Part 3/8:
In the aftermath of this disappointing outing, Shane Steichen's stance of going through "the process" raises eyebrows. Steichen has repeatedly emphasized this "process," but many are left wondering what that entails. Many fans express frustration over Richardson's absence, especially as evidence mounts that Flacco might not be the answer. Questions loom around whether the Colts should be experimenting more with Richardson amidst a lackluster quarterback showing.
Steichen's process has been questioned vigorously in light of Flacco’s struggles. Many feel that the franchise’s future might be better served by giving Richardson more playing time, a chance to grow, and a real opportunity to prove his worth—or lack thereof.
