From the article

I have not been excited by how Daniel Jones has played this year, but I also know he has, can, and probably will play better... Paying Daniel Jones $90 million over two years means this staff is choosing to live or die by his performance.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Jones has played poorly but can improve; staff won't bench him given $90M commitment.

The source acknowledges Jones has played poorly through 4 games with horrific turnovers and fumbles plaguing his performance, but argues he can and probably will play better. The source notes that benching Jones is illogical given the Colts paid him $90 million over two years and the staff's job security depends on his success, not on reverting to Anthony Richardson. The source attributes some turnover issues to defensive pressure (strip sacks by Odafe Oweh and Will Anderson Jr.) rather than pure QB error, suggesting the underlying ability remains despite current poor play.
