INDIANAPOLIS – Perhaps the most notable takeaway from Jacoby Brissett’s 2017 season was this: The man never complained.
Oh, he could have made a long list of excuses – justifiable ones, at that – to account for his uneven performances while quarterbacking the Indianapolis Colts. He just chose not to.
Brissett could have moaned about his last-minute trade, bounced from New England to Indianapolis a week before the regular season with no knowledge of the Colts’ offensive scheme or even his teammates’ names. He could have whined about the unfair position the Colts put him in, asking him to become their starting quarterback after being on the roster all of two weeks.
