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.
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing insights like this. And why don't you please try on the nutrition and weight issue. I'd hate to lose you.
Maybe your wife will even be more accommodating to ease your aches if you make some changes in support of her (unless she's just waiting on some insurance?).

None of this is his fault.
Wow!.......You still have viable ass muscle!? I'm so jealous!!
Loved the article!
Great humorous column Bob. Can relate unfortunately.
Wow. Even I’ve never pulled my ass!
Maybe, but you injured your thumb golfing, if I remember correctly lol.
And, Coach Dungy and his wife were there. Son on the team. Quiet Strength.
Good stuff Bob.
Butler homecoming was fun yesterday. Like IU, they have a program now.

I was looking at my bowling ball in a cabinet the other day and wondered if I should give it to my son. Decision made. (Butt) pain free decision.
I knew it!!
Too funny
