Let's try to figure out why Jacoby Brissett caught the Patriots' attention.
When are stats for quarterbacks absolutely misleading?
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been on the ugly end of injuries, watching his stats fall through the floor in 2013 and at the end of 2015 due to injuries all across the offense. It's not an indictment on Brady that he couldn't convert Austin Collie into wine; it's more of a statement about the overall roster.
And so with this in mind, let's take a look at Jacoby Brissett to see what the Patriots liked about him and why his numbers were so lackluster.
