I’m not going to dig around a bunch of old podcasts from training camp of 2017 just to prove a point on an internet messageboard, DaBruinz. That would take hours, not to mention the fact that it would be insane.
You can choose to believe me or not, that’s up to you. I can assure you that it was discussed by at least a couple of the beat writers, and there have been posters here who have discussed it, too. Again, it was just a speculative rumor that Brissett was in danger of being cut. I can’t say for certain that it was 100% accurate, but there was some belief that he wasn’t developing into the type of passer that they had hoped, as well as the idea that having Brady and Garappolo were sufficient enough to save the roster spot used on a QB3.
