The Indianapolis Colts are near the top of a category that teams don’t want to rank highly in, and it revolves around the quarterback position.
According to ESPN’s Stephen Holder, since Andrew Luck retired in August of 2019, the Colts have had 10 different quarterbacks start a regular-season game, and this does not yet include Daniel Jones.
Compared to the rest of the NFL, this is tied for the third-highest mark with Denver and New Orleans, with only Cleveland and Washington having more with 11 each.
Holder adds that of those five teams, the Saints are the only one with a winning record during that span.
As we know, quarterback stability is the name of the game in the NFL, and the Colts haven’t had that. It’s also difficult to see how they find that, given their current situation.
If Jones gets the Colts to the playoffs in 2025, then perhaps he receives a new contract for the 2026 season and beyond. However, at least at this time, even if things play out that way, it’s fair to wonder how high the Colts’ ceiling is in this scenario.
As far as Anthony Richardson’s long-term outlook with the team goes, once he wasn’t made the starter, that path became quite murky.
