Default Colts name Daniel Jones the QB1

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.

My guess is that they think AR needs another year to develop, and Jones gives him the best chance at success this year. It scares me to think of Daniel Jones as our quarterback at the future.

It’s a continuation of the stupidity of the Ballard regime. It cannot be over quick enough.

Such a dumb move. Oh well, so it goes.

Playing for mediocrity is in the blood of this organization. Don't think I can stomach watching this again. So I guess a really exceptional season is sneaking into the playoffs and one and done again. I am not sure how any of these players can possibly get pumped for this season. What a shit show. Is there a more poorly run team?

I am surprised, I thought Jones was better in preseason but not by a wide margin. I wonder if AR has any trade value?

At least at this point, no male cheerleaders!

The current regime is scared, as they should be. This decision makes me ill. AR gives me a lot more hope than that mediocre hack DJ. AR is just a more exciting player with massive potential. Suck it up cowards, and give AR one more year. Yep, another wasted year from Ballard and company.
