looks like we will be giving him a big deal this offseason now that we traded away 2 1st round picks

Jones would be crazy to leave, and we would be crazy for letting hims go.

I’m still pissed we didn’t get moneymaker when he was available but Danny has been good for us. Hoping last week was an anomaly.

I've said before that I believe that Daniel Jones will do everything that he can to remain with the Colts in 2026 and beyond ....... he caught a lot of shit when he was playing for the New York Giants in the first 6 seasons of his career, and I think that he's smart enough to know that his legacy is more important than a few million dollars one way or the other ...... he made $108 Million while playing for the Giants between 2019 and 2024, and he's getting another $14 Million this season playing for the Colts. That's a grand total of $122 Million ...... Jones is a brainiac who originally committed to Princeton and wound up going to Duke, so he presumably has enough wisdom to know that remaining in a situation that is leaps and bounds superior to the one that he was mired in for 6 seasons in New York is more important than a few extra million dollars on the free-agent market.

So in my rat's of an opinion, Jones will be staying with the Colts in 2026 (presuming that the Colts remain on the successful track that they are currently on for the remainder of the 2025 season.)

I think it's going to be a challenging week for Jones. He has to be carrying a pile of baggage with him from the Giants.

It's a challenging week for Steichen, he needs to get his QB back on track, and he needs to get his own shit together. His game plan against the steelers was novel, wasn't working and he just stuck with it.

He has opened, I think almost every game, by being very pass happy for the majority of the 1st half. Maybe he needs to flip the script on that?

I looked back at my earlier thought and it seems like DJ will get us a lot more than 1 or 2 more wins, mea culpa.

(vs. FALCONS, 11/09)



Jones's pass-protection from the offensive line was awful today, but I also think that he showed a lack of pocket-presence on several occasions ...... late in the first half, the Colts had 2nd-and-1 near midfield. Jones took a sack to put them in a near-impossible 3rd-and-11 with the clock running. He needed to get rid of the ball for an incomplete pass to stop the clock and save the yards, and the Colts still would have been in good shape at 3rd-and-1 ....... also with the fumbles, he was lucky that he didn't lose 2 today, as one of his fumbles very fortuitously fell out of bounds before the Falcons could recover it.

A. I don't know what has happened in the last two games but our O-Line is getting beat by A LOT more pass rushers.

B. We are beginning to see the Daniel Jones that the New York fans saw for seven years.

C. That DOES NOT mean that DJ cannot be saved. We need to use the bye week to figure out what has changed and get back to what worked earlier in the season.

I don't like seeing DJ try to carry the load. He's not as seasoned as JT and he's not as good.

Great time for the bye week as other have said.

It could be too that we have put a lot down on film that other teams have been game-planning against.
