Ok while it wasn't 90% of the 'Pro-Riley' group saying was a Heisman winner, the vast majority 67%, or maybe 66.9% or 67.1% I will let LV argue the numbers, was saying he was going to come in and save TN football. If have read plenty of crazyness about him, again not Rod-Wilkesesque but crazy for someone who literately never made it on the field. Who knows (maybe Freak) how many times people said, Well I watched his video and he should have started. Or quoted all the reporters who saw 5 mins of live practice and said he was the best, those same reporters now saying he was a head case. I know throwing the ball a mile is different than the problems he is supposedly having but.... Too many people bought in, even many of the reporters, I am looking at you Ainge, to the fact that he was the greatest UT QB to never see the field, and now they have had their dreams crushed. Get over it, VN loved Riley crowned him the King, now he gone, wish him the best.
As far as being better this pretty well sums it up, he was the worst of the 4 overall. You can't say his potential makes him better. You have to look at the whole thing, he MIGHT have been a better passer, but at everything else, or at least something else, he was no-where near as good as the others---unless someone else drops out. He was lacking somewhere bad enough where he 'had to/did' leave.OP had part of it right the MYTH of what might have/could have/ been according to a majority of VN. Let the debate!
