It's no secret that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has completely surpassed all expectations surrounding the 2025 season. Fans and analysts alike were shocked to see him named the starter over Anthony Richardson, and predictions were that he would be a safe, boring quarterback who could execute an offense but not elevate it.
To put it simply, those predictions were incredibly wrong. Though many thought Jones would be a disaster and were ready to write the 2025 season off as a loss, Danny Dimes has instead been playing at an elite level. He's easily one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now, and yet, the MVP hype has not been nearly as high as it should be.
