Long time Vols fan here. Minibull is exactly correct. This years defense was the worst I have ever seen. They would have beaten Georgia and probably Carolina if their D had made even a couple more stops in those games, to say nothing of that abominable Mizzou game. That being said, no way is Bray or Hunter ready for the big stage.

I live in Bristol TN so I watch the Vols a lot & I agree if they come out they shouldn’t be 1st or even 2nd rounders BUT FACT IS if they put up great numbers at the combine & there pro days & can talk the talk during interviews many GM’s & HC’s will pik them high

If you think you’re going in the 1st round, you’ve got to go.
Staying in college is a crap shoot, and an injury could cost you millions.

Bray choked in big time games with the ball in his hand to win (Georgia, South Carolina and Mizzou). I hope he does leave. He never won a big time game like Shuler, Manning or Martin. Hunter has a kid, he’s gone. Has stone hands. Patterson isn’t making the grades, he’s gone too. He will be the best of the three at the next level.

Hunter’s gone for sure. Tore his acl last year and is projected top 15. Patterson also gone. Bray stays. His arm is ridiculous and he is rarely sacked but he’s razor thin and not at all mobile. One more year, book it.

Matt Barkley chose to stay, it hurt his draft stock and he got injured…..
——————————————————

The difference is that Barkley was a sure-fire Top 10 draft pick. Tyler Bray would not be a 1st rounder. In fact, he would be very lucky to go in the 2nd or 3rd round. So in all likelihood, he would be a late-round draft pick without a guaranteed roster spot. So it behooves him to go back for another year and actually prove he’s a competent consistent QB, something he hasn’t demonstrated up to this point.

The reason UT went 1-7 in the SEC was due to the fact that their defense (coordinated by that Alabama bum Sunseri) was historically bad. They -averaged- giving up almost 500 yards a game. The offense had to try to score a TD on every drive as they knew that the defense was going to give up a score when they were on the field. The offensive players were really good and will do well in the NFL.

MDS, you have got to be kidding. This post shows you have not watched the Vols play an entire game this year. Being a UT Alum and diehard Vol fan (even though it really hurts lately), here is a general consensus from Vol Land:
1. Bray – million dollar arm, 10 cent head. Chokes in high pressure decisions. Thin with little muscle mass. Will break into a hundred pieces the first time Suggs hits him. A real project. Assets are his height and arm. Late 4th/High 5th.

2. Hunter – Physically built just like Bray. Gifted physically, but also blessed(?) with hands like Clifford Franklin. Way way too many drops at crucial times.At least two years away from impact. 5th rounder.

3. Patterson – An NFL body who frequently runs the wrong routes and is more interested in showboating. He has high 3rd round potential.

Hunter drops a lot of passes. Bray doesn’t have the mental capacity to be an NFL QB. After the pissing contest between him an Coach Dooley during the Vandy game, no GM in the NFL would touch his immature azz. He’s radioactive. If he continues his college career, it won’t be at UT. They don’t want him back. Justin Worley will do just fine next year as the starter.The other two guys should jump at the chance.

It never occurred to you that someone might want to stay and get their degree? I know, a lot waste the opportunity but they don’t all.

So how exactly did the Vols go 1-7 in the SEC with all that potential NFL talent?

Tyler Bray is fools gold, I’d rather have Tyler Wilson or Aaron Murray.

It would make sense for them to wait for a new coach to be announced. If Tennessee hires a strong offensive coach like Mike Gundy or someone like that, I could see them stay and try to put up better numbers.
