Tyler Bray 5th best QB in the draft

  • NFL GM's don't give a flip about stats or fantasy football numbers...they are making multi million dollar decisions based not only on ability but on character, work ethic, leadership, effort, accountability...Bray has none of those qualities. As Big Orange fans we want our own to succeed and we should but you have to look at this from their perspective, Ryan Mallett had a much better resume coming out and look where he was drafted. Teams are going to research this guy with a fine toothed comb because he has god given ability that most humans don't have but that only a portion of the equation. Tyler was not a leader when he was in college, do any of you really think he's going be a great leader all of a sudden because he's got some cheddar in his pocket? Dude is gonna go off the deep end when he has to be a grown up...flame of you will but if you take off the Orange colored shades and look at this from the NFL teams POV, you wouldn't take him either. In fact listen to Mayock during the coverage of the combine, I will guarantee he will shed some light on his prospects and they won't be quit so rosey. Argue Manning vs Bray all you want (laughable) from their days on the hill but TB won't be drafted nearly as high as his ability would lead some to believe.

    Bray has "none" of those qualities..? None?? so he has no character, no work ethic, no leadership ability, puts forth no effort, and had no accountability. Wow. And yet somehow managed to throw for the second most touchdowns and yards in UT history..All while leading a volunteer offense that averaged over 35pts a game... Our scoring offense with the lazy, delinquent Tyler Bray was 3rd in the SEC. Our total offense was SECOND in the SEC.. You dont generate stats like this unless you put in a significant amount of work and effort.. But dont let your hate get in the way of the facts.
