The 23-year-old has been serviceable, if not spectacular, in Andrew Luck’s absence leading Indy to a 3-6 record. Though this may seem underwhelming, considering the lack of talent on this roster Brissett has done much more than expected of him.

His playmaking ability and his unflappable, mature attitude on the field have caught the eye.

He could well be a future franchise quarterback. It is doubtful if any other backup in the league could’ve won 3 games with the Colts current roster, especially not in their second year as a pro.

Overstating things.

Again if someone wants to trade for him, great.

Unflappable? The last two weeks though he has made critical mistakes that resulted in two defensive TDs for the other team and cost the team one game and almost cost them a second.

He had two chances against Cincy to drive for a winning FG and failed to do so.

When the Jaguars turned up the rush in the second half he had no answer and played poorly.

He has played better than I expected, but I had low expectations for him based on the past Indy Back ups.

I truly wonder though if someone who writes articles like this is actually watching him play or just looking at his stats. Yes he has thrown "only" 4 INts, but many of those have been critical game changing INTs.
