"Daniel Jones is QB1 (for now). The Colts signed the ex-Giants/Vikings quarterback in free agency to challenge Anthony Richardson for the QB1 title in Indy, and Jones has already taken a significant lead in what was supposed to be a wide-open quarterback competition," Boyd wrote.

But for former Vikings QB, Daniel Jones, things seemed to be looking up, as The Athletic’s James Boyd wrote on Monday that he has taken a big step towards cementing himself as the Week 1 starter for the Indianapolis Colts.

Daniel Jones made the strange jump from a player who underwhelmed wildly on a pricey second contract to one who did not earn a backup job — after signing with the Vikings — into one who has the inside track to start for the Colts a year later.
