QB Jacoby Brissett, ARZ (1 Viewer)

[(HULK)]

Underdog NFL
Schefter: Jacoby Brissett will start Week 9.

Kyler Murray (foot) is making progress and could have a role.

A role? I'm confused about that unless they're borrowing the Saints playbook this week, which makes zero sense with an injured Murray. Also, he's not anything like Taysom Hill.

Who we rolling him out over this week? Matchup can’t be better. Considering putting in over Old Man Rodgers.

 

[Jamesinaz]

I got a waiver claim in. Dumping Purdy for him. Not losing sleep if someone picks up purdy either

I know he’s been frustrating but I’d drop someone else if you can. Purdy gets the Bears FF Championship week.

I was trying to decide between Rodgers or McCarthy. Now Brissett will probably get the start considering how bad my Cowboys D has been playing.

 

[Pietaster2]

In a league where I have Hurts on bye, I’m starting him. Why not? Cowboys D makes every qb look like an MVP candidate.

 

[Max55]

I put in a claim for Brissett in a Superflex league and plan to start him if acquired.

Any chance if he has a good game he becomes the Cardinals starting QB ROS?

 

[Stat Correction]

Starting over Hurts on bye, and over Nix against the Texans.

Would feel a lot better though if Murray was officially OUT.

If the Cardinals are going with Brissett the rest of the way, shouldn’t they just trade Murray? How would his value be impacted by being benched for half a season?

Just posted in the Kyler thread what I'll say here and that is he's hurt. He's not benched for performance or on the trade block. Brissett is not the QB1 for the ROS, just until Kyler is able to return.

That’s one way to look at it. I agree it’s the most likely scenario and definitely the scenario Arizona is putting out there.

Brissett’s play is slowing Kyler’s healing process.

And that’s too bad for the Cards and their fans. Murray is a mess of a qb.

well the offense has looked good under Brissett. Cant say the same for Kyler.

looks great. Poised and cerebral. Veteran journeymen are having quite the year at QB!

@OptaSTATS
In 3 starts with the Cardinals, Jacoby Brissett has:

completed 65% of his passes
thrown for 850+ yards
thrown 6+ TD passes
rushed for a TD

The only other NFL QB to do that over his first 3 starts with a team was Kurt Warner with the Rams in 1999.

Well well well how the turn tables

With the Murray news today, how many more weeks Brissett gonna start? The news release on this has just been odd. Murray could have played last week. Then maybe only play a little. Then out. Now 4-8 weeks. Starting when? Just been odd overall. Brissett has sure looked the part. Id guess Cardinals offensive players prefer Brissett.

At this rate, the next Murray news drop is he’s retiring to play baseball

Sounds like a broken record

HC Gannon on if Jacoby Brissett is starting over Kyler Murray because of health or performance:

"Truthfully, both factors. ... I like what the offense is doing right now."

Brissett is #40 on FBG's ROS rankings just below Tyler Huntley and Tanner McKee.

Seems a bit low.

 

[TartanLion]

I think he’s looked very spry so far, actually more athletic and alert than in other recent iterations at other balling clubs.

Gotta love "analytics". RIght up there with AI.

Totally agree...this is not the Jacoby I saw last year with the Pats...now it was an awful situation he was in last year but it's not like he is now playing for McVay, Shanahan or KOC...be interesting to see if he can keep it up.

 

[fightingillini]

I can guarantee Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr are loving Brissett at QB. He is just a better fit for what AZ wants to do on offense.

 

[Max55]

One thing that stood out to me from watching parts of the Cardinals v Cowboys this weekend was Brissett seems to have a strong arm.

I don’t remember him throwing deep but his throws 10-20 yards past the line of scrimmage were on a rope.
