Colts name Daniel Jones the QB1

Yeah it would be a different story if through camp Jones was clearly the better option. I’ve not seen any report suggesting that and I haven’t seen it in the preseason games either. You have the one play that is an issue, but reverse that play with the Jones fumbled snap (give jones the sack and AR the fumble) and I feel like certain people would use the fumble as an example of ARs issues. Jones has not been clearly better than AR. Maybe marginally better as a 6 year vet. He is who he is.

Exactly. If we could definitely say that Jones outperformed AR and not just maybe by a little bit then going with Jones wouldn't be an issue. Since they're been pretty close then you would think it makes sense to go w/ the high upside guy.

Yeah, you're probably right. I was thinking he'll probably end up having a season similar to '23 w/ Jones throwing to him, but if that happens then he'll probably want to go someplace else on a show me deal to try have a big year to cash in from.

I’m not sure they don’t see Mitchell as Pierces in house replacement.

I'm sure they drafted Mitchell with that thought, but they can't be happy with his non-stop biz decisions his rookie year and his dumbfuckery in the preseason.
