As we prepare for the Las Vegas Raiders to visit the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, it seems many fans would rather have the Colts quarterback than their own.
Both veteran quarterbacks Geno Smith and Daniel Jones are acquired this offseason.
The Raiders traded a third-round draft pick to the Seattle Seahawks for Smith and then gave the 35-year-old a a two-year contract extension worth $75 million with $66.5 million in guaranteed money. Jones signed with the Colts as a free agent on a one-year, $14 million deal.
So far, Jones has worked out much better for the Colts than Smith has for the Raiders. Jones has led the Colts to a surprising 3-1 record and he has completed 71.9 percent of his passes and has thrown just two interceptions. Meanwhile, Smith leads the NFL with seven interceptions thrown and has struggled in the past three games, all losses for the 1-3 Raiders.
We asked our community members this week which quarterback would they rather have leading the Silver and Black.
It wasn’t close as three quarters of the voters would rather have Jones than Smith.
It’s not a surprise. Recency bias is a thing. The truth is, before the season, many Raiders fans would be upset if they signed Jones instead of trading for Smith.
Perhaps after Sunday’s game, Smith will change some minds.
