My knock on him is that he had poor pocket awareness, bad ball security, forced agressive throws and didn't seem very bright.
I'm not sure if 3 full off seasons (this being his 4th) in the same system in a QB room with very, very smart guys in it with tons of experience will fix all of those issues, but the extension indicates the team thinks he has a chance to prove that he has matured since his Tennessee days.
I had written him off, but I'm genuinely excited to see how far he's come with the mental part of his development because if he can get to 75% of where Hogan or Murray are in that part of the game, he will earn the top backup spot and one of the other 2 will either be traded or will be stashed on IR.
This offense has a ton of deep speed, if Bray can show he has progressed as a cerebral player...he might be worth giving the #2 spot to.

I'd feel more confident about that if this weren't an Andy Reid offense. Having no mobility and not being able to think through a complicated offense are tough hurdles to overcome.
I'd like to see how far along Murray has come though the Chiefs drafting Hogan and recent news on bray isn't encouraging. Murray has smarts and better arm strength than Hogan. But his mechanics looked really messed up last preseason. Id like to think that's coachable but can't help but wonder that if Hogan develops fast and Murray doesn't develop fast enough, Murray could be on the bubble
