Chiefs to sign Tyler Bray (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=272578)

Derek Dooley was a shit coach that didn't exactly help Bray.

I'll be honest this is the first Chiefs rookie QB i've been excited about in my lifetime.

Explain the logic underlying that conclusion.

Enlighten me...where will he go? Cutler isn't elite but he's good and isn't being let go.

last year of his contract and apparently they can't agree on an extension so Cutler said he will just 'play his contract out' and see what happens ala Flacco

Bears will have to tag

Ben is really good I know that. Bray showed ability in the SEC.

Oh there's no doubt he flashed some ability. I just hope he can put it all together one day. Comparing him to Ben is ridiculous though. Ben was ready to start. Bray may never get there.

I got too excited and missed the a. My bad :facepalm: on me

It's always exciting to sign a player that every GM in the NFL refused to draft.

ANALYSIS
Strengths
Bray uses his height to adequately survey the field and see over his offensive lineman, yet he also displays the flexibility to bend and reach for low shotgun snaps. Bray has elite arm strength, and generates this power through a consistent rotation of his hips. His throws are often tight spirals, and the velocity of his throws allows him to beat defenders to the spot. He shows the ability to manipulate the pocket, and change his arm slot, while still delivering accurate throws.
Weaknesses
An extremely thin build, and won't contribute much as a scrambler. His gamed is mired with tremendous inconsistencies, mostly rooted in a poor feel for the intricacies of the game. Accuracy and footwork can go array at any point in the game. Takes to many unnecessary risks. Has a tendency to stare down his targets. Did not develop in his Junior season as many had hoped.
NFL Comparison
Jay Cutler
Bottom Line
Based on pure arm talent, Bray is an extremely impressive quarterback prospect. However, his arm talent only resulted in a few standout plays amongst a season of poor decisions, and maddening inconsinstencies. An NFL team that drafts him will be doing so based on their faith in cleaning up the many aspects of Bray's game that leave much to be desired.

Proofreading on the internet is shit.

YES! Regardless of his d-bag tendencies, he was my 2nd fave QB in the draft (behind Geno). I saw numerous projections for next year that had him as the fave to go #1 overall had he not declared this year....in a draft class they are projecting to be more talented...doesn't make sense. But love this. I've been a Bray fan since his Sophomore season.

I'd settle for a new Trent Green....

Back when Green went in the 8th round, he was the 222nd pick.

In today's draft, at the end of the 7th round, Mr. Irrelevant was the 254th pick.

I've wanted this guy. Kind of like every GM passing on Kurt Warner, Wes Welker and Preist Holmes. It's a long shot but I'll take the odds.

That's what a grocery store said right after signing Kurt Warner.

We'll need to keep 2 10 million dollar tackles for this statue to have any chance

I mean boom! That's what I said. It's a long shot, I know. But I'll take it.
