Sorry I had to split this all up, PFF didn’t have full Offense grades.
I think this grade really highlights the true difference between a Brisset and a Murray, ball security. Kylers a little bit more accurate, a little bit stronger of an arm, and more then a little bit better of a runner, but Jacoby’s fumbles are what truly killed us. You can argue those are more on our O-Line then him, but Kyler was playing behind the same line. It’s the give and take of pocket passing vs a scrambler, Kyler some times doesn’t let plays develop quite as long as Brisset, but he gets away, or just goes down, rather then take those back breaking strip sacks.
Now does any of that make Kyler worth the 50 mil he made this year? Probably not. Especially giving his injury issues. But I feel like a lot of the Kyler haters aren’t acknowledging how much of an impact NOT having him out there had on us getting blown out, compared to how we were in every game with Kyler in there. Kyler put our defense in position to win games if they could just get that last stop, Brisset was frequently not even giving our defense a chance with all his scoop and scores or short fields. And even though so many of you talked about how the offense “looked better” under brisset, that just didn’t seem to translate into actual points. I believe we averaged slightly less points with Brisset, and that’s despite most of those points coming during garbage time.
None of which is meant to hate on Jacoby, for a backup I still think he did well, and his PFF grade suggests PFF thought so as well. More just want to highlight Kyler was bringing more value then the stats people like to compare between him and Jacoby might suggest.
People think time is king, Kyler will make a lot of people look dumb IMO. Dude was having an MVP season, got riddled with injuries, proceeded to play the next year with no OL, tore his ACL, and came back to dumb fuck Drew petzing as his OC for 3 years. Guarantee if he goes to a proper coaching staff/organization he makes playoffs and tears it up.
Good on Jacoby, he kept it close to Murray and threw for over 3K yards. The offense was essentially all on his back and he did fine. Room for improvement and someone younger but he was fine.
It’s pretty wild to see Brissett’s stats. If he played a full season, he would most likely had over 4k yards and possibly 30 TDs which usually means your team had a decent season lol. But you also have to look at passes thrown and YPA which kind of explains the situation.
Brissett did a heck of a job for a backup QB. It was nice to see some downfield passing again. It’s good that Monti finally took the QB2 position seriously, but I’m not giving him a lot of credit since he flubbed the first two years so badly.
The fact its this close and one is a lifetime backup (whose supporting cast got worse as the season went on) and one is paid like a top 5 QB, kinda says why the team is ready to move on from K1.
