I will as well, but I acknowledge there's a pretty high correlation between good QB play and wins.

This is a good short breakdown of some of Brissett's preseason play by Brian Baldinger. Obviously take preseason with a grain of salt, but there's some good pocket presence, escapability, reads, and throws from Brissett shown here.

I expect Reich to spread things out in passing situations and use some motion to make it easier for Brissett to read the coverage pre-snap. I also expect Reich to make a more concerted effort to establish the run in the first half of games this season.

He was sacked 52 times the last full season he played. Luck 18. I think he improves considerably.

I don’t think the colts are good enough to win like that. We have made strides in talent but this defense still worries me some

Wild, your opinion surprises me. We were 11th in Defense last year and have developed existing talent (Autry, Stewart), and added talent as well.

I think it may take a few game for them to get their shit together and get the lineups right, but I think we're one of the more solid defenses that we've had in years.

I think week 5 vs kc will be the touchstone. If the Chefs put up big numbers we will have a rough season ahead.

If Brissett only has to throw 20 times in a game and doesn't turn it over, that means there was a stellar running attack. A stellar running attack means winning TOP and that usually means a good defensive performance.

Fair point. We have six games with the same sort of trash QBs, outside of those, I think we have five good ones and fivethat are as good as Brisett

Good QBs:
Rivers
Mahomes
Roethlisberger
Brees
Ryan

Meh QBs:
Carr
Flacco
Fitzpatrick
Winston
Newton

I am not sure about Newton. He could be in either category, depends on if he's healthy.

So far this year he has not looked healthy

But then Carolina has few WR options, especially with Funchess gone.
