The Daniel Jones Hate Is Just A Bit Out of Control

Stampede Blue argues that while quarterback Daniel Jones has struggled severely with the Indianapolis Colts, the front office deserves the primary blame. Jones has managed only two wins against nine interceptions, ranking 32nd in passer rating. However, the writer contends that excessive public criticism ignores systemic roster deficiencies, notably a lack of receiver speed and depth following injuries and offseason departures.

The analysis points out that opposing defenses frequently run base personnel against the Colts' 11 personnel sets, openly disrespecting the passing game. Compounded by penalties, special teams miscues, and poor defensive play, the writer argues that the front office failed by expecting Jones—who is recovering from an Achilles injury—to elevate an unsupportive offensive structure.
