50 comments

1. jets have a chance for once

2. Richardson is very good and smart and the game he was tired he was running around for the last 5 times each down he is human and he can get tired but benching him is Busch league coaching at the least

3. Kimberly is so bad my god

4. No one on that table has ever played football. I feel we need people that actually played the sport to talk about it

5. This may be the worst take I ever saw.

6. Kimberly focus on getting a new wig

7. That team is better with Flacco. Yes he struggles two games. Richardson has struggled for ten games when he’s not hurt. He quit on his team, he should be finished for good.

8. They benched him for a game because he was still tired, now he's rested up and not tired 😂😂

9. I mean in this case anybody should be able to be “trained” to be a QB or NFL player for that matter. This whole thing like these people are different is a joke. There is a select few that are like that and imo these should be the only people in professional sports

10. Yeah they let Flacco throw us outta that +4 last week now they wanna think about the future agin 😂

11. Jeff Saturday talking Colts is always funny to me 😂

12. Anthony Richardson is literally the second worst NFL player in history, just barely behind Mac Jones.

13. The American people totally disagree with Kimberly.

14. As soon as I see Kimberly I immediately stop watching /listening. Her and Molly are unbearable

15. The tap-out motion was an unprecedented, horrendous look for a QB in the NFL. He was probably trying to signal to the world that he's a fan of MMA, and fighting in general, but ended up looking like a quitter a la Ryan Garcia taking a knee against Tank Davis.

16. Disfunction ahhh team

17. Kim is the type to tap out 😅

18. Saturday as an analyst is as good as he is as a head coach… And that's saying a lot

19. If the Colts just told the truth or told better lies this wouldn't have embarrassed them the way it has. The Truth – "We have to let him know quitting on the team is inexcusable, so we will be going with Flacco until further notice." or Better Lie – "We just want to make sure his conditioning is ok. He's never tapped out like this in his life and we need to be sure OUR guy is ok."

20. 911

21. Has there ever been a QB that was not good in college be good in the NFL?

22. developing a QB doesnt mean you have to play him.

23. A lesson?? Meanwhile Daniel Jones is still the starter? So do only black QBs need lessons Stephen A??

24. If the Jets lose this game……….

25. Colts are starting to give off panthers vibes

26. Honestly I could say the same thing with panther when they benched Bryce young. Is Andy dalton going to your future qb for the next 5 years? What are trying to do right now it’s not like you are going to the playoffs.

27. This is quite possibly the worst debate I've seen on FT in a long time. Definitely from Kimberly. I'm tired of people treating QBs like they need a pacifier. Sometimes football players get tired. That's why you need Running Backs! If he needs to take a rest let him rest for a game or 2, no big deal but the rookie can come back when he's ready. Get over it. STOP with the QB pacifiers.

28. At least he was honest about being tired. I’d be asking questions about the strength and conditioning coaches

29. Richardson is a Dawg give him a fair shake. Only one person at this particular table can relate. Shame on you Jeff for not being a little more assertive.

30. ngl I have a feeling Kimberly just started actually watching nfl

31. To tap out on your team is unacceptable and Flacco is still a superbowl quarterback vs a kid who isn’t aware of how serious the opportunity is. Every team is in a win now mode regardless of whom leads the team.

32. It helped Bryce Young

33. I love Kimberly and mikah Grimes.

34. Google is falsely reporting peyton manning as new head coach

35. STOP HAVING SHITBERLEY FARTIN RUINING THIS SHOW

36. Kimberly is the worst

37. Who’s this dumb woman?

38. Flacco should go to the Ravens so they finally have a real QB of some kind…

39. She's just like all the other minority females on any sports show anywhere. Full of attitude and red table takes on sports.

40. Please remove Kimberly Martin from this show! She makes no sense ever

41. I’ll say this, in two games Flacco threw 5 pics and they weren’t even considered competitive. Richardson had thrown 7 pics the whole season. That to me says a lot. Now that Flacco has thrown them out of a wildcard Berth, let’s continue on with the AR experiment – yes his percentage and ratings are abysmal but he’s essentially a rookie… Let him make the rookie mistakes so he can grow into his role on the team. He’s going to get better – just coach him up!

42. Colts are wild for this. You made your bed to say Flacco is your starter for the rest of the year, so stick with him. Yall ran AD through the mud about being tired, now Flacco ain’t Flacco-ing so now yall wanna go back. Yall thought Flacco was gonna lead them horses to the playoffs 😂

43. Should've let him rest forever

44. Get this lady out

45. Not gonna lie I was shocked flacco played poorly. But I did notice he likes to throw to the same dude too much. Easy picks.

46. Joe got blamed for all our losses (which he def. had a big role in) But now AR is back the fans can go back to blaming recievers, coaches, GM, defense, fans, refs, pretty much e eryone else other than AR.

47. I can do without all of her attitude, everything does not have to be 🙄 eye rollling and huffing n puffing

48. This kid went out for 1 play not the rest of that game,stop lying 😢

49. This what I'm saying dawg!!

50. Thank you Kimberly !!
