Sources: Colts tab Jones as Week 1 starting QB
Briefly

The Indianapolis Colts have concluded their quarterback competition, selecting veteran Daniel Jones as the Week 1 starter instead of rookie Anthony Richardson. Jones was signed in March, and the Colts anticipated a competitive environment for the starting role. Although Richardson showcased potential during training camp, his injuries and inconsistencies led to this decision. Head coach Shane Steichen emphasized that factors like communication and consistency in the huddle were crucial in the selection process, providing Jones with a significant chance to revive his struggling career after his release from the Giants.
The Colts signed Jones in March to a one-year, $14 million contract, anticipating an open competition between the former New York Giants quarterback and Richardson.
Some minute factors will loom large in the decision, according to Steichen, including operation, communication in the huddle, and consistency.
This decision gives Jones an ideal opportunity to resurrect his career after his abrupt and unceremonious end with the Giants.
