Colts QB Jacoby Brissett cleared by independent neurologist. Good to go vs Titans.

[VaAllDay757]

I agree I still say the no flag on that was bullcrap.

[HOZER]

Lets go Brisset!

Pagano: Brissett you're hurt!! 

 

Brissett: it's nothing! Just a broken arm!

It's an indication that the league is not really serious about preventing concussions.

Doctors aren't going to risk their reputations clearing guys to play when they have concussions...

 

Teams don't pay them that much

I said the league, not doctors.  I responded to your post about the no call when Brissett got hit. Maybe the officials missed it, but the league  could and should have issued a fine for the helmet contact.

Interestingly enough, I just read on Colts.com that if Brissett throws one more TD pass of 60 or more yards, he’ll tie the franchise record currently held by Johnny Unitas.

Five in a season is the record, I do believe it said.

I'm surprised Manning never reached 5.  Very surprised actually.

I didn't see the play.  But I want to point out that once a QB leaves the pocket and is no longer throwing, he loses his  'protection {defenseless player} and helmet to helmet is allowed on 'runners'.  Not sure if any of this applied to JB though...

brissett was on the run, it was a helmet to helmet hit.

 

i didnt think those were allowed, but it happened pretty low to the ground and was hard to see

the rule mentions the crown of the helmet specifically, i think one could argue the defender did lead with the crown, though not the very top portion.

If that hit is permitted by the current rules, then the NFL is certainly not serious about preventing brain damage.

I think he leads all current QBs in that dept.

Not too shabby for a 1st year starter thrust into the starting role for a new team after only being here a couple of weeks.  I think when all is said and done, he’ll be one of the better backup QBs in the league.

That would be a nice record to have considering the QB's we have had.

No kidding.  After the panic acquisition, it sure would be sweet to have it on the resume saying, “In my first year with the Colts, I broke a franchise record held by Johnny Unitas, a record that has withstood the careers of Bert Jones, Peyton Manning, and (so far) Andrew Luck.”

I like Brissett too. I think he is a Great backup. Whether he can be a Good Starter moving forward we will see. I hope Andrew gets back to 100% which I think he will, if not we may need Brissett a lot next season too.

[Mr.NotSoCreative]

Those of you that thinks he is good, need to watch how he plays against pressure, which he is not good. Terrible actually. 

[King Colt]

He got sacked eight times today vs. Tennessee. Welcome to Luck's World.
