I'd argue that penciling in a player as a starter that was 1-10 for you and then putting yourself in this position to where a player like that can ask for a raise hurts the team.

The alternative is playing Beck/Minshew. Or having all of them compete for the job.
How? Literally everyone believes that Beck and Minshew are worse.

Brissett Sucks and no stats can prove otherwise
He’s almost certainly the worst starter in the NFL. But no one took me up on the argument that we should have brought in Trey Lance/Zach Wilson/Will Levis.

I get that everyone wants a long-term answer at QB, but sometimes those aren’t available. Lots of folks here stamping their feet and balling their fists because we didn’t…???

Smart of him to wait for leverage:

Yep I think the Cards knew JB was the best QB on the roster but I also think they were hoping to get him on a lowball deal because Bidwill is the last name, and then reality of watching Minshew and especially Beck showed them they would be smart to just sign JB and move forward.

It's barely possible to be worse than 1-10 as a starter.
It’s fairly smooth-brained to look at what happened at the end of last season and believe that Jacoby Brissett was the person primarily holding the Cards back from going 10-1 in that stretch.

There are a variety of ways to go 1-10 (or 5-12); I’m much more excited to see the version helmed by Kacoby Brissett than the one lead by Carson Beck.

Yup. Only real alternative was Willis and he was a pig in a poke.

Let’s cut Kyler Murray and then give Jacoby Brissett a $10-15 million raise
personally, I think Kyler cut himself when he refused to play behind Brissett.
Bidwill is too cheap, Murray would be here this year. If we had another down year, then Murray is gone and we draft a QB next year.

He asked what I would rather do with the money. I answered him. Simple as that.

In this case I think it’s about modestly rewarding a professional for doing things the right way DCR.

Yes, our ham-fisted GM butchered the negotiation from the outset, but I think ultimately it’s the right move.

We’re talking about a tiny fraction of the salary cap. This is not about money, but is instead about principles and process.

52+ other professionals on the roster observing how we treated a guy who gave it 1000% on every front last year.

I was told for years that wins is the only stat that matters for a QB.

Anybody can put up stats when there is no pressure. He will become Jacoby game 1. An L for a career backup.

These counting stats are fairly distorted by the fact that we couldn’t run the ball at all.

If you think Jacoby is going to play among the top 15-20 QBs in the league, you’re likely to be very disappointed.
There's an argument to be made that's it's actually more impressive he put up those numbers without run support. Defenses to just key on him, yet he still made some plays.

I get why they resigned him and I get why he's gonna be the starter to begin the season, at least.

Couple of notes...for the people hating on the 3 win haters...it was actually 1 win that JB accounted for, not 3. For the garbage time stays haters, JBs stats in the 1st half were actually better than the 2nd half of games, I believe.

Oh well, time to move on and find something else to complain about .. haha

Ooooh, I hope he does good this year or else that may just stick...LOL

If we run the ball better, Brissett will keep us in the game offensively. Then it will be up to the defense to stop someone at the end of the game (which they could not do) or Brissett to perform at the end of the game (which he did not do).

While looking at the schedule, we have maybe 5 games that we "can" win (Giants, Commanders, Jets, Saints, and Raiders). Maybe we get lucky against the Cowboys and Lions, but if we stay healthy all year and play better, we are only a 6-7 win team at best. I don't know why we would put ourselves in a position to draft #8-10 with Brissett. Let's figure out if Beck is the guy for the future so we can work on drafting a QBOF.

I'll ask again, who is the QB that we will draft next year to take us to the playoffs?
Is the QB the ONLY reason keeping us from the promised land? If drafting a QB next year takes us to the playoffs, then by all means, start Beck, let's stop complaining about the defense and the Oline.
