Colts name Daniel Jones the QB1

I am not sure that Jones was the real problem with the Giants, they were just a truly terrible roster from top to bottom in his last few seasons. I don't think Mahomes would have been able to get that roster to above 500. I like Chris Simms and he is a massive Giants fan, he was always saying that Jones was a long way down the list of reasons why the Giants were so bad.

I am not saying Jones is some superstar QB, but he had no weapons besides Barkley, and an offensive line that could barely block against thin air.

I also believe that AR doesn't allow Steichen to run the playbook that is needed for the players on offense at our disposal. Tyler Warren looks like he is going to be a special player, but i am not so sure that AR is or will ever be able to utilise that skillset. He just can't read a defense properly and predict when players are about to become open, and throw in the middle of the field. He wants the players to be wide open before he throws the ball. He has very limited anticipation skills.

Pierce may very well take a hit as AR was good at the deep ball, but i think Jones will give a huge hike in the production of Downs and Pittman because his ball placement is just better, and will allow more RAC yardage.

In terms of being able to "win now" this is a no brainer of a decision to go with Jones and the Colts have a roster that when healthy, looks as if it could be fun to watch on both sides of the ball and should be competitive.
