Colt is definitely loved by Jay now, but Jay never considered Colt in 2015. I think Jay would love to see Colt win the job this year, but he also knows Colt hasn't been able to stay healthy anytime he's given him a shot.
Jay is truly in QB competition mode now. He knows Colt knows the offense the best, he also knows Colt has never been durable. He also knows Haskins has nice ability but he's going to look like a rookie. And he also knows he needs to see a lot more of Keenum in his system before he can make a call.
Jay needs more information. As does everyone in the front office. They'll all wait to see how it plays out in camp and the preseason.

You're reading things into Jay's statement that simply isn't there.
That it was Jay's decision to make Kirk QB1.
The situation was discussed by Thom Laverro at length on the radio that Jay had a sit down with Dan and Bruce to get permission to bench RG3.
No one knows, including you, whether Jay ever had permission to start Colt over Kirk.
There is strong evidence that he didn't.
In Kirk's contract year, there was vocal frustration from Jay with how Kirk was operating the offense but Colt never saw the field.
It has been widely reported that Jay preferred Colt over Alex. Yet they traded assets for him and made him the starter without any competition. Alex struggled in Jay's offense and still remained the starter.
