The Arizona Cardinals are shaking things up at quarterback! In a surprising move, they've announced that Jacoby Brissett will start in Week 10 against the formidable Seattle Seahawks. But is this a wise decision?
Brissett has been filling in for the injured Kyler Murray, who has been sidelined with a foot injury since October 5. During Brissett's tenure, he's shown remarkable skill and poise. He nearly led the team to victories over the Colts and Packers, and secured a win against the Cowboys on Monday Night Football, showcasing his dual-threat abilities with 261 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and a rushing score.
Here's where it gets interesting: Brissett's recent performances have statistically outshone Murray's. Under Murray's leadership, the Cardinals averaged 20.6 points and 288.4 yards per game. With Brissett at the helm, they've averaged 25.7 points and an impressive 356.7 yards. Is this a case of a backup quarterback phenomenon?
Coach Jonathan Gannon, however, insists that Murray will reclaim his starting role once he's fully recovered. Murray, a cornerstone of the franchise with a substantial five-year contract extension, is expected to return to form. But Brissett's recent success raises questions about the team's future quarterback plans.
Gannon's decision to name Brissett the starter early in the week provides clarity for game planning, but it also sparks debate among fans and analysts. Will Brissett continue to thrive, or will Murray's return silence the doubters?
