Stampede Blue on Anthony Richardson
From the article
Anthony Richardson's career was on life support... Richardson is doing his best to make the Colts reconsider sending him on his way... If he can beat out Leonard and gain that second slot, the improbable becomes reality... he will be one injury away from potential redemption.
STACKED’s take
Richardson has a legitimate path to QB2 if he beats Leonard and stays ready for injury opportunity.
Richardson's career was on life support after the Colts sought trade partners, but he has a legitimate chance to make the roster as QB2 in 2026. The source notes that if he beats out Riley Leonard for the backup slot, "the improbable becomes reality." A strong preseason outing against the Patriots gave him signs of life, and he is one injury away from potential redemption if he can regain that form and Leonard continues to underperform. However, the source emphasizes this requires multiple conditions: Leonard must continue to look subpar, Richardson must turn in quality work going forward, and he cannot waste the opportunity if given a chance, as this may be his last shot to resurrect his NFL career.
