Colts All-Pro talks team's frustrating quarterback situation after Daniel Jones earns starting job

Chris Broussard unveils his "Under Duress" list, highlighting three players feeling the heat, with Anthony Richardson topping the list. Can the Indianapolis Colts' QB prove he's the franchise guy, or will doubts continue to rise?

Indianapolis Colts All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson was selected No. 6 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft and has been through all the ups and downs when it comes to the quarterback position.

Andrew Luck, Jacoby Brissett, Brian Hoyer, Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan, Sam Ehlinger, Nick Foles, Gardner Minshew, Anthony Richardson and Joe Flacco each started at least one game since Nelson entered the league.

So, when the Colts announced on Tuesday that Daniel Jones would be the Week 1 starter over Richardson, who was supposed to be the future of the franchise, fans could understand Nelson’s frustration.

"I would say so. I think I'd be lying if I said it wasn’t," Nelson said when asked whether the lack of consistency had been frustrating to him, via The Athletic. "You look around the league and see just the consistency of having Patrick Mahomes or a quarterback behind you that's been the franchise player for years and years and years, and getting to build that chemistry with that quarterback year after year is something that there is an advantage to when it comes to O-line play. So, to answer your question, yeah."
