Obviously, Brissett isn't projected to have anywhere near that level of success ultimately, but to say he'll never be anything beyond a journeyman backup is selling him short. He seems driven and that he cares enough to be successful, rather than just happy to be on an NFL roster. I think learning from a good coaching staff, running an offense that plays to his strengths, and given better receivers than Moncrief, Aiken, or some clown wearing number 43 would all lead to him being a legit starting-caliber quarterback. Getting rid of the ball and getting though his progressions are growing pains of most rookie QB's.
People said a lot of dumb shit about manning. Not sure how that is relevant.

Brissett has the size, arm and accuracy needed to be a starter. I don't see him ever having the decisiveness to be a quality starter. He doesn't throw to open guys constantly. Doesn't see the rush. And takes sacks instead of throwing the ball away.

I don't see that being coached out of him.
