Colts OC Jim Bob Cooter sends strong message about Daniel Jones

Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter made it known Tuesday that quarterback Daniel Jones has the full support of the coaching staff despite the team's recent offensive mishaps.Cooter drew attention to the entire offense needing to progress around Jones rather than placing the blame solely on the veteran quarterback."We're behind Daniel 100%. We gotta go play better around him. That'll help him play better. Different players on our offense have different tools that have the ability to go help us," Cooter said, according to The Athletic's James Boyd.#Colts OC Jim Bob Cooter on QB Daniel Jones:“We’re behind Daniel 100%.
