So just to be clear Peterman and Kizer are decent backups saddled with tough situations but Brissett is terrible?

Big Turk Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Probably wanted to ensure his performance would not be hampered by him being upset over him on a backup contract when he would be starting the entire year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Cheaper than a franchise tag next year. Smart move IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are the guy who insisted that Brissett was NOT the guy they were going with when Luck no-showed, despite ALL evidence to the contrary. Yo are the guy that said they should have signed Foles.....depsite Foles already having been signed by another team before anything was known about a calf injsuty way back in March. Confronted with this inconvenient truth, you doubled down and said they still should have signed Foles! After all this time, why do you still do this to yourself, doc?

That's some good trollin' right there. I think Brissett is far from terrible but also feel that Chad Kelly will eventually replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they have made him play on that contract? Sure. Would that make him and the other guys on the team happy about it?

mramefa Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 At least one person in Indianapolis is now very happy with Luck's decision to retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I think that this is a good decision for the Colts. It shows some stability. That’s important for a talented roster with the most cap space in football. They still need to recruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying he has been wanting to retire for awhile now and the calf strain, which will heal in a few months, was just an excuse that left his team in a bad spot. He had mentally checked-out awhile ago, probably during the lost season of 2017, and 2018 didn't rekindle his fire. And again, Brissett is no one's plan. But Luck gave them no choice and giving him 2 years and $20M means they're not committed to him and just doing it out of goodwill, which is good for that but not for the franchise.

Again it's that lack of insight, WEO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 It makes sense as they obviously have a lot of faith in him. If he has a great year they don't have to franchise tag him and will save about 10 million bucks next year. He's still in the lower half of the league in average starter money. They're only tied to him for two years if they want to draft a rookie to play behind him next year or wait until 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
