The Arizona Cardinals are moving on.
They have decided that Jacoby Brissett will start against the Seattle Seahawks, and presumably moving forward as they look to maintain position in the NFC Playoff race.
The decision comes after Brissett and the Cardinals beat the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, in which Brissett had 261 yards passing a two touchdowns to go along with his first rushing touchdown on the season.
Brissett is 1-2 as a starter.
Now the question becomes is this a complete benching or is this just this week moving into the position of softening the blow?
For Brissett, he has thrown for 860 yards and six touchdowns to one interception, with a 65.2% completion and a 102.5 quarterback rataing.
The concern becomes the amount Brissett is getting hit and hit hard, as he has taken 13 sacks already this season, which is only three less than Kyler, and he is hit a lot. He was hit 11 times in the Cowboys game, 12 times in the Packers game and 12 times in the Colts game.
That is what becomes the issue, is how long can a quarterback, any quarterback stand up to that type of continued assault?
Brissett has earned this opportunity, how will he handle it?
