What is considered the better QB draft class? 2013 or 2014? Honest question.
I ask because I, like many of you, browsed through numerous mock drafts this year. Tons of them. And I didn't limit myself to 2013. I checked out my share of 2014 mock drafts as well...out of boredom.
I began checking these out when it was widely speculated that Bray would not enter the draft until 2014. One thing that I found interesting was that if Tyler Bray were included in a 2013 mock draft, he'd generally be projected as being a mid-to-late round pick and there would be a blurb stating, "major character concerns, yada, yada, yabba-dabba-doo." In the 2014 mock drafts he was included in, often times generated by the SAME people who had him projected as mid-to-late in 2013, he was projected to go 1,2 or 3 overall by most of them. And the majority of them would write a blurb, "Bray will have another year of college under his belt to mature and eliminate character concerns and should be the top prospect in 2014, yada, yada, yabba-dabba-doo." I don't think I saw a 2014 mock draft that consisted of Bray, in which he was projected anywhere below the top 5 overall....and my sample size wasn't small...I read many of them.
I want to know what....in.....the......hell....is up with that shit? I thought the 2013 QB draft class was "extremely weak?" Is 2014 supposed to be worse? Shit just doesn't add up.
I just think it's odd that he was generally considered a mid-to-late round pick in one of the "weakest" QB draft classes, but generally considered an elite QB prospect for the 2014 draft...with both years' "blurbs" about him referencing his character concerns. I mean seriously, would that extra year have made THAT much of a difference? I don't get it....
Lol...we got him as an UDFA this year...I don't care what anyone says, considering that we lost nothing by acquiring him, this signing has POTENTIAL of being a freaking steal. Yeah he's presumably gonna have a few sword-fights with his own personal dumb-stick that seems to get the best of him at times, but I don't care. Hopefully his drop into UDFA will humble him a bit and become the determining factor that prompts him to make a legit effort to become more mature. I hope he takes an initiative to actively learn and plays with a chip on his shoulder. I've met plenty of dumbass 21 year old kids like Tyler who when in a transitional phases of their lives, unexpectedly stepped up and made abrupt 180's in terms of their attitudes and overall approach to life. I don't know Bray personally, so I have no reason to believe that he doesn't have a chance to overcome his dumbassery. He's only twenty-freaking one years old, for crying out loud. God, at 30 years old now, I cringe when I think about how crazy, impulsive and irresponsible I was at that age. I'm not like that anymore...my transitional phase in life was having kids. Hopefully one of his transitional phases in life is being in the NFL and trying to GET PAID someday if he ever earns a chance to play and performs well.
