Jones' performance and Anthony Richardson's absence during OTAs and minicamp aren't going to determine the quarterback competition. In terms of getting a true evaluation during this time of the year, when there is no pass rush and receivers can run freely, well, that's difficult.

The Indianapolis Colts gave quarterback Daniel Jones a one-year, $14 million deal to compete for the starting job, and head coach Shane Steichen loves what he has been seeing from the 28-year-old signal-caller.

Maybe Jones can find success in a more stable situation, such as Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold did. Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said the team did their homework on Jones.
