INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts have no choice but to start Jacoby Brissett against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday if they expect to have a chance to at least tread water until Andrew Luck returns. Scott Tolzien showed against the Los Angeles Rams that he's not capable of having command of the offense.
What the decision to switch to Brissett also means is that the Colts are acknowledging they made a mistake in not acquiring another quarterback to challenge Tolzien during the offseason. General manager Chris Ballard constantly talked about adding competition on the roster, but he firmly put his foot down and held out on addressing the quarterback position during offseason workouts and the June minicamp.
