Ya, I’m the same workhorse from the first coltfreaks message board from years and years ago. It took a while for someone to approve me getting back in when the message board moved. 😳

Clearly they believe in him and Reich calling him a top 20 QB was not him just BSing. With the CAP space we have I am good with this, not sure he can really be a franchise QB, but I will trust Reich and Ballard on this.

They backed themselves into this corner where they had to pay him top 20 money to confirm the earlier statement.

Irsay and Ballard are not messing around. They just spent a bunch of money to solidify the QB position.

They said this wasnt a lost season. Nice to see no half measures

Surprises me they didn't just give him the year to play it out and then see if he deserves an extension

But then when you sign your back up $4 million a year and 9 guaranteed, that could easily have become an issue as the year went on

Perhaps a small portion of this move was to ignite some kind of perception equals reality adage ........ pay him like a good quarterback, make him feel like he's a good quarterback, and perhaps it will contribute toward him playing like a good quarterback.

Obviously that wouldn't work with somebody like Curtis Painter or Scott Tolzien, but with somebody who has already shown that he has above-average ability/potential at the NFL level like Brissett has, it may have an impact (however nominal.)
