The Indianapolis Colts shocked the NFL today after head coach Shane Steichen announced that Daniel Jones would be their starting quarterback for the 2025 season, relegating Anthony Richardson to QB2. That decision was quickly panned by fans and analysts alike, who had all overwhelmingly seen Richardson as the better option.
In his press conference, Steichen said he wanted Jones to start because he brought more consistency to the quarterback position, but also oddly said that Richardson is "just a play away" from starting, insisting that he still has room to grow within the Colts organization. He also argued that Jones had no leash on his time as a starter and that he would be playing through the season.
