chemistry that a quarterback needs to have<\/a> with their head coach,\u201d Irsay-Gordon said, via the Indianapolis Star. \u201cI don\u2019t want to name any names, but there are situations where your head coach doesn\u2019t believe in your quarterback, I mean, you\u2019re kind of screwed. I think Shane and Daniel really align.\u201d<\/p>\nIrsay-Gordon thinks Jones provides the kind of leadership Indianapolis needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe quarterback is the CEO of our football team, basically,\u201d Irsay-Gordon said. \u201cI think it also helps our team to have an identity. It helps the coaches and people like Shane know, this is what we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Colts players completely supported bringing Jones back, according to the owner.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe rest of the team wanted Daniel back, too,\u201d Irsay-Gordon said. \u201cI think that\u2019s really important to listen to what the team is saying, too, because they know everything. People can laugh, but the players know, and I think their input is important. . . . Daniel, he\u2019s an amazing teammate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Irsay-Gordon believes Jones is eager to prove he can rehab from his torn Achilles and become an elite quarterback.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s given me pause, since we just signed him for a pretty good chunk of change,\u201d Irsay-Gordon said. \u201cDaniel, the fact that he has that work ethic, that mindset, and what I love about him, too, is we\u2019ve got this platform where he can go out there and prove what he wants to prove. It\u2019s good to have guys that have a chip on their shoulder in a good way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon says quarterback Daniel Jones has earned the full confidence of his teammates, his coaches…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":842605,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2059],"tags":[2005,7,2004,392,2381,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-842604","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-colts","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-indianapolis","11":"tag-indianapolis-colts","12":"tag-indianapoliscolts","13":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116317403524367657","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/842604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=842604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/842604\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/842605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=842604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=842604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=842604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
