause for concern. Not for Shane Steichen.

Richardson showed great in little action during his first season, as ailments kept him sidelined for the majority of the year.

That’s why, now that he’s fully recovered, the Colts would have to think long and hard before considering another QB option.

However, that’s not how Kirk Herbstreit feels.

During the Colts’ preseason finale, the renowned analyst stated that it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Colts considering Joe Flacco to sub in for him if he struggles (via Awful Announcing).

Needless to say, it didn’t take long before the fans called him out on social media.

Truth be told, the chances of 39-year-old Joe Flacco benching Richardson are slim, to say the least.

The Colts have made Richardson their franchise player, and even if he struggles in his first full season as a starter, chances are that they would still stick by him for at least another offseason.

There should be no debate about the quarterback position in Indianapolis, especially not between Flacco and Richardson.

Flacco is a proven veteran, but his best days are clearly behind him, and the Colts are looking to build something sustainable for the future.
