I kinda hope we’ll get Minshew to start the season. He’s kind of a known quantity and a player that’s not really ever going to play above the numbers. I suspect we’ll see him in the opener.

Very much what I was thinking. 

If Richardson plays i wouldn't be massively surprised if we fumbled that one actually! Itd certainly be a good wee early test for our team and Trevor to hit a good level early  put teams away!

But we've all seen rookies come in first game, at home, tails up and play out of their skins (cough, ahem even CJ Henderson managed that   ) ... only to steadily slow as the season goes on and teams get their hands on tape. Especially when the kid looks like a playmaker rather than a safe pair of hands at this point and we wern't exactly hammering opposition qbs last year! Interesting to see how the Colts play it!
