Mo Alie-Cox - NFL thread

Does anyone know a way to actually see what's coming on a certain channel NFL-wise besides only seeing "TBA" at 1/2 hour before it coming on? Does anyone know if Mo's game is on actual local CBS today a 1pm? The smart speakers here will say CBS but the TV guide website and our onscreen guide (antenna) only says, as is customary, TBA.

The Ravens (CBS) and Commanders (FOX) games will always take precedence in the Richmond market. Since the Ravens are in the 1 p.m. time slot today, that'll be the CBS game.

Sunday Ticket is the only way to go if you are an NFL fan.

The Colts keep rushing him back from injuries. Shades of how Washington handled RG3. They need to be starting Flacco and letting AR rest.
His problems aren't injury related. He's an elite athlete who has almost no QB experience and seems to have (at this very early stage) no feel for the position. He barely played at Florida (and wasn't great there). Playing him now, regardless of injury status, makes no sense. Let the kid learn, and one hopes, develop. He's at least a year on the bench away from being competent

You don't develop on the bench, I have no idea why this is even a narrative. What current starting QB can you point to that sat and "developed" for a year or two? Mahomes? Chiefs were a playoff team his rookie year. Hurts? Eagles made the playoffs the year before. Jordan Love? 1st ballot HOFer in front of him. Of course none of them are going to start immediately, but everybody else was pretty much handed the keys from day one or at least starting before their rookie season ended. If practice reps were so valuable, then all these career backup QBs wouldn't look so lost when the starter gets injured.

Richardson's #1 issue is accuracy. He's got an above average deep ball, especially on vertical routes, but crossing routes in the short to intermediate give him trouble. Part of that is timing and quick decision making given the dynamic of Steichen's scheme, but you're not going to improve on that simply getting practice reps especially vs. our vanilla a$$ defense.

All that to say, it doesn't make anymore sense to bench him than it does to leave him out there. We're not contenders with Flacco either way, sure we might win a few more games, but we're not making any noise in the playoffs no matter who's under center. So what's the point? It's gonna be ugly, especially with the teams we're playing the next few weeks. But we used the #4 pick on him and we're not a true playoff team, so you gotta ride it out at least until his rookie deal is up

Sitting a first year QB to learn is an old school philosophy. Tom Brady talked about it recently.

Cannot imagine Colts leaving him out there until end of contract (signed 4 year deal) if he continues as inaccurate as he is.
He is completing 44% of passing attempts - the worst QBs that are starting are usually at 60% range
I espect rookies are more likely to be at or near that % in year 1

this season's rookies completion %s (yes I know Richardson is technically year 2 but..... most of 1st year was injured)

Daniels 72%, Nix 63%, Maye 63%, Caleb Williams 63%, Rattler 60%

IMO you pull the plug after this season or mid season in 2025 if #s aren't significantly improving to put him at the lower range around 55-60% this season completion % and starting next season in low 60%s , coupled with his running bona fides

colts have lots of pieces to compete for divison and conference championship but right now none of their QBs will get them there

ps. he is getting scorched in media about tapping out for the one play yesterday becasue he was winded (my goodness would never expect Jackson, Daniels or other running Qbs to do that)


go Mo
