Who woulda thunk that he'd have accuracy problems in the NFL? He was always SOOOOO accurate in college. He may yet turn out to be a decent NFL QB, but I thought drafting him as high as the Colts did was a huge stretch and gamble. They're trotting 100-year old Joe Flacco out instead of their 'franchise' QB draft pick from last year. Just because he has ridiculous measurables doesn't mean he's ever going to be a good NFL QB.
 
Colts are idiots for drafting a project QB. Probably could have gotten him in the later rounds.


That said, AR can make throws that not even Mahomo can make.
 
AR screwed himself coming out. He will likely never do anything the rest of his career. They've already soured on him.

AR was never good, he was a very good athlete who is huge..... But a QB he is not and the Colts wasted a top pick on a project at best expecting him to be Tom Brady.
Will Levis is 10x the QB that AR is with matching freak status. and Will has struggled mightily AR never had a chance especially needing to develop and getting thrust into a situation you're not close to ready for. and if the scouts legit thought he did then they need to be fired from their positions

You take AR about where Leary got drafted, and tell him to prove it. Not draft him #4 and hand millions guaranteed to someone who is never going to be worth the investment.

I thought the Colts were dumb drafting him so early. Veri inconsistent and inaccurate in college. With a game that's sped up and includes elite athletes all over the field, why would the Colts think he's going to light it up in the NFL? In hindsight, they should've traded down and picked up a QB later but fortified a couple of positions with the trade.

Missing on a franchise QB early in the first inevitably sets a team back several years.

AR has always been overrated, but we probably shouldn't cast aspersions too much. Will Levis is probably next in line for a demotion. I don't know if Levis would thrive in a different system or if there's anybody who'd take a flyer on him. What team out there could provide him a better opportunity to succeed?
