Colts’ Daniel Jones gets MVP take from Dan Orlovsky
Daniel Jones is having a great start this season with the Indianapolis Colts, leading the team to two consecutive wins. The seventh-year pro is looking as good as ever, and if he maintains this success throughout the entire season, Dan Orlovsky sees a potential MVP for Jones.
During a guest appearance on “Yahoo Sports Daily,” Orlovsky claimed that if the 28-year-old quarterback continues to play well, he could be in the MVP conversation by the end of the season. The famed NFL analyst likes the situation Daniel Jones is in with the Colts and explains how Jones can continue to play at a high level, even if he is a little skeptical right now.
“Is it sustainable? I’m 50/50 on this because I’ve seen Daniel play for a long time, and I’ve seen, in multiple situations, him not really perform in certain situations,” said Orlovsky. “But then I’m going, ‘Well, this is a new one,’ and so far it’s been awesome…. Daniel is not going to be Comeback Player of the Year; he’ll be in the MVP conversation if he continues to play like this. It’s not being hyperbolic.”
Through two games played with the Colts, Daniel Jones has thrown for 588 passing yards and two touchdowns while owning a 71.4% completion percentage. His 9.4 yards per attempt lead the league in that category. He’s also scored three rushing touchdowns to begin the season as well. Jones is playing incredibly efficiently, which is surprising to many based on how his tenure with the New York Giants ended.
The Colts signed Jones to a one-year, $14 million contract in the offseason. He became a free agent after the Giants released him after 10 games in the 2024-25 campaign. Jones did sign on to the Minnesota Vikings’ practice squad. However, he never saw the field. Daniel Jones’ signing with Indianapolis gave him a fresh start to his career.
He’ll aim to continue his success in Week 3 when the Colts take on AFC South rival, the Tennessee Titans. Indy aims to remain undefeated while Tennessee hopes to earn its first win of the season.
JJ McCarthy APOLOGIZES to Vikings Fans After Injury: “I Know I Let You Down, But I’m Fighting to Come Back Stronger”
In an emotional and humbling statement, Minnesota Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy has addressed the growing disappointment among Vikings fans after his injury sidelined him for crucial games. McCarthy, who had high expectations for his first season, expressed regret and promised to return stronger and more determined than ever.
“I know I let you down, and I take full responsibility for not being there when you needed me the most,” McCarthy said, his voice filled with sincerity. “I wanted to be out there leading this team, but now my focus is on my recovery. I will work relentlessly to prove myself again.”
McCarthy’s injury has been a major blow to the Vikings, especially with the growing frustrations surrounding their quarterback situation. Many fans have voiced their disappointment, some even lamenting the team’s decision to part ways with Sam Darnold. “Maybe we should have kept Darnold,” one fan tweeted in frustration, as the team struggles without a clear leader at quarterback.
But McCarthy remains focused on regaining his place and showing the fans that he’s the quarterback they can count on for the long run. “I’m not running from this,” McCarthy continued. “I’ll do whatever it takes to get back out there and help this team win. I owe it to you, the fans, to get back to full strength and show what I can do.”
As McCarthy works through his injury and focuses on his recovery, all eyes will be on his comeback story. Fans are eager to see if the young quarterback can fulfill the promise he showed early in the season and bring the Vikings back to playoff contention.
