Jacoby has been a good acquisition.

(7 WEEKS LATER)


Brisette leads the NFL in being sacked (43 times.)

It's not even close in terms of leading the league ........ Matthew Stafford is in 2nd place, having been sacked 36 times.

All things considered, the Patriots did the Colts a big favor by trading him to their team.

And in the long run, perhaps it will wind up being a good thing that Andrew Luck missed the entire 2017 season.

I really want Brissett to get rid of the ball quicker, but I respect the guy. He's one of the brightest spots this season. That doesn't say much about this season, but I have a hard time finding fault with Brissett.

Certainly has been better than the alternative, I will give him that

He has his faults and I still think if he expects to start in the league he has a long way to go, but at least the Colts in IN most of these games.

Same would not be true with Tolzien.

It was a good trade

How is Dorsett doing?

7 receptions on 11 targets in 11 games. No touchdowns. 5 first downs.

Looks like we won the trade in a landside

It was a good trade, but you don't measure who won after such a short time. Jacoby was needed to play the QB position here from day one. The Pats are strong and deep and didn't need instant production out of Dorsett. As little as the production they're getting out of Dorsett, what were they getting out of Jacoby?

Next year, if Luck returns, Jacoby will be on the bench for pretty much the entire time. Dorsett?
