Of course Ballard valued him or he wouldn't have signed him, but people need to stop with the over the top and frankly silly praise for someone who hasn't done anything yet. Calling someone a game changer when they are in their 5th season in the league and have two 100 yard games for their career is just ridiculous.

Look, I hope the kid does great. I hope he shows out and becomes what we need for a second receiver, but I am not annointing him with what he has done so far.

You're right, I'll just think of him as a POTENTIAL game changer.

You obviously haven’t seen Deon Cain the game changing 2nd year/rookie who is tearing up the league just like everyone said he would because of a few positive practice reports.

One of the things I especially like about Frank Reich's schemes is there are a variety of possible game changers, depending on who they play, how he anticipates the scheme of the opposing defense and the matchups he can take advantage of. If you had to pick out some game changers from last week, who would you pick?

Jacoby Brissett, Zach Pascal, Eric Ebron, Frank Reich

Deon. Fucking. Cain.

Jacoby is getting himself some national love

To me that throw on the run (something he wasn't supposed to be capable of) after escaping Von Miller was most definitely not a throw that a qb who only 'manages' the game makes. If our last qb made that throw everyone would be saying it was a throw that shows how he can put a team on his back and win in spite of the team.

I'll eat some crow. Because just last week, I said that throwing on the run was an area of Jacoby's game that he needed to work on.

Well that throw was an absolute laser from Jacoby.

I think he has only one flaw- and that being too timid to try to force the ball into a spot with a guy playing tight coverage on the man he wants to hit- and that's not a minor weakness- it is gonna end up biting us hard in the ass at some critical juncture...if he doesn't overcome it.

I just have to believe that Siriani and Reich can coach it into him. By and large this D, for some of the shortcomings they have illustrated, have proven that they can carry the water after a TO. I want to see a game where he throws caution to the wind and uncorks the ball and see what happens. If he can develop that skill, shit Brissett may end up being a league MVP type guy.
