So did he get demoted from Captain Brissett to Lieutenant? I wanna hear the demotion story. 

[Devildog]

Nah. Doesn't feel the same. Just feels weird in a sense.

Hes gotta earn the Captain title, being he was basically 2nd in command behind Luck, the Lieutenant thing fits.  I just hope he's better at navigation than most Lieutenants (Vet joke)

[Archer]

Dang, I was about to do this very thing!  Well done!

[JimJaime]

Maybe it’s the history buff in me, but in the civil war African Americans fought, and fought hard but none were officers..

I would say so

[indyagent17]

At least take off the Colts hat and put on a hat that fits the time

Whoever runs this account is very talented.  They make me smile.

I feel sad for the people who not only don't like it but feel compelled to criticize it.

We need more things that make us smile not less

Correct me if im wrong, but isnt Admiral a higher rank?

No. Same rank, different service. Admiral is navy. General is Army, Air and Marine. For the Civil War land based army the twitter account uses, the General would be the best fit as football is a land based sport.

meh, doesn't have the same ring to it. 

[Fisticuffs111]

I think it's a little cringey to be honest. It was much more organic with Luck (and even that got old to me after a while).

[Colt.45]

Ah, so creative.

[HOZER]

I wonder if Second Lieutenant Kelly will be up for promotion this year? Hopefully he doesn’t get court Marshaled anymore!!!

[TheMiz]

Lieutenant means placeholder. Seems fitting.

Yeah, and maybe total historical accuracy is not necessary for the meme...

[DougDew]

So we're nitpicking a fun thing because of authenticity over portrayal of a black person as a civil war officer?

 

Geez.  Lighten up Francis's.

Sequels are very seldom as good as the original.

The problem with that is that Brissett does not look like a civil war soldier.  That was the fun of Capt. Andrew Luck.  Luck sort of looked like a civil war soldier.

Colts are a sequel right now and I hope they are even better

That was awesome but it really was the letters that he wrote and the stuff he made up based on real events that was so creative.

 

I mean, squirrel oil?

It was but his looks is what got this whole thing started.  Especially after he played Ryan Fitzpatrick and they both kind of looked live civil war soldiers.  I think that's what got this idea rolling.

I agree ! 

 

except for one of my all time faves; 

 

[Archer]

I was thinking something like:

 

Dearest sister,

 

With Captain Luck resigning his commission, I have received a promotion to a commanding officer role.  I pray that I am up to the task of filling such capable shoes.  The first assignment for our unit is to pacify a group wildcats that is making noise to the Southeast.  Alas, it is a meaningless and trivial matter, and I suspect that General Reich will likely entrust it to some of the lesser experienced members of the unit.  We have received word that many of these soldiers shall be dismissed from the unit after this task is accomplished.  They will return to their farms, but if the Lord wills it, we may find several of them in our midst once again later in the campaign.   I must recommence drilling with the unit, for there are troubling reports from the west that promise the possibility of a pitched battle in a fortnight’s time.

 

Yours truly,

 Jacoby

We beg your pardon, Sir?

 

 

Ok, maybe none of those guys specifically look like Brissett, so I might get your point.

That’s really good. From what I’m reading many of the Lt. Brissett posts are from different people, an open audition of sorts? Put yours out there, it’s good!

I bet it is  . These never get old. I hope Jacoby proves everyone wrong and plays well. If he just puts up something like 28 TD's and only throws 10 or so INT's we will win some games. Our O.Line should provide a decent running game and we have a good defense for a change. Also Reich is a better play caller compared to Chuck. The system Jacoby was in 2 years ago nearly got him killed. Reich's system is much better for a guy like Jacoby. 

[Fisticuffs111]

If anything they should change it up...go with an Obi Wan Jacoby account. At least get a little creative with it.

Whoever this is, it isn't the same.  The phrasing is much less eloquent, and the vocabulary is nowhere near the old one in some instances...

 

Not to mention the Photoshop skills.... Can't pass JB off as a civil war officer in a baseball hat....cmon! Lol
