Colts name Daniel Jones the QB1

I thought Jones had one of his worst games yesterday. Threw a really bad interception and had another equally bad throw dropped by Budda Baker.

Both throws were awful.

Agreed. However he led two late drives for TDs and engineered a 80+ yard drive after his pick. His deep balls (especially the one to Pierce) were NOT under thrown-so in some aspects his game is improving. I was pretty down on Jones at first, thinking he was another guy to keep us middling. I was happily wrong. He is proving he doesn't need his best game, or the teams best, to win. Plus we are relevant, although I think Warren has as much if not more to do with that than anything.

In what wound up being a big test for Jones, he came through in a game in which the Colts' defense was not good ....... yet another good sign from the veteran QB who appears to have resurrected his career with the Colts.

That throw to Pierce late in the game that got the Colts to first and goal was a franchise QB level throw.

One of the markers of a good team is that they can win games where they don't play their best. Yesterday was probably the most confident I felt with the Colts down late in a game since the Manning era.

That is true. Yesterday was Jones' worst game of the 2025 season ....... but that says more about how well he has played so far this season than it does about his deficiencies.

He was 22-for-30 with 2 TD's passing, 1 TD rushing, 1 INT, and a rating of 101.0. If yesterday was a "bad" game for Jones, then his floor is pretty darned high.
