The Ravens' QB Room Is Officially a Temp Agency

The Baltimore Ravens are about to start their fourth different quarterback in 23 days, which sounds less like an NFL depth chart and more like a temp agency.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Jacoby Brissett is set to take the snaps when Baltimore faces the Los Angeles Chargers on November 16. This comes after the Ravens finalized a desperation trade with the Arizona Cardinals to stop the bleeding in their decimated quarterback room.

"Jeremy Fowler reported that Brissett is set to become the Ravens' fourth different starting quarterback in 23 days."

Going through four starting quarterbacks in just over three weeks is the kind of math that usually involves a cursed franchise or a Madden simulation gone horribly wrong. Injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley have turned the most important position in sports into a weekly mystery box.

Brissett arrives from the Cardinals, where he posted a highly uninspiring 5-17 record during his tenure. But for a 4-4 Ravens team coming off a brutal 36-10 beatdown by the Buffalo Bills, beggars cannot be choosers. They just need someone who knows how to call a cadence without having to introduce himself in the huddle first.

The funny part is that Baltimore actually kicked the tires on Brissett back in 2023 when Jackson's contract situation was a public mess. Three years later, they finally got their guy, just under the absolute worst circumstances imaginable.

If there is a silver lining for Brissett's impending debut, it is the opponent. The Chargers are currently sitting at a catastrophic 0-7. You do not need to check the odds to know that facing a winless team is the softest possible landing spot for a quarterback who just had to learn the playbook on a cross-country flight.

Baltimore has a quick matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars before Brissett presumably takes the full reins against Los Angeles. If he can just manage the game and avoid disaster, the Ravens might actually survive this quarterback carousel. If not, they might need to start holding open tryouts in the stadium parking lot.
