Anthony Richardson’s agent needles Colts over QB1 decision, questions ‘trust’

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson will be the backup for Daniel Jones to start the 2025 season, the team announced on Tuesday.
Richardson was the No. 4 overall pick of the 2023 draft but has struggled with injuries and consistent play, which forced the Colts’ hand just a few weeks before the official start of the regular season. Indianapolis will play the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 7.

Deiric Jackson, the quarterback’s agent, responded to the Colts’ decision in a statement to ESPN. He suggested that some of the decision-making by Colts head coach Shane Steichen when it came to his client put the player in a bad position and may have damaged the organization’s credibility.
“Trust is a big factor and that is, at best, questionable right now,” Jackson told the network. “Anthony came back and made the improvements in the areas he needed to improve. And by all accounts, he had a great camp.”

He added that when the team needed a big play in 2024, the ball was put into Richardson’s hands. Despite being benched for two games, he had 1,814 passing yards, eight touchdown passes and was 6-5 in the 11 games he started for the team.
Regardless, Steichen chose the former New York Giants player instead of Richardson.
The ex-Florida Gators standout said there were no hard feelings toward the third-year head coach over the decision.

“I guess you could say (I was) somewhat surprised, but at the end of the day we all knew somebody was going to have to be on this end of the stick and, you know, it was me,” Richardson said. “I feel like I did improve. My improvement was there, but there are still ways I can improve, still ways I can become a better player, become a starter in the league.”

The Carolina Panthers created havoc for the Los Angeles Rams and received a boost from the sloppy weather as they defeated the best team in the NFC, 31-28.
Carolina notched its seventh win of the year. It’s the first time they have won at least seven games since the 2022 season when Matt Rhule, and eventually Steve Wilks, were at the helm. The Panthers also snapped the Rams’ six-game winning streak.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford entered the game as the NFL MVP favorite. It seemed like he was going to have a big game as he led the team down for a touchdown on the opening drive. At the time, it was his 28th touchdown pass without an interception, which broke an NFL record.
The good vibes didn’t last long as Stafford threw an interception on his next drive and later had a pick six to Panthers cornerback Mike Jackson. The Panthers’ defense then forced Stafford to fumble the ball on the Rams’ final drive, which sunk any hopes of them coming back to force overtime or win the game.
Panthers quarterback Bryce Young was 15-of-20 with 206 passing yards and three touchdown passes. He found rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan for a 43-yard go-ahead touchdown with 6:34 left in the game. It was McMillan’s only catch of the game.

The Panthers’ (7-6) win kept them in contention for the NFC South lead. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a higher winning percentage after their win over the Arizona Cardinals, moving to 7-5.
