Some believe there's no such thing as moral victories, and to some point, that's true. However, if you're looking for a silver lining in' sideline, fellow sophomore quarterback C.J. Stroud, was fortunate enough to stay healthy last year, outperforming his peers on the way to NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. There's no mystery about how good he already is.
Stroud made three turnover-worthy plays but finished with a strong 78.2% adjusted completion percentage. Richardson, in his return to regular-season action following a season-ending injury in 2023, completed two of his 20-plus-yard pass attempts for 117 yards and a score but struggled some with accuracy.in the 2023 NFL Draft , and while he was far from perfect, he made a handful of plays that haven't been seen by a Colts quarterback since the days of Andrew Luck.
Richardson was a disenchanting 9-of-19 passing overall, but with 212 yards and an eye-popping yards-per-attempt of 11.2. He also threw 2 touchdowns and an interception, and he was sacked twice for a passer rating of 101.2.
