The more we hear from Colts GM Chris Ballard and coach Shane Steichen, the more it seems like there will be a true battle for QB1.

However, tight end is the biggest remaining requirement to check off every box. Steichen can use a target for the middle of the field and short pass game for Richardson, and that will also be addressed in the upcoming NFL draft to have a young tight end hopefully blossom with the former Florida Gators QB.

Colts coach Shane Steichen explained how he would split snaps in practice between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones in Colts QB competition

Colts coach Shane Steichen: "It's gonna come down to who’s the most consistent and who’s the most productive."

Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson will be splitting the starting quarterback reps beginning at OTAs, and the most consistent player will be the Indianapolis Colts' regular-season starter, said head coach Shane Steichen on Monday,

Everyone knows how it will go from here. Jones inevitably will become Steichen’s Week 1 starter, barring Richardson making a dramatic leap in efficiency during this offseason competition.

Head coach Shane Steichen further confirmed that on Monday, saying that Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones will split reps with the first team in the spring. "It'll start in the spring. They're gonna split the (starting) reps through spring practice and going into training camp,

Jones has his own shortcomings and is highly unlikely to ever be anything more than a low-end starter or solid backup, but superior accuracy on short passes is one clear edge he has over Richardson, along with a better track record of availability (although that hasn't exactly been a strength for Jones either).

Despite planning ahead for the potential exit of some of their starting offensive linemen, don't expect the Indianapolis Colts to be done adding to the group.
