Holy crap, we all see both points of view clearly. Let this shit marinate for a few weeks and revisit it then.

Shit is boring with no games. Hyped for them to start but not much else to talk about until they do

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.)

What the fuck do I know about running a football team, anyway ??? (outside of always starting a team with an offensive line and liking Jimmy Johnson's philosophy of going with smaller, more athletic players on defense, not much.)

The Colts still have one year left on Brissett's contract (2020), and they have acquired veteran Philip Rivers to take the reins of starting quarterback for said season.

After watching Jacoby Brissett for 16 games, one thing seems clear. Even before the injury, he wasn't someone who could get into a shootout with another elite QB and come out on top.

He's tough, he has a great arm, and no one can question his leadership skills.

But, as far as every other skill needed play the position is concerned, his skillset ranges from average to mediocre...or worse.

He does a poor job reading defenses, his accuracy is mediocre, he lacks touch and finesse. Despite having a great arm, he's afraid of forcing the ball downfield; and simple timing patterns seem beyond his ability to master.

Kinda like Tim Tebow. Great in every way except putting the ball into receivers hands.

I also worry that a large commitment will make it harder to remove him quickly if he's not up to the task. That's all.
I'll apologize to everyone up front, but I need to ask, why do you care how much money Irsay spends? Next year, if BOTH Brissett and Rivers are gone, the cap will be different. And if I were to bet, I think that's what is going to happen.

Ballard has been stocking up on money and cheap players and now he's spending it. No body goes to the Super Bowl because they have more cap space.
