“DJ taking us to the playoffs”: Indianapolis Colts’ QB Daniel Jones will be trained by Jalen Hurts’ offensive head coach | NFL News
Jalen Hurts became an unstoppable force in his pursuit of the Super Bowl LIX title. Imagine the same kind of energy entering a different NFL player? Now add to that an open quarterback competition(with Anthony Richardson) – wouldn’t it all be too good a story to tell? Too good a player to be? Oh, wait. Add Jalen Hurts’ creative offensive head coach, Shane Steichen, to it. And it becomes, “DJ taking us to the playoffs!” as rightly written by one fan. 28-year-old Indianapolis Colts’ newest quarterback, Daniel Jones, is going to take the late Jim Asray’s team to the playoffs. But some fans don’t believe Daniel Jones can take the Indianapolis Colts to the playoffs – they say Jones shines in the offseason but crumbles during the regular season.
Everybody looks like a superstar before real games are played, commented one fan for Indianapolis Colts’ newest quarterback Daniel Jones
An X account shared a video of Daniel Jones’ classic QB throw with the caption: “Daniel Jones leaves and instantly starts throwing nice deep balls I’m done.”Fans commented on that X post with in-chorus reactions:
- Yeah bro its practice hero season for him. He’ll be trash or on a stretcher before September. He aint throwing Darts though
- Never had an issue with him throwing balls in SPRING PRACTICE like MOST QBs. Its when football actually turns into football thats his bugaboo
- He does this every offseason. Why we had false hope every year
- He always looked alright in practice but game time with pass rush he crumbled under the pressure
- He does this ts every year in camp
- The problem was never when he was in shorts
- He always looks solid in practice lol
- He always did in the off-season program and practice. Games came and he hid in his shell
- Everybody looks like a superstar before real games are played ! He fooled us 6 seasons in a row think I’m gonna fall for that now lmao
- He did this with the Giants too. The second it matters he crumbles
- My dude. Its practice. Danny Jones is the best minicamp qb ever
- That’s cuz it’s practice. He did that sh*t for us. Watch if he gets into actual live game action
- He threw nice deep balls during practice. Also, prior years before the injuries he also threw good deep balls
- Always threw a nice ball, in practice. his problem is processing under real game speed
- Always a good “in shorts” QB
Daniel Jones may shine in Indianapolis because their offensive line is better than the one he got in New York
On June 19, Jeffri Chadiha of NFL.com boldly predicted that Daniel Jones would win the Comeback Player of the Year. His reasons?
- A chance to compete for the starting quarterback position with a third-year veteran, Anthony Richardson.
- Richardson has been inconsistent ever since he was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts.
- Jones played with quarterback Sam Darnold in the Minnesota Vikings.
- Creative offensive head coach Shane Steichen, who turned the raw talent of Jalen Hurts into an MVP-caliber quarterback in Philadelphia, would coach Jones in Indianapolis.
- Steichen could maximize Jones’ talent in Indianapolis because he has a better offensive line there as compared to the one he had in New York.
