00:00But Donnie, a very intriguing move made by Indianapolis.
00:04They get Daniel Jones on a one-year $14 million deal.
00:08Funny enough, regardless of how you feel about Danny Dimes,
00:12he was a quarterback in the market that many teams were intrigued by where he would go.
00:17Would he remain in Minnesota to provide that veteran experience for J.J. McCarthy?
00:22Would he go somewhere else to compete for a starting job?
00:25Finds his way to Indianapolis.
00:27No longer a $40 million man, but a $14 million man for the Colts.
00:34And the interesting part about this too is when you look at Daniel Jones is,
00:38he's a great locker room guy.
00:39So you figure he's the perfect bridge quarterback for a team that's building a bridge to
00:44down the line in a couple years, which means you'll bring him in, he'll stink a quarterback,
00:48but he'll be a good locker room guy, set a good example,
00:50but you won't win many football games because he's your quarterback.
00:53This is interesting here because now you take a look at Indianapolis that goes,
00:56we drafted a young, promising quarterback that everybody knew, including ourselves.
01:00If we can harness this talent, this guy could be able to set the league on fire in a year or two.
01:05You saw the talent right away, but then you started seeing the warts.
01:08Like, okay, we understand he's not accurate.
01:10We'll try to fix that.
01:11Didn't work out.
01:12And then you sort of got those leaks from the head coach and the general manager.
01:15This kid's not even putting in the time, like in the off season,
01:18this guy's not putting in the time in the work week.
01:20We got to actually sit him down mid season.
01:22And then they put a camera in the kid's face.
01:24Like, I don't even know why I was benched at this point.
01:25You knew there was a massive disconnect.
01:27So over the next couple of weeks, mid season,
01:29he shows up probably early and puts his time in.
01:32They let him play quarterback again, but it's apparent.
01:34Injury prone, doesn't run the offense and ineffective from the pocket.
01:38That's not a long-term decision.
01:40This is danger territory now for Anthony Richardson,
01:42where it looks like the Indianapolis Colts all but giving up on him saying,
01:46kid, you got one more chance to do this.
01:49We'll probably give you four or five weeks.
01:51If you show the same tendencies over the past couple of years,
01:54we're just going to pull the ripcord.
01:55We'll go Daniel Jones.
01:56He's on a one-year deal.
01:57We'll move on for you and Daniel Jones,
01:59and we'll eventually find our successor and hopefully our franchise guy.
02:02But he got paid Daniel Jones just a little bit more than a backup quarterback,
02:06which means if things go wrong early,
02:08he's going to be the starting quarterback in Indy.
