Who's winning the Colts' quarterback derby? I'll say Jones for now, but it could all still change

This is going to be a massively important week, especially for Richardson.

WESTFIELD -- We’re almost a month into the Colts Great Quarterback Battle, and I’m not sure we’re any closer to determining the identity of the Colts Game 1 quarterback than we were when camp opened in late July.

If I had to pick a slight leader in the clubhouse, I guess it would be Daniel Jones, if only because he survived the opening preseason game and Anthony Richardson lasted just six snaps before his pinkie finger on his throwing hand was dislocated.

To be perfectly honest, I’m not excited about either of the candidates.

You know the old saw about how when you have two quarterbacks, you really have none? I’m starting to think that may be the case he in Indianapolis.

Jones was solid but unspectacular, having completed 10-of-21 passes for 144 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in the preseason opener. Richardson, we know, can throw 60-yard bombs off his back foot – see the pass to Alec Pierce against the Texans last season – but A, he can’t stay healthy and B, he’s wildly inaccurate and inconsistent.

When Richardson got blown up by Baltimore’s David Ojabo on the play in which he was injured, my first instinct was to wonder why Shane Steichen didn’t play three members of his starting offensive line (Braden Smith, Quenton Nelson and Bernhard Raimann (check Bernhard spelling). After all, it seemed that the right side of the offensive line whiffed on Ojabo, who came as a free runner and blew up Richardson, whose gaze was cast elsewhere.
