Richardson had more than two years to master Steichen’s system, but it’s the second time the Colts chose to bench him in favor of a veteran free agent acquisition.

Shane Steichen explained why he chose Daniel Jones over Anthony Richardson as the Colts' starting quarterback.

Daniel Jones is an NFL starter once again. Jones won the Indianapolis Colts ’ quarterback job over Anthony Richardson, head coach Shane Steichen announced Tuesday. “He’s our starting quarterback for the season,” Steichen said. “I don’t want to have a quick leash on that. I feel confident in his abilities.”
