Bray will never

[GLDunlap]

There were many people, legions who said ( It pains me to admit that I agreed at the the time) that Arian Foster would never start in the NFL cause he cant stop fumbling. How did that turnout for him? Bray could flop , could be all-pro, wait and see.

Arian Foster only fumbled 5 times in a school record 650 carries and 1-2 of them wasn't even his fault. There is no doubt his fumbles did come at inopportune times though.

Yes he will. Bray has better physical attributes than both Ainge and Clausen put together, he just didn't have leadership skills. All you need in the NFL is the physical tools....just take a look at Bryce Brown.

Did Bray move to running back or did they just lower the standards to be an NFL QB? Generally the QB in the NFL is a leader at least on successful teams. Seems like leadership would be a fairly important trait. Bray ain't got it, never had it, and will never get it. Had he stayed this year it's even money if he would have played.

To be fair I think more people questioned his speed at the next level than fumbling. It's worked out fine for him obviously...

This seasons crop of draftable q.b.'s is weak. Bray will be a 2nd or 3rd rounder, depending on U.T. pro day results and NFL combine results.

Should he return next season (1) the receivers will all be in experienced (2) New offensive system (3) crop of college draftable q.b.'s will be more populated (4) risk of injury to Bray.

Neither returning for his senior season or entering the draft early are good options but going to the NFL is the best of two bad options.

He is making the right decision based on his options. A 2nd or 3rd rounder is not likely to start anyway. He will sit behind Rivers at S.D. or will end up in K.C. He can learn the system and learn how to be an NFL q.b. and be a career journeyman or an occassional starter and earn a paycheck.

Truth be known he was probably worried about not starting next year.

But my point is he hasn't proven anything and its like he let the hype get to his head .

If he stayed he could have got his degree and maybe improve his skills.

Now if he don't make it he will have nothing to fall back on.

Troof troof!

Bray has more talent than the two others combined.......he needs to find a little maturity....then he could be very special. With the right mentor, in the right system he will flourish. Your understanding of QB play is lacking.

 

[UTHorsey]

he should have stayed and got a year of being coached by a good coach

If that's all he needs to make it in the NFL, then he'll make it in the NFL. They have pretty good coaches.

What happened to the whole "Vol for Life" thing - why you wish him ill???? Guess all these kids want to come to UT need to learn that "VFL" don't really mean much unless people like ya.

Bray has way more physical talent than either Casey or Ainge ever had. It's his lack of maturity that's been his biggest downfall.

I hope to see him do well, but there are too many red flags around for me to see him doing well in the big leagues.

bray's people are hoping for a 2-3 round slot, a few million in bonus cash and a backup job somewhere

Bray is not NFL ready, but the NFL might be good for him. If he is lucky enough to be drafted by a coach who understands how to develop him, Bray will make it. There is no more fooling around and no more thinking that the coaches aren't good enough for him. If he lands in a situation where he continues to think that way, then he will fail. But if he is drafted by a truly good coach, he will develop. If some team throws him out there his first year, forget it.
