Colts Already Are Creating Ridiculous Hype Around Jacoby Brissett

When does he become banner-eligible?

They should raise the banner now since they are probably planning on retiring his jersey later this season.

I saw one Colts fan say "He beat the #1 defense in the NFL 27-0 last year".

Not sure if he actually watched the Houston game.

Trading for Brissett makes sense for the Colts. They needed an upgrade under center on special teams.

How much hype can you give a guy who you hope never plays a down for you for 3 years?

They can hype whatever they want, the truth is he's just 3 years of cheap backup for them he has no long term prospects to ever develop into the starter for Indy.

Imagine if they cut him in few weeks and the Patriots re-sign him ala the Brocos & Osweiler???
(I know Osweiler was gone longer than a few weeks)

no way in hell is that going to happen. if i was a colts fan i would be excited getting JB.

While he was in a Patriots Jersey mind you.

So he's better than the "Best prospect since John Elway" then? This could be fun to watch. Jacoby should make Luck carry his shoulder pads after practice.

Well he does have a better career comp% and yards/att than Luck.

I'll miss him.

I find it so ironic that the team that started the deflategate mess which led to the Brady bogus suspension which led to a 3rd string QB playing and getting noticed by the entire nfl, is now the very team that trades for said QB. If Dorsett makes an impact on the field towards another SB, that would be incredible.

If he ends up in the game he will be running for his life. That offensive line is terrible.

I am glad he is getting an opportunity, he is a great kid with great leadership skills.

I wish BB didn't have to send him to that dumpster fire with the junkie owner in Indy, almost as bad as sending the guy to the Jets.

I went on the Colts message board and over 90% of posters were negative towards the trade.

Dorset stinks. The Colts were looking to dump him off on somebody for peanuts.

At least Brisett can fill in and win a game or 2.

This is the best thing that can happen to jacoby. If he fills in well for an injured luck, he could have a long career in this league. With us he probably wouldn't have seen the field, not much practice time and in preseason would play the scrubs

This move screams that Garropolo is the real thing.

The Colts, Grigson and Pagano couldn't evaluate or utilize talent properly if their lives depended on it.

I'm reserving judgement until I see him play here.

Colts interest must be bad considering the only Colts story at NFL Redzone this morning is about Brady welcoming Colts fan Gordon Hayward to the Boston Celtics.

Brissett monster arm no touch on the ball and slower release than you would like for this offense.
Improvised made alot of risky throws in the Giants game that he threw 4 TDs he also would of had 3 picks if those backup DBs had hands.
Watching Brissett never go past his second read the writing was on the wall.
If he didn't have that stat padding game we would of never got Dorsett for him.
However great kid great leader very well liked classy guy.
However in a offense like Mcdaniels where the fast decision making is everything.
He didn't fit and if we want a scrambling QB to practice against we can grab one for the practice squad.
The most surprising thing was the drafting of him as opposed to players that fit the mold more.
I said it once and I'll say it again Jimmy will be a rich man here and if not will be a rich man somewhere and we will be rich with draft capital because even with having to pay him big some team will cough up 2 1sts.
Or we could do the unthinkable and trade Brady to say San Fran for a top pick or another team who wants to drive him to the Superbowl.

You forgot to add the dolts stink at developing players.

Roberto Duran made the roster and Lucien and Austiin cut.

The Colts might have cut Roberto and now the Pats are forced to keep him because of the trade.
