Brissett is more than just a quality backup. He's a plug-and-play insurance plan for Deshaun Watson that the Browns know can produce at a high level under Kevin Stefanski. So why did Andrew Berry balk at trading for him?
Former Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett ranked 11th among qualified quarterbacks in 2022 in expected points added per play under Browns coach Kevin Stefanski.CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Jacoby Brissett is just a backup quarterback. Cleveland only needs him for a few weeks while Deshaun Watson’s shoulder heals. And no stopgap second stringer is worth a second-day draft pick.
Makes ya think: If Cleveland can post a winning record with a putrid offense, what could it do with a good one? Two days later, the Browns turned down plug-and-play replacement because they didn’t want to sacrifice a Day 2 draft pick. Maybe Cleveland received good news on Watson’s shoulder between Monday -- when they had no new updates on Watson’s injury -- and Tuesday. Or maybe Berry believes values his draft assets enough to risk eschewing a good backup plan. Can you imagine the Browns trading 2022 third-round pick Martin Emerson Jr.
The Browns shouldn’t expect Watson to find that form again quickly after four weeks -- or five, or six -- of limited practice and game reps. They also shouldn’t expect their bad offense to keep pace in the AFC’s crowded playoff picture, which features eight teams that have three or four losses, long term.
