I thought you did not watch the game? There is no qb controversy. We won our opener for the first time since 2004. JB led us to a game-winning score. Yes, he threw some ugly, ugly passes. However, he did not turn it over as opposed to the other qb. Took only one sack instead of four on the other side.. Didn't have 4-5 passes batted down. Didn't fumble the snap multiple times which led to the other team being behind the chains. We won on the road in a game in which we were not favored. I get that you guys are into the doom and gloom and are upset about Baker, but maybe you can please let Browns fans enjoy a win for a week?

He didn't turn the ball over and he led us on a game winning drive to end the game. Not sure if you can expect more of fill-in qb. I'll take that every game.

I never thought Brissett would play a game like he did against the Jets. Well done.

He lost.

jacoby had an excellent game. i dont even care about the pick at the end cause we all know that game was lost by our pathetic defense.

lets hope we get this version on thursday.

Browns* lost
this. no longer worried anymore about the ability to move the ball in the air. only thing to see now is consistency

I never thought Brissett would play a game like he did against the Jets. Well done.

He lost.

Brissett is having the type of season we would expect from him.

40/61 2 TD's 1 INT 376 YDS


he isn't doing anything to help or hurt us. Which, is what we need for 9 more games.

Brissett yesterday was better than Baker last season. He was pretty freaking controlled and efficient

j/c

I find it pretty odd that some of the very people that say they are tired of hearing about Baker keep bringing up Baker.

j/c:

Wonder why a poster who has said he is no longer rooting for the Browns and hasn't watched the Browns play this year is commenting on a thread that is about a QB he hasn't even seen play in a Browns uniform? Trolling, I suppose.

Jacoby Brissett believes Browns moved toward 'what we want this offense to look like'

Brissett executed the Browns’ offensive blueprint and provided a silver lining from a difficult loss

Jacoby Brissett looked like a quarterback who was playing close to his best football Sunday against the Jets.

Despite a 31-30 loss the Browns are eager to forget, Brissett and the offense provided a silver lining to an otherwise disappointing day — they generated 405 total yards with 221 of them coming from Brissett's arm. He established a great rhythm with top receiver Amari Cooper, looked for ways to get TE David Njoku involved and generated several opportunities on screen passes to the running backs.

His performance didn't result in a win, but it was a textbook example of what the Browns hope to do every week with Brissett under center.

"I thought we did a lot of good things well and moved forward toward what we want this offense to look like," Brissett said. "Each week is totally different, and we only have to score one more point than the other team. That's just the mindset. However that comes, we are up for the challenge."

The Browns set themselves up for success by using their elite run game to pound away for yards and create favorable pass situations for Brissett — and it worked.

The offense's third-down success rate is one way to measure that success.

The Browns finished at a superb 8-for-12 on third downs and only faced third downs of seven or more yards four times. By only needing a few yards on the "money down," the Browns could keep things simple and easy for Brissett, who passed on 10 of the 12 third downs and moved the chains on six of them.

Four of those conversions were to Cooper, whose production was another example of overall offensive improvement


After catching only three passes for 17 yards in Week 1, Cooper connected with Brissett nine times on 10 targets for 101 yards and one touchdown. That marked Cooper's most productive performance since Week 7 last season when he was a member of the Cowboys, and the Browns brought him to Cleveland to be the first and often best look for their QBs.

He certainly filled that role Sunday.

"That was just one of those days for him," Brissett said. "Did a really good job of understanding the plan. I thought we as a collective group understood the plan. It wasn't just Amari. Obviously, Amari was getting himself open, but players were running routes to help get him open. Just capitalized on the opportunities that we had."

Again, it's early and a lot can change, but thus far:

It's very early, but there was a lot of talk about Jacoby vs Baker this off-season. I said I thought that JB might take fewer sacks and throw fewer picks than Baker. That was hotly debated. Also, there was a lot of talk about how much better Baker was as a QB.

Again, it's early and a lot can change, but thus far:

Both JB and BM have one interception. As an aside, both have thrown 2 TD passes.

JB has been sacked twice and BM 6 times.

JB is 12th out of 32 ranked QBs in QBR at 59.3. BM is dead last at 23.7.

The above can be found at https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/player/_/table/passing/sort/adjQBR/dir/desc

I also looked up their PFF grades.

JB is 17th of 34 ranked QBs at 64.4. BM is ranked 32nd out of 34 ranked QBs at 45.5
