Interesting stuff on Bray c/p'ed from another board

[ReVOLver]

People (especially opponents) have the opinion that Bray is a gunslinger who takes too many risks. Is he really?

10 of those picks came as a true freshman

He averages a TD every 13 attempts or every 7.7 catches.
He throws a pick every 33.2 attempts. Less than one per game

I think he is. Only because he gives his guys a chance to make a play against man coverage. That is what the NFL will love about him. I have seen the qb gurus show the difference in what open is in the NFL as opposed to college and we have all seen enough football to know that a db stride for stride with a wr but his back to the ball the wr is essentially open. The throw the NCS guy made to the TE against lathers comes to mind. Lathers was all over him but had his back turned..........result completed pass.

That and he has great confidence in his arm to fire a ball into tight windows most can't or won't do.

I'm just tickled to death we've got a big play QB.  There's not much I loathe more than operating with a game manager QB, such as AJ Suggs, Nick Stephens, or the Simms kid.  Great guys and great teammates, don't get me wrong... but unless you've got a dominating defense and running game it's just torture.

a while now, I just think he has a very good understanding of his arm strength, the ability of his WRs and where the ball needs to be thrown in relation to the pass pattern and position of the defender and is confident enough in his understanding to be willing to make throws that other college QBs wouldn't or shouldn't.

Another huge point to make is the fact he's had the same Off. Coordinator his entire UT career.  We now know how big of a deal that is.

There's a fine line between "gunslinger" and "wreckless".  He hasn't crossed it. 

[Volznut]

He is a different QB this year, you can see it easily. He is actually playing the position, taking in the mental stuff. You can even see him go through his progressions. He has thrown it to 10 different guys this year.

Bray will be a first round pick. Possible top 10.
