In Brissett’s defense, when he had TY we were off to a great start and then Big Q smashed Jacoby’s foot and TY got hurt. This is a different offense now, Taylor, Pittman, still a solid offensive line. It’s not who I want back there but I believe we can win with him if it comes to that

If our options are

Go with brissett and keep draft picks to bolster the team or

Give up picks for Wentz or Darnold I’d rather have the picks

I can't believe we are at a place where people think Brissett should be in the mix for starter. It would be a throw away season again.

Well Ballard and Reich also think that so. Not that I want JB to be the starter, I definitely think he should be brought back to fill the role like Fitz did

As vet competition for a drafted rookie? Sure. Not in any other circumstance.

Brissett is a great back up. I don't dislike the guy, I think he is an excellent number two man, just not as a starter.

I don't think anyone is advocating for bringing him back as "the guy" going forward, more like a 1 year stopgap to allow a rookie to develop.

That is exactly what I'm worried about, a wasted year. Not sure what any QB can learn watching Brissett play. In the QB room, yes. On the field?

Would Brisket even want to come back? The dudes a free agent. He may get a better offer elsewhere.

It would not be a throw away season we have a good team and look around the division all we have to do is beat out the Titans

I am still thinking it is one of: Dalton, Trubisky or Newton on a 2-year, $18-20m contract to show us if they deserve a longer / more lucrative one, to see if Easton is ready or to find the next long term QB.
