OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 2 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Why and why by Ryan Wilson -CBS SPORTS- Apr 21, 2018 Back in February, new Colts coach Frank Reich didn't sound like he was interested in parting ways with the 24-year-old. "There was a lot of evidence of winning football from Jacoby," he said, via Kevin Bowen of 1070 TheFan. "... I'm very encouraged and thankful he's on the roster." And last month a source told the Indianapolis Star's Chris Wade that the Colts had rebuffed two trade offers for Brissett, lending credence to Reich's original remarks. Also lending credence to Brissett staying put? General manager Chris Ballard's remarks on Friday when asked about keeping the young quarterback in Indy for the long haul. "He's committed, he's a great teammate, he's got juice, he holds people accountable, he holds himself accountable. I love Jacoby," Ballard said. "Jacoby Brissett is going to play in this league a long time. If I learned anything last year, it was the value of a backup quarterback who can get it done, and I think Jacoby can do that."

Very good question My guess is that with all the recent turnover in Seattle they are either A - looking for some insurance against the league keying on their franchise QB B - looking for some insurance against the possibility that the rest of the team carried Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 So they were willing to give up a 2020 2nd round pick for a one-year rental at quarterback? Something coming down the pike maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Jacoby Brissett is a hell of a backup QB and is about as likely to get called into action as any backup QB in the league. I wouldn’t have traded him either. Then if you do, you’re the team sitting there with no backup QB as the Seahawks are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 It's pretty easy why they offered a 2nd rounder, Schottenheimer worked as his OC, he wouldn't need to transition the whole season and after watching a few of the Colts games Brissett actually looked pretty good.

Beast Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The Bills played against Brisette twice. Shut him out once and nearly shut him out again. Personally, I don’t see anything that even says starting QB when I have watched the guy but I’m no talent evaluator. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still a 2nd is too high for a guy who hasn’t shown consistent quality starter level play to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I guess Indy wasn't kidding when they said they weren't interested in trading Brissett. A 2nd is a great offer. But on the other hand, you've been without Luck for years now. And even if you're confident he's good to go - you have to want a good insurance policy in place if you're the Colts.

Rocky Landing Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Well, Briskett seem like a similar type of QB to Wilson-- just not nearly as good. And, I guess the Colts feel like they've invested too much time in Briskett, and are happy with his fit in their scheme? Bringing someone else up to speed at this point would be a lot of.. work...

I agree my first thought was that they are still worried about Luck being fully back and lasting the season. I guess from my standpoint, if Luck still isn’t back to himself they need to move on and just draft one next year. Brissett isn’t a real replacement for Luck. Take the 2nd rd pick and use it to trade up if needed to take a QB next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltonWaddams Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I'm in the minority in that I cheer for the Hawks as my NFC squad. There were 5 years of glory for that organization where the entire league aimed to pillage their FO and coaching staff. And, they did and now they are in a horrible place in both areas. If this rumour is true, then Paul Allen needs to clean house and find himself a regime worth paying because these guys have been revealed as being clueless.

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Just from watching Brisket play the Bills twice and checking out his stats, is he any better than EJ Manuel? His ceiling seems to be very good backup/competent game manager. The Seahawks are insane for offering a 2nd, and the Colts are even more insane for not accepting it. Just my 2c.

stuvian Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 it would take every other teams second round pick to undo the damage wrought by the idiot Ryan Grigson. He makes Matt Millen look like Bill Polian. This essentially establishes Brissett as having a starters worth. So I guess we could get a 3 for Peterman? If we start Allen, we should set a similar market for AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
