For the Akron game. Send him a message that he's not as good as he thinks he is. I think we've all been easy on him because the team has been so bad. Well we had the talent to beat Florida this time and he still laid an egg yet again in a big game. Time for his work ethic and attitude to be held accountable and stop letting him cruise through padding stats against the Montana's, Cincinatti's, and NC States of the world.

I think it's time to expect him to play well, maybe even to play great in the big games. Tired of seeing his woe is me attitude and underperforming against our biggest rivals.

This seems a little bit ridiculous... The team as a whole laid an egg at the end. CP had a big drop, Hunter had a big drop, and last I checked Bray is out on the field with the defense. As all of Volnation is tired of losing these big games I have grown tired of our negative fans that have forgotten what was inherited by Dooley. The same people that want to crucify Bray and Dooley would be down on their knees had a couple of plays went differently. Oh yeah Bench Peyton... He never beat Florida... NEVER... and he threw 3 interceptions against the Falcons. Him and the head coach should be gone. Let's give Bray a full season before we toss him out with the bath water.

If ANY player can not learn the system, play calls, and their responsibility on the field they should not be starting or seeing alot of PT. Bray refuses to do anything but chuck deep fade routes. Yes, I would bench him, tell him why and see if he attitude changes the next week in practice. I would do the same thing to the DEs/LBs who forget what contain is, I would do the same thing to OL guys who can't/won't run block.

If you don't hold them accountable, they will not learn.

Bray reminds me of Jay Cutler.

That's not a bad comparison, Cutler took his team to NFC championship and is still a starter in the NFL. Cutler did not have much to work with in college as far as talent around him, much like Bray. Tyler has a couple stud receivers , who did not help him out by dropping passes, but he has no running backs that get more than 3 or 4 yards a carry at best (no RB's take it to the house or close to) and not much D. This will not win in the SEC no matter who the qb is.

Let's put all the blame on Tyler because he can't win games by himself.lol. He needs help also. some people just don't get it or refuse to. Everyone wants the Vols to win but to put this all on Tyler is incredibly stupid.

Tyler is a good QB. Everyone needs to chill out on him. I cant think of many othe college QB's that could have done any better in the situation he had Saturday. When you dont have time to throw then you probably cant make it through your progressions. Yes there were open receivers but he didnt have time to find them. You will see this team is not finished they will supprise some people this year and make a good run:salute:

We'll take Bray off your hands. :) You guys get Russell Shepard we'll take Bray, sounds like a good trade.

He is not really the problem per se so quit it.

Watch the second half again... With the exception of the one to Dooley and one other crappy throw (both on the last drive), he had three balls dropped by supposed first round receivers, made two or three good throw aways, and was getting pressured on all the rest (either got hit or had one of our linemen whipped and pushed back into him) and couldn't step into it and make a good throw. OL and CP/JH are as much to blame as he is.

He got frustrated and didn't handle it perfectly, but it certainly shouldn't all be placed on him and his attitude.

I have to agree with you on this. We have had way too many drops for the caliber of receivers we have on this team.

I do think Bray may need an attitude adjustment, but benching him is a crazy idea.

GBO!!!

Bray would have 4 or 5 INTs that game if it wasnt for them

the fact of the matter is he should be made to watch the second half of the florida game. whether it was tennessee or not in his mind. this just shows that bray thinks he doesn't need to learn from his mistakes. that he can just go out there and throw the ball away to dooley or who ever he wants. the fact that the coaches let him get away with it is a big big problem.

Bray doesn't play defense. That's what cost us the game. We need better conditioning point blank.

Yes, perfect plan. Let's also bench CP and JH for dropping those passes....obviously they didn't care either. Especially CP for trying to make that one handed catch. These kids don't care about anything except looking good and getting into the NFL so we should bench every one of them until that attitude changes. (This is all sarcasm in case you didn't pick it up, I don't want people that agree with me trying to argue with me)

And Bray would have had another TD and another set of downs on certain drives if not for the drops. Wr's are suppose to break up play's that are not perfectly thrown. Not that hard to do. Bray sometimes gives his wr's a chance to make plays when it's one on one. They will not always be perfectly thrown. Should they catch everything? most likely not but some of those drops ruined drives just like Tyler missing throws under pressure. My point is that there is plenty of blame to go around for the loss and not just Bray. Florida's D might have something to do with the loss also.
