For a rookie QB with a shit coach and a shit scheme and zero off season to learn AND relative to Plan B (more Tolzein) keeping us competitive is quite an accomplishment I think. I actually tend to think he will be a very good back up over his career but my point is it's premature to label him yet. Time will tell and given the status of his contract we have time to see what his ceiling might be.

I think you could argue the defense has kept the Colts competitive in games far more than Brissett. There's a reason where 7-10 points feels like an insurmountable lead anymore.
I agree that he's faced extraordinary circumstances, but we're not seeing a rookie wall. We're seeing a kid who just doesn't understand how to process the game. IMO, that's one of those things you either have or you don't. QBs can improve on little things, but if you don't even have a basic concept of going hot, you're probably not going to improve on much.
