I'm not making excuses for Brisset, but I don't know if any back up QB could have done as well with the mess the Colts had at WR

Brisset didn’t end the season with many weapons. But his problems extend beyond that.
He won’t throw to a guy unless he is already open.
He doesn’t throw deep, if he does his timing is off and he misses his window.
He has a strong arm but he doesn’t have it under control and doesn’t throw with touch on his throws enough.
He is unwilling to take chances and takes his outlet too much.
He takes too long to get through his progressions and protection breaks down, with a good line he should get rid of the ball much faster.
I think he finished 24th in the league and that is with a good running game and protection.
He is a below average QB, and once teams started to figure him out he got exposed. I think any QB landing just in the teens would add to our win total. But I don’t think we should be looking for incrementally better. We should be looking for the best QB we can get and make teams worry about whether to defend the pass or the run when facing the offense.
