Jacoby Brissett: Class Act

[Surge]

Give the dude his flowers for the last drive, but just spike the fucking ball man.

I love Jacoby Brissett as a person, but he was helped out tremendously by opposing penalties yesterday. I am really hoping he can play better than what he showed yesterday.

Lloyd: Baker Mayfield, breakups and Browns sweating until the end vs. Carolina

The Browns still have massive questions at quarterback. They could’ve had 31 points at the half with even competent quarterback play.

The Browns still have massive questions at quarterback. They could’ve had 31 points at the half with even competent quarterback play, but Brissett missed a wide-open Amari Cooper down the sideline on third down of the opening possession. Then he missed Donovan Peoples-Jones on the next play to turn the ball over on downs. He overthrew Kareem Hunt for what could’ve been a big play down the sideline on a wheel route and he never saw — at least never tried to get the ball to — a wide-open Peoples-Jones running free in the secondary off of play action. And that was only the first quarter.​

Also, don’t spike the ball with 15 seconds left. Get it down to five so the other team doesn’t get it back.

I thought Jacoby managed the game okay. But he missed some big opportunities early.

He seems capable of putting some zip on the ball 15 yards or less but long passes were pretty gross.

I think it’s fair to point out that one of his biggest plays was the absolutely awful and obvious pass interference penalty with the lob to Cooper. Really changed the momentum there.

He’s gotta find a way to get the ball to Njoku and Cooper more.

That play was hilarious. About as funny as Boswell hitting the upright, though I guess it's good that the Steelers eventually won.

What the hell was the deal with the "fake spike"? First off I thought fake spikes were legal, but evidently they are not, but the refs called it a fake spike and everyone thinks it was a blown call.

I was worried he blew the game, but also kind of excited for Cade to have to win on a 63 yard fg, lol.

Forcing us to read Jason Lloyd drivel should result in a ban. Put yourself in timeout.

I think Jacoby was worse than expected but there are factors to account for that you could argue both worked in his favor and also made him look worse than he was...

He got some breaks (a few defensive holding calls and the PI call in the end zone on what should have been a pick). He also delivered some throws in tight windows that were dropped. Notably: Harrison Bryant, Cooper, and Schwartz all dropped catchable balls. Some of his deep (open) misses were bad but could also be be improved with chemistry and familiarity with the offense. I'd even argue that his worst miss was not even thrown - when he didn't see DPJ streaming wide open down the middle of the field.

In all, it evened itself out to give him a smackdab, middle of the road performance.

The Browns caught a break on the fake spike. It should’ve been a penalty for intentional grounding. If I am not mistaken, and I would want to be corrected if I am, that should’ve been a ten second runoff also.

Watch the replay, there was no "fake spike".

Apparently it’s only considered a fake spike if you fake it and then attempt a downfield pass.

Which is why I'm not overly concerned with Brissett. The Browns can manage having a liability at QB until Watson *or even after Watson* comes back with their roster talent.

Y'all realize if Brissett was the QB we're expecting him to be then we'd probably win 9/11 games?

He has flaws to his game and it's probably not going to get too much better. We can hope for small improvements but he'll likely leave some plays out on the field. Ultimately, the goal is to survive and come away with a win no matter how ugly and give us a shot at the playoffs when Deshaun returns.

I'll give you the next 3 weeks, but you think we'll take 5 of 7 with Jacoby playing like Jacoby?
