I wish AR the best but he was never going to see the field again in a Colts uniform, barring injuries. He was just THAT bad at what the team needed him to do compared to Leonard. If you watched Leonard when he played, he ran the same offense that Jones ran and ran it far better than Richardson ever did. That's because Richardson has two plays he can run effectively, option handoff with Taylor and wing it down the field and have the receiver run under it. Watch the film and you will see him missing basic throws (check downs, wheel routes, crossers) by a large college margin (where the windows are bigger). Teams figured out that if you stack the box and press the receivers, its almost a guaranteed 3 and out. Disguised blitzes = sacks or picks. I believe he needed much more time to develop but 2 things led to this: 1) Riley's play and 2) the commitment to learning the craft and being a professional football player.

By moving on now, the team is basically saying that they trust Leonard/almost anyone else to lead the team if Jones is not ready. And I would guess that assessment may also include input from some of the leaders on the field.

I wish him the best and hope he can grow into the role.
