Daniel Jones, Anthony Richardson leaving Colts with impossible decision

Richardson finished 6-of-11 for 73 yards. It's undeniable that he has more upside, but Richardson remains an all-or-nothing prospect, capable of making sensational throws yet also possessing some glaring deficiencies.

Neither quarterback has made enough plays to make head coach Shane Steichen's job of naming a starter any easier. Earlier this week, he told Colts.com he was still undecided about the Week 1 starter "but sooner rather than later would be nice."

Per Pro Football Focus data, Jones has gone 17-of-32 (53.1%) for 245 yards (7.7 yards per attempt) through two preseason games. He has a 9.1 percent pressure-to-sack rate and a mediocre 78.3 passer rating. (Average is 79.15)

Meanwhile, Richardson is 8-of-14 (57.1%) for 95 yards (6.8 yards per attempt) while taking two sacks on seven pressures (28.6%). His passer rating? 78.

Richardson's numbers would look better with his big pass play to Gould, but Jones would also benefit without his four drops, tied for the most this preseason.

"Competition brings out the best in everybody," general manager Chris Ballard said during an appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show" in May. 

That hasn't been the case so far. At least, Indianapolis better hope so. Because if this is Jones and Richardson's best, it's not nearly good enough.
