Jacoby Brissett’s Move to Baltimore Raises Questions About the Ravens’ Future

Jacoby Brissett is expected to become Baltimore’s quarterback for Week 10 against the Chargers on Monday Night Football. Tyler “Snoop” Huntley is on injured reserve with turf toe, while Lamar Jackson is also on injured reserve with a hand injury that could end his regular season.

Brissett looked capable for a few weeks in Arizona, but his recent performances have created doubts about whether he can keep Baltimore competitive. One view is that opposing teams adjusted once they had enough footage of the new coach and offense, exposing problems that have persisted since.

Under that assessment, Brissett is unlikely to turn Baltimore’s season around. He may make the losses look better in the box score, but expectations for a dramatic improvement should remain low. His decision to hold out at the start of the season also remains a source of criticism.

The situation is especially disappointing because Baltimore entered the season viewed as one of the AFC’s best teams based on its roster construction and expectations.

The Ravens also face a larger question about Jackson’s future. One argument is that Baltimore should consider moving on because the team has repeatedly depended on him, only for injuries to leave him unavailable at critical moments. Although his hand injury is legitimate, concerns remain about his availability and the size of his future salary.

However, another view is that Baltimore will keep Jackson and continue trying to make the partnership work. Any interested team would need to give up significant assets, and the Ravens would likely demand a substantial return. For now, the team’s season has become a difficult situation with no obvious solution.
