Jacoby Brissett played very well last year in relief of Andrew Luck. He got traded to the Colts right before the start of the regular season. He didn’t have a training camp or preseason to help him get chemistry with his receivers or the rest of the offense. In spite of this, he played pretty well.
Brissett was always put at a disadvantage being put in that spot. He didn’t know the offense well because he didn’t have time to learn it all. He was thrust into the starting role after a horrible week one performance by Scott Tolzien.
