# Zachary Pereles: Pereles grades the Brissett trade well for both sides, projecting Brissett as Baltimore's Week 10 starter who gives the Ravens a workable but below-average offense, and identifying the Chargers and Panthers games as winnable. **Claimed:** Nov 6, 2026 **Pundit:** Zachary Pereles — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/zachary-pereles **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jacoby-brissett-trade-grades-cardinals-ravens-trade-deadline/ 4 checkable claims — 2 game outcome picks, 1 depth chart call and 1 position group finish — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 1. > The most likely outcome is the Ravens field an average/below-average offense, but one that at least works. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Baltimore Ravens to beat Panthers** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jacoby Brissett to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jacoby Brissett, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Baltimore Ravens offense to be bottom 13 in the league** - Kind: Position Group Finish · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Baltimore Ravens to beat Chargers** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Jacoby Brissett — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jacoby-brissett ## What others said about the same people - Albert Breer on Jacoby Brissett: Breer argues the Jaguars should be taken very seriously, seeing a path to 13 wins and the AFC's No. 1 seed with a first-round bye, and he expects the Jacoby Brissett trade to Baltimore to be completed within a day. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c51d9762-3ca3-4143-9372-bf508348053f (scored 100) - Nathan Jahnke on Jacoby Brissett: In a Week 9 recap, Jahnke expects Mark Andrews to remain Baltimore's lead tight end but says rookie Matt Hibner is more likely than Josh Cuevas to eventually overtake him, and he anticipates the Ravens acquiring Jacoby Brissett to start at quarterback.
