Seems it is gonna be D Jones

Can't have him as the actual QB if he beats AR- if so, we stay in QB purgatory as he is not the long term answer. So I see it as a true means to push in hopes it forces AR to be better, and if he doesn't, then we just go full re-set next year at QB, HC, GM.

Really? Do you think that Steichen and Ballard, who's jobs are on the line, are just bringing Jones in to push Richardson?

I see no way that Irsay signs up for that strategy.

If Jones beats AR out for the starting position, barring a deep playoff run with DJ as the QB, Steichen and Ballard are going to get fired.

I just can't believe that three people with as much knowledge about football as Irsay, Steichen, and Ballard, would convince themselves there is a future for this football team with Jones as QB1 for anything more than spot duty in coverage for an injury. At best, we stay the 8-9, 7-10 football team we are for 2-3 years more with him as the QB, which means Q, Kenny, JT, Buck and Grover, are all washed. There is no way Ballard or Steichen can survive that.
