From Jake Samson:
"You obviously don't have to post this Darren, but I was just so disappointed with the lack of reading comprehension and basic football understanding by my fellow fans in the Brissettliever camp, so I have quick notes for them: Box score watching is very, very bad without knowing what actually happened in the context of the games. Those raw stats mean next to nothing. We're not planning for an offense that will have no run game, that's absurd, and the line wasn't particularly terrible. My question is, if we had a good QB, an elite TE, at least one very good receiver, a slightly below average line, and a poor RB room, how in the world did we go 1-11 and find ourselves down 14-plus at the half six different times?"
Well, I don't have to post it, but I will. Although I will admit, I am not sure of exactly what you are asking in terms of Brissett? Are you asking why he didn't win more, or explaining that it made sense that he didn't win more? I think with Brissett, he is a good bridge. I think you could do much worse than having him as your 2026 QB. I think he needs a lot of help from everyone around him, but at this point, that is 90 percent of the quarterbacks in the league.
Quarterback was always going to be the big question of the 2026 offseason. Frankly, it was always going to be an unknown and even once they "settle" on a QB room, I think we're still going to feel that way until the games start playing out. At this point, however, it looks like Brissett will be the starter heading into the offseason.
