When he was a freshman at UT Eric Berry was quoted as saying that BJ was the leader of the class. He was a great student and strong in his faith, but he also had a great work ethic. For those reasons Cutcliff wanted him. Who knows if BJ would have beaten out Bray, but I KNOW that if he had stayed he would have at least been a great backup last year when Bray went down. He truly could have been the difference in several games as he provided that Senior leadership we so desperately needed last year. Stayed and competed? Yes, that sounds good, but if are the best QB in the spring and the coach still tells you that you aren't going to be his guy, then what is left? He wasn't being given the chance to compete and anybody on that team who knew him will tell you BJ was/is a great competitor.
