Colts fans may not miss their starting quarterback Anthony Richardson following his serious oblique injury. The man is currently healthy, but the team is not putting him in danger right now and will give him more time to recover. For the time being, Joe Flacco is the starting quarterback, with Richardson being the backup QB for him. The surprising thing is that Flacco has only a $4 Million one-year contract with the team which is way less when compared to Richardson’s $34 Million four-year deal.

Many of you have witnessed how talented the quarterback is, as he has made some incredible throws with a completion percentage of more than 70% in three games. These are incredible figures, prompting concerns about whether the man should play even when Richardson returns from injury. Former NFL player Luke Kuechly recently shared the same perspective on the Up and Adams show. The guy said, “I see no reason not to…”

This was a significant comment since it indicated that even the team may consider having Joe Flacco as their starter quarterback in every game this season. So far this season, he has 7 touchdowns in just three games which is amazing.

Because of his assistance, the team won two games and lost one but it was also a tight game. This demonstrates how good the quarterback is and how he operates in a perfect rhythm on the field.  Apart from that, when will Richardson be able to return to the field? Let’s have a look at it too.

When will Anthony Richardson be back on the field?

Following the Colts’ Week 6 victory, the head coach discussed the idea of the starting quarterback returning. The HC indicated that the team practiced with Anthony Richardson for the whole of week 6 but ultimately altered their minds owing to a lack of risk. The head coach even mentioned that the primary quarterback may return in the next week if he is fully healthy.

Although this was a possibility, the team will evaluate Joe Flacco due to his great statistics. Let’s take a look at how both the quarterbacks performed overall so far in this season.

Joe Flacco: In 4 appearances, 71-of-108 passing (65.7%) for 716 yards and 7 touchdowns with 1 interception. He has been sacked six times.

Anthony Richardson: In 3 appearances , 39-of-77 (50.6%), 654 yards, 3 touchdowns, 6 interceptions; 4 sacks; 21 carries, 141 yards (6.7 per), 1 TD

What are your opinions on both the QBs? Do you want Anthony Richardson back on the field?
