Jacoby Brissett is a clone of Andrew Luck?

He sounds intriguing.  I read about him today on the Daily Norseman which had a link to a write up that Bleeding Green Nation had on their site.

 

Quote:

Standing a 6-4, 240 pounds, no one will question's Brissett's size. He is built like an ideal NFL quarterback, possessing great size to help him both in the pocket and when he is on the move. Brissett has an incredibly strong arm, having the ability to truly threaten any level of the field. Brissett does a great job of winning in the pocket, but he also has plus athletic ability that keeps defenses honest. He has the ability to not only extend plays outside of the pocket, but his size and speed make him a dangerous runner in the open field. From a purely physical standpoint, Brissett is precisely what any team would want in their quarterback; Well built, strong armed and possessing dynamic athletic ability.

As a passer, Brissett's mentality is what makes him so good, yet, somehow, also causes pause to a lot of evaluators. Brissett is an aggressive passer. He wants the big play. Having the arm that he does, his mentality often leads to a lot of splash plays that few other quarterbacks in the country will create. Of course, looking for a big play can also risk turnovers. When a quarterback is constantly firing down the field or testing small windows, there is as much downside as there is upside. Brissett also has a tendency to stick to his reads down the field, missing open guys crossing at the shallow and intermediate levels of the field. So, in a way, his style leaves yardage on the field. Of course this is not a good thing, but I think Brissett's defining trait is certainly not a bad thing.

He has great size and athleticism, but after one year you are comparing this guy to Andrew Luck??  Luck was going to be number one overall in 2011 and then was in 2012.  One of the highest praised QB's to come out of college in a while and you compare this guy to him?  Do not see it IMO.  He does look like a guy that if he sits behind a great veteran for a few years he can learn (like Aaron Rodgers) and maybe become pretty solid but not a day one starter IMO.  And no I am not comparing him to A.Rodgers in any way.

He's not Luck but nobody coming out is. He doesn't look bad though.

I think he looks terrible.  He doesn't read and diagnose particularly well, especially blitzes.  He doesn't identify open receivers with some regularity, and when he does see them, his footwork will cause him to miss them at times.  Throw on top of all that, he gets fidgety in the pocket and will bail too quickly.  Is that all something that he can overcome at the next level?  Possibly, but from a technical standpoint, it's some of the more difficult obstacles to overcome as a quarterback in the NFL.

I will definitely take your opinion on this because I am not the best on evaluating talent coming out of college. I just watched his highlights and thought he looked decent. Of course though any youtube video wont show him playing badly either. I watch college ball but not much like you do and many others so I am glad you and many others are here to do mock drafts, etc.. I read them.

He's got Lucks arm strength, competitiveness, and athleticism. What he doesn't have is Luck's movement skills in the pocket and ability to stand tough in the pocket and throw under pressure. But also is always looking down the field for a play like Luck.

 

I see more Cardale Jones than Luck though. Plus athlete with a big arm but isn't a whole package yet.

He's definitely got highlights and flashes playmaking ability.  He's just the furthest thing away from a consistent player.  Draftbreakdown.com is a good website to go to if you ever want to watch prospects in the upcoming draft.  Each video shows a player only on the snaps he was on the field (and often they identify with a superimposed circle or square to draw your attention to the player pre-snap) and cuts out all the other plays.  Depending on what position you watch, each video is anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, sometimes 15.

 

Evaluating talent as a hobby isn't as hard as it seems, it just takes time to understand what your looking for and what they mean.  To do it on the granular level that the professionals do it for hundreds of prospects each year - while I think it would be a dream job - is hard (especially when your job is on the line).

I hear ya, now when it comes to ranking players and all-time teams in the NFL I think my rankings are among the best. Reason being I even keep it unbiased and study the NFL much more.

 He truly does sound like our Mad Bomber.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      Does a reporter bear any responsibility about what he includes in his pieces? Sourced or not? Is everything a source tell you printable? Is everything worth printing? BTW I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, I just wonder if there are any ethical considerations a reporter might have when reporting on this type of touchy subject, especially when some of those anonymous scouts might have vested interest in a player getting drafted higher or lower than currently projected?

      Again….   McGinn didn’t do the damage to Mitchell.  The scouts did.     And there are columnists like McGinn at every major paper.  Their job is to gather info and report it, whether it’s popular or not.    Let me turn this around.  Hypothetically, a few years from now if Mitchell doesn’t pan out and he’s moody and difficult to deal with and he’s a bust, then the scouts will have been proven correct.  And people here will say McGinn’s column was spot on.   Another person who should’ve handled his business better is Mitchell himself.  He’s been living with this since he was roughly 16.   And scouts said he interviewed badly with them.   Even Mitchell admits it.     I don’t think this is as black and white as it seems to you.      To be clear…. I love Mitchell.  Glad we drafted him.  I’ve said several times that Ballard defending him draft night was smart and scored points with the kid.  Now he comes out and says that exact thing.  He appreciates that Ballard defended him so hard and he wants to pay the Colts and Ballard back by being the best player he can be.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      I’d say those teams that lost had worse defenses compared to the winners. That’s not to say that their defenses were bad, they just weren’t as clutch in the big moment.    To me, defense matters a whole lot when you need a stop or a momentum change.    Look at all of the star studded power offense teams of the last decade who were incapable of winning it all.

      Oops that’s my mistake. Yeah I completely missed that. My apologies.   But yeah he’s one I would keep an eye on for us next year. Him and Will Johnson. It’s a little early to be talking about what the Colts would do in the draft, but I would put money on this being the year Ballard takes a DB high. I could also see him go D-Line again. I love college football and watch as much of it as I can, but I’ll be paying attention to a lot of the guys you listed at those positions. Last season I watched a lot of the teams that had the elite receivers (Washington, Texas, LSU, FSU, etc…).   I’m also getting ready to fire my draft podcasts I listen to back up and look at summer scouting. I’ll come back for some discussions as I get info as I always enjoy talking prospects with you.

      The issue some may have is the kind of journalism where Bob McGinn created an article that affected a young man's career based solely upon anonymous sources.   I'm confident you will reply back referring to your experience as a journalist with some version of 'without anonymous sources, there would be no journalism'. I value reading your insight about how sports are covered and I don't disagree that anonymous sources can be important. Its fair for anonymous sources to give background about things they are not comfortable saying out loud.   However, I'll add that perhaps its also fair for Bob McGinn to use his anonymous sources to help him find the story and craft the story, but if nobody will put their name on it then Bob McGinn needs to dig deeper before he launches infotainment into the world. He can't take back the damage he did to AD Mitchell.
