The Indianapolis Colts are not fully committed to Jacoby Brissett as their franchise quarterback. Brissett replaced Andrew Luck as quarterback of the Colts when Luck abruptly retired before the start of the 2019 season.

"The jury is still out," Colts general manager Chris Ballard said during his season-ending news conference Thursday. "That's why we did the short-term deal with Jacoby. One, to give us some security that we had a player we knew we liked and could go forward with. But also, two, to give us time to figure out if he is the guy or not.

"Jacoby did a lot of good things. He also did some things that I think he would tell you he needs to get better at. But it's a constant evaluation."

Ballard was more effusive in his praise of Brissett after the retirement of Luck.
