I don't know. Some folks on here have drank enough Jones Kool Aid to believe he's a shoe in to be our day 1 starter and possibly our franchise QB for the next decade. Obviously I hope they're right (if AR doesn't take a big step fwd), but I'm certainly very skeptical of Jones.

Jones is objectively the better option, at least in terms of talent, upside, and athletic ability.
And if the Colts had wanted to resign Kelly, they would have done so. They have more than enough cap space.
They obviously decided to give Bortolini the job.
