The Colts have their starting quarterback on a rookie contract for the next 4 seasons, so the position is covered with him. Time and time again they have implied that AR showed enough for the Colts to think of him as the guy moving forward, and unless the injuries continue piling on, he will be the quarterback of the franchise for the next decade or so. We only have a season of proof, but Richardson suffered two injuries in just five games, so his long-term and game-to-game viability are heavily in doubt right now, which is why the Colts would be wise to have a stable backup behind him that can either come in on relief duty or start a couple of games and not completely derail the offense.
