DUD: QB Jacoby Brissett

Replacing Andrew Luck was an impossible task. Filling the shoes of an elite quarterback isn’t easy, but Brissett simply didn’t live up to the hype of being a top-15 quarterback. Though there were moments of promise, the entire season showed that Brissett isn’t the long-term answer under center at 27 years old.

The knee injury he suffered certainly played a part in his regression, but Brissett’s hot start came crashing down quickly. The splits for Brissett show a quarterback that regressed massively over the second half of the season.

Excluding the Steelers game, here are the splits for Brissett on the season:

	Completion %	Yards	Y/G	TD	INT	YPA
First 6 Games	65.1%	1,388	231.3	14	3	6.74
Final 8 Games	56.8%	1,495	186.9	4	3	6.33

We will have more on Brissett in the offseason, but it was truly a brutal second half for the quarterback leading the team in Luck’s absence.
