Of all the stats contrasting Brissett's performance with Murray's, this one from the article stands out as the most damning:
In his two starts, Brissett has now converted four third downs of at least 14 yards. Murray has converted one such third down in 30 starts since Gannon arrived in 2023.
This really quantifies the sense I think we all have that with Murray at QB, when the team gets "behind the sticks", the drive is over. One sack or holding or intentional grounding penalty, and the team might as well just punt.

With Brissett, they look like an above-average offense that can recover from third and long a fair percentage of the time.

What a soul-crushing stat that is for K1 superfans. Wow.

This season is dead. However if they can get Nolen healthy so he can adjust to the NFL that would be very valuable. Hopefully they’ll fix getting Harrison the throws he deserves.
The fact that we’re saying this again about Harrison… going into the bye of his second season… is beyond frustrating.
