Since the Colts put Jonathan Taylor on the physically unable to perform list Tuesday, Indianapolis general manager Chris Ballard was asked how this ongoing situation with their star running back will affect the team dynamic.
Specifically, people are wondering if Taylor’s situation will hinder rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson’s growth at all. Ballard gave quite the interesting answer—to say the least—to that question, and fans aren’t too happy with the response.
“Look, when you don’t have a great player... but, I don’t think it stunts his growth. No, not at all,” Ballard said on Wednesday. “I don’t know, did it stunt Andrew [Luck’s] growth without a special back?”
