I think Steichen might be trying to scare Richardson. Slap across the face to wake him up and get him to understand the gravity of the situation. That he is already playing for his career. I wouldn't be surprised to learn Richardson maybe doesn't get that and needs it.
QB is the most important position. Need and expect a level of maturity. Don’t think AR has that now. Whether he figures that out or not who knows. But he should realize how quickly nfl teams move off QBs even those drafted in the top 5.
Jets dumped Darnold after 3 seasons. SF dumped Lance at the start of year 3. AZ dumped Rosen after 1 season. Carolina benched Young as well by game 3 this season. Z Wilson was benched on and off in NYJ early.
If he doesn’t show what Indy expects they will move off him.
Teams need to stop drafting project QBs early. Especially those with minimal experience. Nfl is not the place to for him to be getting that. Should have gotten more college experience.
McCarthy and Maye were not and would not be day 1 starters with 2 years of starts in college. It’s a hard position.
