There's a prospect that they've been developing for a couple years named Jacob Eason that I think may have the eye of the Colts' brass. And if they do choose to go with a veteran I have a hunch they don't want to go back to Brissett's more grinding offensive style. Irsay seems to have an aversion to that style of football, afraid fans find it unattractive. (on the other hand, Belichick one defined himself by it and the Patriots are past masters of it)
A style focused on the run and the short pass, rather than on big gain plays. I would have thought that anyone who had a basic idea of football would grasp that. A high flying offense favors quick possessions and a lot of the. A grinding style favors fewer drives that consume more time, with the idea that the defense is counted on to limit opposing possession and that if the defense does its job, those fewer drives will be enough to win. The offense thus supports the defense by limiting the number of opposing possessions through burning clock on offense. In other words instead of being the offense the QB is just another part of a machine designed to control the time of possession and limit the opponent's opportunities to take the game away. It's a style Brissett showed some effectiveness in playing out before his injury, including wins over playoff teams TEN and KCGrinding offensive style means what, exactly?

He's a UFA, so he'd cost a comp pick, yes?
Depends on how many FAs the Colts lose.
If there is a value less than Less Than Zero, then that's how little I want Jaboo Winston.I have 0 interest in Brissett and less than 0 interest in Mariota.
If we can't get Jimmy G, I would take a crack at Nick Foles or Jameis Winston. As to Winston, there is talent there so there is something to work with.
Without a doubtIs he a better bridge than stidham?
Besides being an affordable bridge QB until we secure a true Franchise QB, Jacoby brings character & leadership to a young rebuilding team. Were the Pats to lose their culture the rebuild would be still born. We've lost character leaders and are about to lose more through age, etc. Bisquick fills the gap with competence. He's not the upside guy we are searching for in our franchise quest but a guy who'll hold the fort.
Are you a big Dwyer High School fan?I am an unabashed fan of Jacoby
I think we're looking at a couple years going forward which are going to make 9-7 feel pretty good, especially if we try to plug in a mercenary QB who isn't familiar with our systemIf you aspire to ongoing 9-7 records and hopes for that last wild card spot this is a great option.
If he were that guy - a reliable but unspectacular player and a good leader - then would the Patriots really have traded him after one season after spending a third-round pick on him?
