Realistic Expectations for Brissett

[omahacolt]

He isn’t very good. 4000 yards and 22 tds would be good. Great really. We need to find a new qb

If he is an average QB this team will be in most games.

That is my expectation for him this season.

I don't expect him to be Andrew Luck or on that level If he can run Reichs offense and get the ball out quickly, minimize mistakes, this offense has enough talent to be very productive, say top bottom of the top 10 in the league.

The Colts and Ballard seem high on him. You can argue, what else are they going to say? But given the situation with Luck and how it may have been surprise to use but likely was not to them, if they didn't think he could do the job I think other moves would have or could be made. I don't see that happening, which means they really do believe in JB.

Agree, it's pretty obvious this isn't really coming as the surprise the whole crew wants everyone to believe (schnookering the fan base YET again IMO). Yep, they've got a great cast of talent and if they felt there was someone better they could get, they would have done it some time ago.

They seem like straight shooters, so I take them at their word that they actually believe he's a top 20 QB. But that also means that they think he's an average starter; otherwise, they would have said top 10 QB.
