'A Lot to Prove This Year': Colts Promise Different Season After Playoff Misses, New Ownership
MARION COUNTY, INDIANA, JUL 21 – Shannon Sharpe highlights Anthony Richardson's sub-50% career completion rate and injury concerns as Daniel Jones challenges him for the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback role.
- The Indianapolis Colts face a quarterback competition between incumbent Anthony Richardson and new signee Daniel Jones ahead of training camp starting July 23, 2025.
- Richardson's inconsistent passing and shoulder injuries over the past two seasons, including AC joint surgery and re-aggravation during OTAs, prompted the Colts to sign Jones to a one-year, $14 million deal for competition.
- Despite Richardson’s raw athleticism and 1,814 passing yards with eight touchdowns last season, his sub-50% completion rate and 13 interceptions compared unfavorably to expectations, generating warnings from analyst Shannon Sharpe and pressure within the franchise.
- Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon expressed confidence in Jones’ potential, noting that given his current stage and contract status, there remains opportunity for growth. Meanwhile, coach Shane Steichen commended Jones for quickly mastering the offensive system during June OTAs.
- The Colts must weigh Richardson's ongoing health and performance challenges against Jones' potential as they look to resolve the quarterback role during training camp through August 14.
