Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is an interesting player. He isn't without athleticism, but he certainly doesn't have the raw skill of Anthony Richardson. Jones does have a better feel for where the ball needs to go on any given play than Richardson, though.
This doesn't mean Jones should be Indy's QB1. Playing their best (if that were to ever consistently happen), Richardson's arm strength and running ability would outweigh Jones's higher football IQ. AR5 creates explosive plays, while Jones is more likely to check down.
In a recent article predicting each game of the NFL season, Sports Illustrated's Conor Orr gives Colts fans a bit of hope by believing the team will go 9-8 in 2025.
