Richardson played in 4 games with a 2-2 record. His 2 wins were @ Houston and @ Tennessee.

With Richardson as the starter for 4 games in the first 5 weeks of the 2023 season, the Colts were tied with the Texans for the most team touchdowns with 17. Jaguars had 15 by that time and the Titans with 11.

AFC South QBs most rushing yards in first 4 games:

1. Richardson - 136
2. Lawrence - 101
3. Stroud - 51
4. Tannehill - 28
5. Levis - 15

Richardson has raw talent. I think the Justin Fields comparison is fair. His career will go one of two ways. It'll end up like Justin Fields or he'll be what everybody had hoped Justin Fields would be in the NFL. 

I just question his durability and accuracy more than anything. 59.5% completion percentage. If he hovers around that percentage again or the low 60's I just don't see that team doing much outside of playing catch up and relying on his legs too much to make plays. 

If his AC joints are already susceptible to injury? What does that mean for his long term future as a passer? How long before he tries taking off downfield and eats a helmet to the knee or gets his ankle rolled up on while staying in the field of play? 

QB's like him are fun and terrifying to watch at the same time. I don't know how Bills fans do it with Josh Allen and Ravens fans do it with Lamar Jackson. I would wince anytime they took off and ran with it.
