The Colts are naming Daniel Jones their starting quarterback, per sources.

After a training camp competition with Anthony Richardson, Jones — the former Giants starter — gets the ball Week 1 vs. Miami.

Coach Shane Steichen informed the quarterbacks this morning of his decision.

Well, that’s most likely the end of the AR experience in Indy.

I had a feeling this would be the result. I think Steichen is done with AR and has been since last year.

I think Steichen believes he can coach around Jones shortcomings.

I see another 5-7 win season, a whole new regime next year, and still no answer at quarterback.

Good Lord this sucks.

I have my doubts if Jones can last an entire season without being injured. He has had his fair share of injuries over the years - torn ACL, a couple of neck injuries, various hamstring and ankle injuries, etc.

I would bet that someone else will start games at QB1 for the Colts this year besides Jones.

Aaron Rodgers' first season with the Jets ended after 4 plays ........ football such a rough sport that an occurrence such as that is not unusual.

This may be the end of Anthony Richardson's experience in Indianapolis, but I wouldn't bank on it.

Any chance we can trade AR for like a 3rd or 4th round pick? Maybe Seattle might want him? Have him sit behind Geno for a while? Just spitballin' here.

Wow.... simply wow. The amazing fixation on staying mediocre and not rolling the dice is now sadly confirmed. I only hope that I am way off base and wrong here. Happy to have my plate of crow with some extra salt if needed.

Trade him to Cleveland for Shedueur or Gabriel.

And I’m only half kidding when I say that.

Don't want anything to do with Shedueur. Getting him means getting Deion, and Deion is an ass and hates the Colts. I don't know anything about Gabriel.

Geno is in Oakland. I wouldn't trade AR. He's 23, and no one is going to give you anything close to what you invested in him. Give him time, let him learn. It seems like that's what the Colts are finally doing, 2 years too late.
