But let’s be real.
For the Colts, I really, really hope this move doesn’t mean much of anything.
They signed Daniel Jones to a 1-year deal.
Obviously they’re still holding out hope for Anthony Richardson.
We knew that was the case when they brought back Ballard and Steichen.
If Anthony Richardson gets hurt again this year, the Colts are going to need a backup.
As far as backup quarterbacks go, you could do worse than Daniel Jones.
But I don’t think that was ever really on the table.
Or of course there’s always nightmare scenario.
The scenario where Anthony Richardson gets hurt and Daniel Jones steps in and leads the Colts to the playoffs.
We sign him to another, longer contract.
We move forward with Ballard and Steichen.
But then next year we realize, “Oh that’s right… Daniel Jones actually does still suck.
Who could have seen that coming?”
Hopefully that’s not the case, but who the hells knows.
It has to be Anthony Richardson or bust for this current Colts regime.
I mean maybe he’s got some good seasons in him and they could make a playoff or two.
But it’s completely punting on the possibility of a Super Bowl.
yo don’t let that happen Anthony Richardson.
hey just get better.
I’d much rather tank with AR to go down that road.
