He’s proven nothing IMO. DJ has more reason to believe the Colts are the right fit for him than AP does.

Holder explained it like this-the Colts have decided that Jones is their guy going forward, whether we like it or not. Once they made that decision, the choice of who to tag became clear, just based on the positional value. You make sure you keep your starting quarterback first, then the wide receiver.
If you view it through that lens, they made the right choice. It also tells us that a long term deal with Jones is still coming, regardless of whether they are able to keep Pierce.
As someone who does not think Jones is the answer at quarterback, I think they’re nuts.
