Heck of a good article.

I really hope that we "lucked" into a quality starting QB and not having to use a high draft pick. We don't need DJ to be Superman out there; just manage the game.

With our supporting cast right now, that is good enough to win it all.

If he can keep his fumbles and interceptions (which really haven't been an issue in my view) down everything else is right where we would want it. I keep harping on it but man having him and Shane seemingly connected at the hip is such a gift for this team

Ball security for sure needs to be harped on. There will be games where he gets beat up (ATL is blitz-crazy) and you just have to eat it sometimes. Can't fumble every time someone pats you on the ass like '22 Ryan.

And then Steichen and Jones need to adjust their strategy/calls vs. blitzes. Because that's coming for sure. OL actually still played well despite the high sack numbers recently, which is encouraging, because you can help with scheme.

I find it interesting that CBS is reporting that the Colts are not involved in contract talks with Jones at this time. Appear to be waiting until the season is over to initiate them. This decision is one that ownership is making (they have to be on board with giving QBs contracts). I like that they are waiting to see how this plays out before committing.
