Could 2026 Be the Year Richardson Shocks Everyone as the Colts’ Starting QB?
Lately, I’ve been deep into Stranger Things, and it got me thinking—what if Anthony Richardson somehow finds himself back under center for the Indianapolis Colts in 2026? Sounds wild, right? In the show, there’s this eerie alternate world called the “Upside Down,” a twisted mirror of reality. Well, in the NFL realm, Richardson starting for Indy feels just as unlikely… yet somehow not impossible. The blend of hope and harsh realities swirling around his future here is almost surreal. Bridges have been scorched, and the Colts’ blueprint visibly excludes him now. The public outburst with the benching was just the tip of the iceberg—behind closed doors, a dozen reasons pack the case against him. Toss in a big-money newcomer and a promising talent from week 18, and Richardson’s path back seems steeper than ever. Still, the question lingers: who would roll the dice on him, and what price tag accompanies that gamble? The Colts could settle for scraps or maybe, just maybe, hold onto a glimmer of hope if injuries strike at just the wrong time. But as of now, the odds he suits up again for Indy? Slim to none. He deserves another shot—no doubt—but perhaps not within those familiar blue and white colors any longer.
