Ok, I know I have caught a lot of flack for saying Worley should get a shot over a healthy Bray. While everything you have said is correct about Bray's arm strenght, athleticism, NFL potential, etc, he still doesn't CURRENTLY do what is necessary to win, and that is unacceptable for a player in his third year as the uncontested starter. As I have said before, Bray inflates his stats against weak competition. Lets take a look at his body of work in 2011 and 2012 2011 games against the following teams: Montana/Cincy/Buffalo 1040 yards 11TD 0int 2011 games against the following teams: Vandy/Kentucky/Florida/Georgia 943 yards 6TD 6int 2012 games against the following teams: NC State/Georgia State/Akron 1044 yards 10TD 1int 2012 games against the following teams: Florida/Georgia/MSU/Bama 870 yards 6TD 8int I did not include 2010 stats because that was his first year and he came into the season not as the starter, but instead as the #2. Again, I am not saying Worley is better than Bray...however Bray's performance (considering he has two first round wideouts and an NFL tight end to throw too) is not getting the job done. So, with that said, someone else should get a shot. I am not saying is all Bray's problem, but he isn't helping the cause.
Has no NFL tight end and the offensive passing scheme is retarded. I'm not dismissing some of Bray's problems, but the scheme is atrocious. There are no check downs, ever.
I disagree, there are no checkdowns because Bray doesn't go there. Its a gunslinger mentality. Classic Brett Favre, Jake Delhomme type player. They go through their reads and when they see a tiny space, the mindset is I CAN FIT THE FOOTBALL IN THERE. So they do it, and sometimes they succeed and WOW, they look awesome. Meanwhile, coach is going crazy on the sideline because the QB missed the designed read. Chaney may not be the best coach in the world, but every OC has checkdowns in every system. I do think the TE will play in the NFL, maybe not star or even start, but he will make a roster.
He's just not a good QB at this point. Seems that he doesn't have the intangibles and mental make-up to match his arm talent.
Bray has issues, but the offensive scheme is mildly retarded. He has a gunslinger mentality, but he also has to have a gunslinger mentality because there's not a designed checkdown in the O. The routes the WRs run take about 2 minutes to develop.
The offensive scheme is beyond putrid, but Bray needs to change that mentality, and in a hurry. Talented for sure, but he doesn't have what it takes up top. It wouldn't surprise me to see Worley at some point
