No thank you. The cat and cancer post was easily the best post. Brissett has slow feet. It would be another wave of avoidable sacks. In his one season as full time starter he gave up enormous number of sacks and Colts fans were frustrated about it. The offensive line improvement from 2017 to 2018 for that team was switching to a quicker footed more instinctive quarterback in Luck, as much as the personnel changes.
In the Draft Forum a few days ago I posted a thread from a Canes site in which a moderator checked out test score numbers at each position and how it translated to high success at the college level. That was high school testing as applied to college performance but they were logical criteria and no reason it doesn't similarly apply from college to pros, although the numbers may differ somewhat. I only checked out one of them in regard to the NFL. The moderator wrote that every All-American quarterback had a short shuttle of no worse than 4.47. A Canes administrator was immediately frustrated by that finding because Miami spent the last two seasons with Malik Rosier the primary starter, and he ran 4.56 in that test coming out of high school.
When I looked at the pro numbers it was interesting that these days only 1-2 quarterbacks each year test above 4.47, while a decade or so ago it was more like 3-4 each season. Maybe it's the more athletic kids at the quarterback position in college football, and also maybe the players simply prepare for the combine tests more than previously.
Anyway, Jacoby Brissett was among the small number of quarterbacks recently who were above 4.47. The Dolphins obviously pay no attention to quick feet because both David Fales and Brandon Doughty were also on the flunk list. Ryan Tannehill is one of the rare quarterbacks who skipped that test, both at the combine and pro day. There was no recorded score for him. Maybe he was smarter than we think.
Interestingly, Curtis Painter was on the flunk list. I laughed when I saw that. And when I saw David Fales also above 4.47 I was thinking maybe it's not such a bad idea to start Fales throughout 2019, as some have suggested here. Slow feet for Tua Tagovailoa is not a bad investment.
