The Indianapolis Colts quarterback is still trying to find his footing.
to commanding fourth-quarter game-winning drives with the season on the line, the second-year quarterback has seen it all through the Colts' 6-7 start to the year. However, while it's been nothing short of a dramatic nine games for Richardson when starting this season, the quarterback's play up to this point hasn't quite sold a few faces around the NFL media when compared to the rest of the league's signal callers.
are the latest to throw some criticism toward Richardson in the form of a steep dropoff within their weekly quarterback index. After previously being ranked 21st among the league's starting quarterbacks, the Colts' signal caller dropped a significant eight spots, all the way to 29th overall as he traverses his way through accuracy shortcomings and inconsistencies.

He's inevitably going to have the ups and downs of an extensive development process and will have some valleys to overcome during it. With more starts and further reps in the Colts' offense, we can expect the second-year quarterback to continue to get increasingly comfortable, efficient, and effective as an NFL-level signal caller.
