Turner explained why he has the utmost confidence in Jones' capabilities at quarterback, per The Athletic's James Boyd.
"I would say his decision-making and the trust with him where the ball's in the right spot, the right time, and he's proven it through the spring, OTAs, through training camp," Turner said. "It's just the consistency. You know what you're getting, you trust the decision-making, and the accuracy has been very good."
Jones, who was released by the Giants midseason last year after five inconsistent seasons throughout his NFL career, earned an opportunity with the Colts during the offseason. Jones went 2-8 in his final year with the Giants, throwing for 2,070 yards with a 63.3% completion rate and a 47.8 QB Rating. However, the Colts are confident things will be different amid a new environment and a second opportunity throughout the 2025 NFL season.

After a disappointing 2024 season for Anthony Richardson, the Colts announced Jones as their QB1 . Richardson, who was benched midseason last year, his second with the Colts, it was apparent that a drastic change was in order, which led to Indianapolis bringing in Jones for an opportunity to compete for QB1. The third-year quarterback dealt with injuries in his first year in the league.
While he saw a cleaner bill of health last season, Richardson struggled heavily as the full-time starter. He finished with a 47.7% completion rate, which led to lingering concerns about his accuracy.
