Colts name Daniel Jones the QB1

[YDFL Commish]

To quote Bill Parcells, "You lose with potential, you win with performance".

The best one from Parcells is, "Potential means you haven't done anything yet".

I'd rather trade Daniel Jones, there's no upside or hope with him. Roll will AR, Leonard and Bean. I hate this decision so damn much. Just a middle of the road bullshit team again. I love the Colts, but I really hope this blows up in Ballard's and Steichen's faces. I hope the fans boo the hell out of them at games. I have literally no excitement or enthusiasm for this team now. What a piss poor regime the Colts have become. AR has played 39 games total in college and the NFL. Give him a chance this year. See how he does cowards. Daniel Jones is a boring ass QB and not going to take the Colts far at all. Again, medicoricy is all that Ballard and Steichen have given us. Fuck them!
First time in many years I am not looking forward to watching my Colts, thanks Ballard and Steichen, shitheads.

Maybe Jones will prove me wrong. God I'm hoping he does, I want something to root for this year. But the Colts don't feel special enough to do a lot with just mediocre QB play, and it's hard to envision Jones being better than that. Hell, he got benched for Tommy DeVito in his career.

Richardson may give you horrible QB play. In fact, the odds are he probably will. But I'd rather roll the dice on the off chance you hit snakeyes and he goes out there and throws 60 yard bombs to players or runs for 200 yards a game.

The bad part about Richardson is that the style he is best suited to play is the style his brittle body will not allow him to play.

Sure, he makes amazing plays now and then but he will INEVITABLY end up getting hurt. It’s impossible to build any sort of continuity with him at quarterback.

It’s a never ending cycle of he shows potential, makes a breathtaking play, sucks ass, and then gets hurt.

First time I've seen Nelson whine. It reminds me of Kelly. NBC

Nelson admitted to reporters after the announcement that it has been frustrating that the Colts have had to keep changing quarterbacks throughout his career.

“I would say so. I think I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t [frustrating],” Nelson said, via James Boyd of TheAthletic.com. “You look around the league and see just the consistency of having a Patrick Mahomes or a quarterback behind you that’s been the franchise player for years and years and years, and getting to build that chemistry with that quarterback year after year is something that there is an advantage to when it comes to O-line play.

“So, to answer your question, yeah.”

No indication here that he thinks it's the wrong decision, but for a guy that is usually all business and doesn't share much, I find his response curious. Perhaps even resentful?

I preferred AR as a starter to help him develop. That said, I hope Jones can be the next Sam Darnold and the next Trent Dilfer/Brad Johnson.

There is no way you can be a member of this organization, a player in particular, one that has numerous years under your belt and is regarded as one of the cornerstones of the franchise, and not look at this train wreck and just fucking HATE the guys in the corner offices. These two fuckheads have completely trashed this fucking org. They seem to have zero strategic thinking capabilities and just go with a "fuck it, let's just see what this looks like tomorrow" approach. When it doesn't work, one just blabbers and speaks condescendingly toward anyone and everyone while the other one just spews layers and layers of non-specific buzz word bullshit over and over!

I have had my share of bitterness and resentment toward numerous people with this organization stretched across the long ass time I have been a fan. I have NEVER had this much contempt for two people as I have for Ballard and Steichen. It makes me sick to say that they are the shot callers for this once proud team, they are a disgrace! The day they are both gone, which I predict will be in November, will be a fucking great day for the shoe!

I was hoping they would go after Will Howard or Dillion Gabriel, they could have had either. Gabriel is a fun guy to watch and a hell of a competitor, short in stature but I think he will have a nice career.

I think Steichen thinks Jones is capable, with JT and Giddens, of running a ball control offense that can score enough points to win lots of close games and if the defense is improved enough he may be right? That was something I thought Matt Ryan could do and we know how that worked out. Maybe Jones can do what Ryan couldn't?

What do you call Ballard and Steichen ??

At least then, they’d have their pick of quarterbacks.

But that’s not going to happen. They’ll win 6-9 games, miss the playoffs again, and we’ll be right back here in this same situation next season.

It’s just SO frustrating.

The " March for Arch " has officially begun !!!

No other QB in football plays like Steichen had AR playing those first years. A combination of rb/qb with plays called where AR actually is the primary running back where you guarantee he gets hit. Running backs do not have the mindset of protecting themselves. It must be tough to switch that on and off, impossible for an inexperienced dude. The more you get hit, the greater the chance you get hurt.

And since when has this Jones guy been this consistent precise QB? If he was he would still be in NY.
