Daniel Jones Named Colts QB1 — Smart Floor or Franchise Panic? | Ep.116

Daniel Jones was named the Colts’ starter over Anthony Richardson. We break down whether this is a smart short-term floor play or the start of another QB carousel—and what it does to Richardson’s development clock.

What we cover

- Why staffs sometimes pick operation & protection over raw upside
- Age & reps: how many real games QBs usually need before they stabilize
- The Browns-style QB carousel tax and how teams waste prime rosters
- Best defense of the move (install speed, turnover control) vs. best indictment (ceiling capped, message to the locker room)
