From Pete Landon:
"It'll be easier to talk about this years in the future when all parties involved are gone, but we're in it here and now. How can you justify taking the ball away from Jacoby Brissett?"
From Ben J:
"Is it possible for you to skip the questions from the casual fans who think Jacoby should be our QB? We're tired of them, and I know you are too. I know there will be plenty who look at the box score vs the worst defense in football where we FINALLY force the ball to MHJ and then it opens up the rest of the field when they focus on our WR1! How do you put up with it?"
Out of all the questions I have gotten from this subject, I felt like boiling them down to these two examples makes the most sense for this space. To be fair, I have gotten more like the one from Pete than Ben, but Twitter has many examples of both. Let me start here: These questions came before Gannon's Tuesday announcement Brissett would start in Seattle.
For the former, they aren't taking anything away. Brissett stays in the lineup, but as I noted above, I don't think it's necessarily permanent. I think there is fluidity here, both with Murray's foot situation and also with how Brissett performs. For the latter, Brissett has played well for three weeks, not just against the Cowboys (and their defense). And I disagree the Cardinals are forcing the ball to Harrison all of a sudden. I agree with Gannon that the offense is operating well right now with Brissett and that's what you want at the moment.
