Brissett is terrible

[azcolt]

TY would have had at least 200 yards receiving with a good qb. Don’t believe it? Just ask the guy who folded up like a fan when he thought he was going to get hit over the middle.

[NannyMcafee]

I would say it's a group effort. 

[MTC]

What does that make Scott Tolzien? 

[NorthernBlue]

K relax.

I don’t know but ask TY.

At least Kaepernick can run.  

Brissett is too slow for a QB that has zero awareness in the pocket. 

[VaAllDay757]

No brissett is ok it's the playcalling that's getting him killed....these long routes that takes 5 mins to run never helps

Top 5 draft pick

[GwinnettColt]

He hangs onto the ball long (Luck does, too). 

 

With this O-line and the play-calling, we can't expect much from anyone back there.  Not that I'm defending Brissett; he had a bad game.

[mikey287]

I don't agree with the thread title.

[deedub75]

As I've said before, give Brissett a full offseason as the starter and a competent o-line and coaching staff and he'd be pretty good. 

[shasta519]

Brissett played well enough to win to an NFL game. I assume this thread is a dig at Hilton for being invisible most of the game.

[Dark Superman]

Brissett is basically a rookie playing behind the worst line in the NFL.

What did you expect?

[TheEdgeis1]

I agree with this thread title.

[jchandler7]

Brissett isn't terrible,  he is a good young BACKUP that just got sacked 10 times last week. He holds onto the ball to long and has taken some sacks when he could've got rid of it but he isn't terrible. 

[GoColts8818]

Don’t know about Brissett but Aiken is.

[bananabucket]

If I see him take off to run then slide after 2 yards one more time..

[2006Coltsbestever]

Painter and Tolzien are much worse

Curtis Painter's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.

What WR can he count on?

So you're saying if we trade him he'd be pretty good. 

[TheEdgeis1]

Here’s a question, what traits are you guys seeing that shows he has promise, because I’m just not seeing any.  Yes his receivers did not help him that’s for sure.  But the serious lack of pocket presence, can’t feel pressure, not throwing the ball away, and turning the ball over in key situations.  You have to know when the game is on the line that you can not take a sack.

[Luck is Good]

Hardly. But he’s a backup QB for a reason. He’s not a guy to be counted on for the entire season

Doyle who isn’t a WR and until today couldn’t be counted on.

[Gramz]

We were  in the game right up until the end. 

If not for that "tipped" pass that resulted in a pick 6,  it could very easily have been a different outcome.

[IinD]

He's trying I'll give him that.

 

This team as a whole is terrible so I'm not going to act like he's the reason we're losing.

[snkdy]

I think it’s a lot to ask of someone to come in and learn a new system so quickly. But that said, the two picks in the Cardinals game and in this one did cost us two wins. I’m not sure if it’s fair to demand more from a backup QB though.

Yeah but his pick today was more about the Bengals defender making a heck of a play than it was Brissett making a mistake.

That's non sense.   He has only been here 8 weeks.

That’s true. It was an amazing play.

Yes, that was my point too.

If he expected people to pick up on obvious sarcasm, he was sorely disappointed.

Deductive reasoning.... If both are guilty of holding on to the ball too long, it just maybe the play calling. Even Wentz and Brady would have a thread dedicated to how bad they were if they played for the 2017 edition of the Colts.

[Douzer]

Brissett is NOT terrible. Not even close....

Nonsense? He’s a backup QB. He’s not a starting QB in the NFL

Congratulations for being a rational poster. Gotta recognize a reasonable man

Just because he is a backup doesn't mean he can't be a starter.   Lots of qbs start out as backups

Even though I bash them I know this a dumpster fire. No need to single out a guy who's trying and playing his best in a tough situation.

He’s not starter material. He’s a good backup. And backups will make mistakes
