The Indianapolis Colts<\/a> are under pressure to deliver a strong 2025 NFL season. One of the key issues they must address is the ongoing quarterback competition between Anthony Richardson<\/a> and Daniel Jones\u2014but the team\u2019s ownership may have just hinted at who has the upper hand.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the Colts selected Anthony Richardson in the first round of the NFL Draft. He entered the league with high expectations, often compared to Cam Newton due to his size, athleticism, and play style.<\/p>\n

Richardson was a different kind of quarterback than Colts fans were used to\u2014more mobile and dynamic. Unfortunately, that mobility also led to injury concerns, which limited his playing time and development.<\/p>\n

The Colts haven\u2019t had much luck at the quarterback position in recent years. Once home to legends like Peyton Manning<\/a>, the position has since become one of the franchise\u2019s biggest question marks.<\/p>\n

Richardson was supposed to be the long-term answer when he arrived in 2023. But so far, due to injuries and inconsistent performances, he hasn\u2019t lived up to those expectations.<\/p>\n

To create competition and depth, the Colts acquired Daniel Jones<\/a> this offseason. After a disappointing stint with the New York Giants, Jones is hoping to revive his career in Indianapolis and earn the starting role.<\/p>\n

However, Colts principal owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon\u2014who recently took over day-to-day control of the team\u2014has already hinted at which quarterback she prefers.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the upcoming QB competition, Irsay-Gordon referred to Anthony Richardson as her favorite, suggesting he\u2019s still seen as the team\u2019s primary option moving forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe drafted Anthony for a reason, and we believe in him,\u201d Carlie Irsay-Gordon told reporters on Tuesday. \u201cHe\u2019s incredibly talented, and sometimes when you draft players, they have rough starts, they have injuries, they\u2019ve got those things that they need to go through. But I think it\u2019s way too early to tell. . . .<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s \u2014 he has all the potential in the world, and if he wants to prove it, he can. And he will, if he wants to.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Indianapolis Colts are under pressure to deliver a strong 2025 NFL season.
