Who Should I Start? Colt McCoy or Daniel Jones

Monday, August 19, 11:54 AM

Former NFL quarterback Colt McCoy has announced his retirement and will join NBC Sports for its Big Ten college football coverage. McCoy, a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist during his college career at Texas, set an NCAA Division I record with 45 career wins as a four-year starter from 2006 to 2009. He led the Longhorns to the BCS National Championship game in 2010, capping off a perfect 12-0 regular season with a Big 12 title. Drafted in the third round by the Cleveland Browns in 2010, McCoy amassed an 11-25 record over his 36 NFL starts. His final NFL stint was with the Arizona Cardinals in 2023, where he played in two preseason games before being released due to elbow issues. Over his career, McCoy also played for the New York Giants, Washington Commanders, San Francisco 49ers, and Cleveland Browns, finishing with 7,975 passing yards, 34 touchdowns, and 32 interceptions in 56 games.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones will get a much more difficult test in Week 2 when his team lines up with the visiting Denver Broncos. Jones was remarkable in his first start with the Colts, racking up 298 total yards and scoring three combined touchdowns -- a feat he'd accomplished just once in ten tries last season. He'll be put to task this Sunday, however, when the Broncos -- a top defensive unit in the league -- comes to town. The veteran looked excellent in Week 1, but whether that was more a product of his team's offense or the Miami Dolphins' defense will become clearer following Sunday. Jones presents as a fringe QB2 for now, but another solid showing and we'll have to start taking him seriously. He's RotoBaller's QB25 ahead of this week's slate of action.
