I feel like "injury prone" is the wrong language to describe Richardson. The optimal style of play that maximizes his gifts and minimizes his weaknesses is likely to lead to injury. This is true of any player who plays like he does.

Comparisons to other successful dual-threat QBs are not entirely accurate because AR is not as accomplished a passer as some of those other players. LaMar Jackson and Cam Newton were INCREDIBLE college passers. AR was not close their level as a passer.

He was a high-risk, high-reward pick. The Colts can try to constrain his running but in doing so, they put stress on the weakest part of his game.

If he could have gone in the second or third round to a team that didn't need him to play, he'd probably have evolved into a valuable player.

In this situation, he'll be lucky to be on the roster in year four.

None of this is his fault.
