Overview
- Quarterbacks coach Cam Turner praised Anthony Richardson’s effort but said his consistency is not yet where the team needs it.
- Head coach Shane Steichen said Richardson will prepare in meetings and practice like a starter because he is one play away.
- Defensive captain DeForest Buckner said the locker room will fully back Daniel Jones and emphasized everyone doing their job to elevate the quarterback.
- Steichen cited huddle command, decision-making, and veteran experience as the reasons Jones won the months-long competition.
- Jones is on a one-year, $14 million deal and posted a turnover-free preseason, while Richardson’s development has been slowed by injuries and limited game reps.
