The Indianapolis colts have had phenomenal quarters, including the temple of renown Peyton Manning and the former star Andrew Luck. However, there is always the bust project.
According to Illustrated sports,, In a play by Matt Verderame, the biggest bust of all time for the
Then, for the colts, the old selection of the Fourth Selection of 1982, Art Schlicter. Although it is over 40 years ago, the story behind Schlicter is interesting.
Here’s what Verderame had to say about it.
“Schlichter was supposed to be the obvious heir to Bert Jones often injured and talented.
Schlicter immediately turned out to be a bit of a bust. During the analysis of his career campaigns from start to finish, they indicate a signaleur who was not ready for the high time in the NFL.
Here are the metrics of Schilter’s short career:
-1982 | 3 games, 17/37 finished passes, 197 yards, 0 touched, 2 interceptions
-1983 | Suspended – game suspension
-1984 | 9 games, 62/140 finished passes, 702 yards, 3 affected, 7 interceptions
-1985 | 1 match, 12/25 passes finished, 107 yards, 0 affected, 2 interceptions
Absolutely brutal numbers for a fourth selection of the fourth, regardless of the decade or the year. Schlicter finished terribly with a meager 13 games played, 91/202 finished passes, 1,006 overtaking yards, three affected and 11 interceptions.
Schlicter had pure athletics in 1984, precipitating the ball 19 times for 145 yards on the ground, an average of 7.3 per tote and a score. However, it was not relevant enough to hide the other faults of his game.
There was clearly a raw talent, but he never materialized due to the mental weakness of Schlicter and his non-preparation for the defenses of the NFL. Playing the quarter-tree is to pass and live your profession, Schlicter was not close to this designation.
The current quarter-arre colts, Anthony Richardson It is not a waste like Schlicter, but he does not want to be considered a bust. Richardson took a step back in his second season of the NFL and will seek respect while stretching the new quarter-Arrière Daniel Jones.
Schlicter is a lesson that you cannot just be a raw talent and play in a professional quarter; It’s so much more. It is a positive, physical, financial and disciplinary positive action that makes the best leader for an offense under the center.
We will see if Richardson can ensure that something increases confidence in him while competing by competition with Jones for the right to start and direct the offensive attack by Shane Steichen.
