Absolutely. It's gonna make him have to pass and run A LOT more. And I've not seen it in him to carry a team.
I read somewhere he wanted to have a good year and go pro. Right now that'd be stupid move #2. #1 was bad enough, because he could've pulled it off with a killer year at TN. Assuming he could pull it off, which I doubt.
But you're right. Allegedly the "family" complained about the OL at TN. Yet a good D keeps you in the game and gives you the ball back, and they did last year. He didn't do much with it. At some point you have to stop talking potential.....you got to actually SHOW IT.
