Colts Wire on MSNShane Steichen's early impressions of Anthony Richardson, Daniel Jones' play vs. Packers
Following the Colts vs. Packers preseason game, Shane Steichen shared his early impressions of Anthony Richardson's and Daniel Jones' play.
Indianapolis Colts quarterbacks Anthony Richardson Sr. and Daniel Jones produced solid outings against the Green Bay Packers.
As the Colts' star in Richardson has shown flashes, he is still competing against Jones, who has experience in the league with his time on the New York Giants, though it was an inconsistent stint. In the preseason loss to Green Bay, Jones would start the contest and played two drives, compared to the 23-year-old Richardson, who had the next three.
Given Richardson's injury history plus general concerns about his development stagnating because of the turbulent start to his NFL career, Indianapolis signed former New York Giants first-round pick Daniel Jones to a one-year, $14 million contract to push Richardson and compete for the starting quarterback job.
Anthony Richardson is making a strong case for the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback job over Daniel Jones after an impressive preseason showing against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday.
Anthony Richardson opened up on the Colts’ quarterback battle and shared how he would handle not starting Week 1.

If you ask assistant GM Ed Dodds, the answer is simple. "No," Dodds said in response to that question. Why does Dodds believe that? "He's young. He's talented and we knew it was going to be a long-term project," Dodds said. On the field this summer, Richardson has made clear strides with his overall accuracy and decision-making.
Richardson took a positive step on short and intermediate throws, but Daniel Jones also had a solid showing as the QB competition continues.
