2017 Stats:
16 GP (15 starts), 3,098 yards, 58.8% comp %, 13 TDs, 7 INTs, 52 sacks
Obviously, a lot has changed with the 2019 roster.
- The coaching is significantly improved with a coach who is known to emphasize a player's strengths.
- The OL is night and day better than it was (Luck was sacked only 18 times last year).
- There are better, more dynamic playmakers at receiver, TE, and RB.
- The defense is markedly better and should create more turnovers and keep the offense in better situations.
I think the biggest two questions influencing Brissett in 2019 will be 1) his ability to process reads and 2) short-to-medium accuracy. Based on comments from Sirianni, we know that Brissett has taken steps to improve in both areas.
What does that mean for our expectations for Brissett in 2019? There's certainly a range of probable outcomes, but I think a reasonable comp would be Dak Prescott's 2018 stat line:
3,885 yards, 67.7% comp %, 22 TDs, 8 INTs
