These are my thoughts as well.Brissett is playing for 6 more years of backup qb money while holding a clipboard 15 games a year and playing 2.
100% agree, except he was too young in NE, but he learned allot. He has gotten better over the years and is an extremly average at best qb. But he plays safe, is smart, tough, and knows how to read a defense.
Get the defense healthy with the long time between games, letBrissett suprise with his averageness, lol
These are my thoughts as well.
Brissett is basically the best-case scenario for what you want in a back-up QB:
Good enough to win you games if called upon a few games a year, but not young enough with potential, nor good enough, to create a QB controversy or pushing for a trade to start elsewhere.
A type of guy you can pay reasonable money to, who is a good locker room presence, and at the very least won't lose games for you if coming in off your starter's minor injury in the 3rd or 4th quarters.
It's that sweet spot for a great back-up: A 28-33 year-old sometime starter who at best would rank in the lower teens amongst QBs.
Baker will also always agitate to start, and barring that as a possibility, will be disgruntled and push to be traded.He is a Ryan Fitzpatrick level qb. Completely different games, but simular levels.
I also know Brissett is really well liked by his teammates. This cant be stated enough as an importatn quality for a back up qb. Has to have that type of personality that teammates rally around.
Baker, for example will make a terrible backup for this reason, just not well liked.
I am the rare person who likes both the original edit and the Snyder cut.I prefer this post with this amazing sentence than with any potential corrections. Far more colorful.
We don’t drive looking in the rear view mirror.god damn it would be nice to be 3-0
Let’s get to 3-1 next Sunday.. I think we all can agree that 4-0 was going to be tough to do with a backup Qb
god damn it would be nice to be 3-0
For my sanity I’m gonna just imagine that we deserved to lose Game 1 and should have clearly won Game 2
3-1 would be a really solid start.
This is great Ty I will use this for my coping needsFor my sanity I’ve convinced myself that we wouldn’t have had that players only meeting emphasizing pre-snap communication had we beat the Jets. So the defensive woes would have come to a head and we would have lost last night.
We all have our ways of coping.
Good way of looking at it. Guess I'd rather tank a game to the Jets instead of the Steelers.For my sanity I’ve convinced myself that we wouldn’t have had that players only meeting emphasizing pre-snap communication had we beat the Jets. So the defensive woes would have come to a head and we would have lost last night.
