Colts’ Chris Ballard: ‘Jury is still out’ on QB Jacoby Brissett

Chris Ballard won’t commit to Jacoby Brissett long-term.

The Indianapolis Colts have an interesting offseason coming up and many are wondering if they will add to the quarterback room or stick with Jacoby Brissett under center for the 2020 season.

As the Colts evaluate the roster, general manager Chris Ballard told reporters in his end-of-the-year press conference that they are still evaluating Brissett and the future of the position.

Ballard did say that they believe Brissett will be the starter when Week 1 comes around but he wouldn’t fully commit to that. This likely leaves open the opportunity to draft a quarterback if Ballard feels it is the right move.

Brissett started the season on a high note throwing 14 touchdown passes through the first six games but finished the season with four touchdown passes after that.

The Colts have made it clear they love the leadership qualities that Brissett brings, but there is still some evaluation that needs to take place in terms of whether he is the future or not.

There is still a chance the Colts address the quarterback position in the draft, but it seems for now they are sticking with Brissett under center.
