“The Indianapolis Colts will improve, and so will their quarterback, Anthony Richardson.” That’s what fans and analysts believed heading into the offseason. But everything shifted in March when the team signed Daniel Jones. Suddenly, all eyes were on the veteran QB. He inked a one-year deal and brought 69 games of starting experience to the table. And with the Colts openly saying he’ll compete with Anthony Richardson for the starting role in 2025, the big question now is – who’s really going to lead this team?

No doubt, Richardson’s health has raised red flags. Ongoing back and foot issues, plus that odd moment when he gave up and left a game mid-drive last year just to catch his breath, didn’t exactly build confidence. It seems the Colts took notice. Bringing in Jones might be their way of saying they need someone they can count on. And this week, the team gave fans another reason to believe in him.

On Wednesday, the Colts posted a “Weekday work with @Daniel_Jones10” video on their official X account, showing Jones working out with tight end Mo Alie-Cox. In the clip, Jones fired a clean pass, and Alie-Cox made the grab like clockwork.

The chemistry already looks promising. If Jones keeps showing up like that, he might just take the lead job. Let’s see how this new duo shakes things up this season. On the other hand, earlier reports stated that Anthony Richardson will work out with MVP Josh Allen to improve his game.

So, it would be interesting to note how these two compete with each other to become the starter for the Colts. Until then, many fans are expecting Daniel Jones to pick up that no.1 spot!

Will Daniel Jones defeat Anthony Richardson?

Let’s face it – no matter who starts at quarterback for the Colts, this team just isn’t ready to make a real Super Bowl push. Last season, the offense sat right in the middle-nothing exciting, nothing terrible–but they barely touched 200 passing yards a game. They’ve got no elite wideout, and a few key pieces from the O-line are gone. Drafting Tyler Warren at tight end helps, maybe, but that’s not enough to fix things.

Anthony Richardson has raw talent, sure, he’s got a rocket arm and runs like a tank, but he’s inconsistent. His accuracy is rough, and that moment when he took himself out mid-game because he needed a break? That raised eyebrows. You don’t see other elite quarterbacks doing that. Then there’s Daniel Jones, whom the Colts just paid $14 million for one year. It’s wild because his numbers don’t scream starter – more interceptions (13) than touchdowns (10) lately, a history of sacks (208), and barely any spark.

He’s not elevating anyone, not changing games, just kind of… there. His ceiling? Maybe a game manager. And that’s not what this team needs heading into a new season filled with hope. But the time is still there, and Daniel Jones is ready to grind. That’s why fans believe in him, as retired NFL QB Ryan Fitzpatrick said, “Dude is gonna play really well this season.”

In addition, many also came up to support Daniel Jones for QB1 battle, as one wrote, “As a lifelong colts fan I think everyone can agree with me when I say this… DANIEL JONES IS QB ONE FOR YEARS TO COME!!” or another one commented, “Qb1 at some point this szn.” Besides that, a fan praised Jones’ throw as they said, “That was a beautiful throw.” Hence, like many, this social media user straightaway said, “As a Colts fan, I want Daniel Jones to be our starter all year.”

However, besides them, there were a few who showed their loyalty to Anthony Richardson. And this is still keeping the debate alive on social media!
