Brissett looking like Arizona's starting QB

I get the feeling that when Arizona returns to action next week, Kyler Murray’s foot will still be hurting. Jacoby Brissett, I’m thinking, has look for being their starter for now.

Brissett may be a journeyman type veteran, but nowadays he’s looking like he’s got some Joe Flacco in him. The offense is better with him at the controls.

Marvin Harrison, Trey McBride and Michael Wilson have all had their best games with Brissett at quarterback. That’s worth something.

Murray hasn’t passed for more than 220 yards in any of his five games, and he’s seen some lesser defenses – Titans, Saints.

Brissett, on the other hand, has passed for more than 260 yards in all of his games. And he’s thrown 2 TDs in each of his starts. Murray has thrown multiple touchdowns in only two of his games.

I haven’t seen the MRI, but my hunch is Murray’s foot isn’t ready to put on a field yet.
