  • Its time to consider JW at QB, bray has regressed, he is less effective than ever. Time to stop coddling him, if he cant read a defense a d he can't make throws on time then why is he playing? Big arm, little brain.

  • Chaney has a history as a good QB coach because Drew Brees and Kyle Orton were two of QB's. Two very smart QBs. Bray's off field track record shows he not as smart as those guys. In addition, Chaney was an OC in the Big 10 where he played teams that get drilled by SEC teams. My point is that I dont think Chaney can't coach in this Conference. His scheming and play calling ability are questionable at this point in time.

  • I think Bray is having a rough time dealing with the negativity and his lack of success. He's a very good QB but he is in a funk. I don't think benching him fixes it, but you can understand why the guy might be having a crisis of confidence.

    Losing 11 of 12 SEC games at Tennessee is just a very difficult situation. The fans are fed up and I'm sure the players and coaches are too. I don't know what the answer is but giving up on Tyler isn't it.

  • I'm willing to bet that that will never happen. As long as Bray is here, he is the starter. He's the best QB on the roster.

    Wow. We actually agree JP !
    At this point, I want the best for Tyler. I hope he plays really well in the last 5 games of the season and improves his draft stock. A strong part of me wants him to enter the NFL Draft, and for us to get started with Worley. Another part of me wants to see Bray bounce back and prove everybody wrong next year (I would love for this to happen).
    Regardless, I'm going to hold my conclusion on Bray until the end of the season, much like Dooley. But the kid has too much talent and ability to give up on him half way through the season. Maybe he will mature, mentally, and prove everyone wrong. pray

  • I believe Tyler must be our best QB. However he has been very ineffective over the past two games. We have not been able to use CP or Justin as the weapons they should be. We need to do whatever it takes to get these guys the ball. Including replacing Bray if necessary.He has not been himself in two games.To have Justin catch four passes and CP zero is stupid dumb. We must use the talent we have.I believe we must continue to play this style of defensive. Yes we will get burnt some but we have to control the line. Maybe we get some overthrows or maybe we cover better. With our talent on defense this gives us the best chance to win.Got to be frustrating to all to play so poorly offensively. Need to close with 5 Ws in a row or we may be starting over again.We support our players and coaches. Go Vols.

  • Bray lately has been seeming like he's just throwing to a spot on every play. On outs and slants he isn't nearly as accurate as I have come to expect him to be. It seems like he just puts it where the receiver is expected to be pre-play.

  • I think the only thing we can do is get behind him....obviously he hasn't played in a lot of big SEC games until this season....but I admit I am surprised at how awesome he can look against sub-par competition and how lost he can seem to get against very good SEC defenses.....I hope he continues to improve and everyone sticks around for another year to have a chance to actually win some big games. Not sure what the odds are on that -

    Then if that's the case the coaching staff should be fired today...every position should always be culled, even QB.

    Maybe he needs to be benched...maybe not. But how about we all act like adults here and not call people names like little school kids. Have a discussion on the facts not your ideas of his physical makeup. It just weakens you arguments IMO.
