You would never question this if Tyler had a decent defense while here. People say, "he had chances to beat SEC teams and choked," but forget that he did more than enough to win the game before that point.
Tyler had the misfortune of playing at UT during a rebuilding process. There's no reason at all to blame him for UT's problems when at the same time he was here UT had its worst defense in history, a horrible kicking game, a depleted roster and a coach with a losing record.[/QUOTE]
If Tyler had a decent defense while he was still here, he still would have been the whiny, arrogant, immature QB that he is today. That wouldn't have changed.
Good Quarterbacks run with the situation that they were given, Bray was on fire for the USCe and UGa games, but when the game was on the line, he didn't go out there and score like he had been doing all game. Instead, he choked. He's just not mentally tough, and he never learned how to win.
The worst defense, a horrible kicking game, and the coach's record doesn't really have anything to do with the QB's maturity level or dedication. And UT may have had a depleted roster, but didn't one of his WRs go in the first, and then one in the second round of the draft? And didn't he have an elite O-line to play with?
