Jacoby Brissett was signed in the offseason due to Deshaun Watson’s impending suspension (at the time) and Baker Mayfield’s soured relationship with the franchise. He has completed 66% of his passes and has four touchdowns to just one interception.
Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio broke down the path the Browns could go on before settling on Brissett. He also offered his view on when it would make sense for Kevin Stefanski’s edict that Watson will ‘absolutely start’ when his suspension ends to stick:
Florio then made the main point of his argument.
He concluded by saying:
Jacoby Brissett can become a fan-favorite in the absence of Deshaun Watson
Many fans would be ecstatic to see Jacoby Brissett take the reins of the Browns offense and preclude Deshaun Watson from playing upon returning from suspension.
Brissett has thrived behind a top NFL offensive line, with skill position weapons like Nick Chubb, Amari Cooper, David Njoku, and Kareem Hunt. There’s no reason why that can’t continue in Cleveland. If Brissett can uphold his level of play to this point, he’ll be a fan-favorite in no time.
