Cardinals QB Brissett Finds Unfamiliar Calm

Jacoby Brissett enters his 11th NFL season with the Arizona Cardinals, finding a rare moment of stability after a decade marked by unprecedented off-field turmoil. His previous tenures often saw him stepping in as starter due to suspensions or injuries, a stark contrast to his current situation. This summer has offered a significant reprieve, allowing him to deeply study the offensive scheme and build rapport with teammates.

Brissett's comfort and understanding of the offense are now enabling him to play faster, with improved connection on passes to key receivers like Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. His proficiency in under-center play-action, a theoretical strength of the Cardinals' offense, is noted by teammates, differentiating him from many quarterbacks who prefer the shotgun formation.

While a playoff push may be unlikely for the Cardinals this season, Brissett aims to establish a foundation of stability for the new regime. As he embarks on his eleventh season with his sixth team, Brissett reflects on his journey, expressing excitement and gratitude for reaching milestones he once thought impossible.
