There are arguments for the likes of Sam Darnold, Mitch Trubisky or Tyrod Taylor to be number five on this list, which is not the best group to choose from. However, there is more than meets the eye when it comes to Jacoby Brissett’s career 18-30 record as a starter.  

Last season, he did not do much with the Washington Commanders, who worked with rookie Sam Howell all season despite collecting a 4-13 record. However, with the Cleveland Browns in 2022, Brissett went 4-7 while Deshaun Watson served his suspension, throwing for 2,608 yards in 16 games (11 starts) with 12 touchdowns and six interceptions. 

Brissett is an accurate passer (over 62% completion rate over the last three seasons) who has proven to do whatever is necessary to pick up first downs and give his team a chance to win. He does not have that X-factor other quarterbacks do, but he is someone the locker room respects for his work
