Lindy's magazine hinting Colts fans should feel less concerned.

[HOF19]

They seem to feel Jacoby Brissett is a top 3 (or better) back up QB in NFL this up and coming season. (I purchased their annual 2018 NFL Preview magazine ).

[HOF19]

• And Lindy's ranks TY over Odell.....And first or second best special teams in the entire NFL .

[Valpo2004]

No way TY is better then Odell.

 

I don't see Brissett as a top 3 backup either.  Maybe top 10 . . .

Who are the 3 (or more) teams with better backups?

Agree about TY, although I'm guessing him being ranked higher has a lot to do with some uncertainty of whether OBJ will return to form after his injury last year. Not sure about 9 other teams having a better backup than Brissett though.

TY over the last 4 years - 4883 (Remove last year as our QB was injured...3917)

OB over the last 4 years - 4424 (Remove last year as Odell was injured...4122)

 

TY missed games in his first 6 years - 2

OB missed games in his first 4 years - 20

 

I'll stay at The Hilton.

Besides Philly, I’m not sure there are many teams with a better backup. Certainly not 9.

 

This article sums it up pretty well.

Name a backup QB that was sacked and harassed more than Brissett last year. I hope he stays with the Colts.

I love Hilton...but no way. OBJ is three years ago and on a HOF arc right now. OBJ has more TDs in that time frame you listed than Hilton has in his career (including last year).

 

It does get closer when you factor in contracts though. Hilton's deal was pretty favorable to the Colts...OBJ's deal won't be (to whichever team he signs with).

I signed in just to like this post. Great analysis and punch line!

TY could take his game to another level (greatness) if he works on not dropping balls. TY sometimes attempts to look for the big play before securing the ball when if he just secures the ball, The big play would have been the catch alone. Not dragging TY, but I want to see him blossom as that 1 on 1 type of smaller framed WR like Steve Smith that can go up and snag the catch every time!

[NagelHausForge]

What I like about TY over Odell is the fact that even though he does some trash talking on the field, overall he just quietly does his job and makes plays.  I know he had made a few off remarks last year about the O-line blocking or something but you never see any huge emotional outbursts or sideline tantrums like you did with Odell.

 

Just my 2 cents.  But give me TY any day of the week,

Ryan Fitzpatrick, now that's definitely a joke.

 

[aaron11]

hard to rank back up QBs, most of them dont play enough to form an opinion on 

 

when they do play they are often in a bad situation like brissett

Moore isn’t on a team.  From what I’ve been reading, Hoyer may not make the Pats roster.   Stanton, the same with Cle.  And what has he done when he’s had the chance anyway.

 

I’ll give you Fitz because he’s a proven commodity.  So, unless you have more on the top of your head, that’s him and Foles.  So JB is at least top 3.

For me logic says the colts offense will be a lot more productive this year on offense. Even if Pagano were here or the old play callers were still here I truly anticipate an adiquite enough oline to make this offense role. I don’t care who the skill players are. Trenches. 

 

One other thing too. Hilton was drafted in the 3rd round, while OBJ was drafted 12th or 13th overall. Hilton isn’t that far off production wise vs OBJ. Not enough for me to think I absolutely need him on my team. 

 

I also want to see what Deon Cain can do for us this year. I keep hearing great things, and maybe, just maybe, we snagged another day 2-3 elite WR from the draft.

Lindy's top 5 went this way  ( backup QB's )>>>>>  #1 Foles…..# 2  Bridgewater ( Jets )...…# 3 Jacoby...…..#4 Fitzpatrick (Bucs )...….# 5 Henne (Chiefs )… In different parts of this particular 2018 preview issue they always kept saying  positive things about Jacoby made me wonder that they may actual like Jacoby over Bridgewater.

Bridgewater is a big injury question mark.  But if he's fine then he's obviously up there.  (Although quite frankly I don't think it's quite clear at this point who's going to start for the Jets.)

 

I forgot about Foles.  He seems to be pretty good in the right offense.

Is this serious or are you just trying to get a rise out of people?  

 

 

[NorthernBlue]

Jacoby went 4-11 (didn’t start week 1) with one of the least talented teams in the league last year, plus learnt the playbook a week before the season began.

 

In a better system with a strong offensive line, better run game and less trash Defense (hopefully we have all three this year), I see no reason why he can’t hold the fort and deliver some wins if the worst case scenario of Luck not being ready week 1 happens to be.

Couldn’t agree more from start to finish. Those are all solid backups, but...Jacoby IMO has the tools to be a top 15-20 qb in the league. I live in Arizona and let me tell ya...Cards fans love them some Drew Stanton, but purely because of his sideline cheerleading. When he’s in the game, he’s 90% unwatchable
