He's come back from several nasty injuries time and time again. On top of that, counting college, he's probably played in more "meaningful games" than Cassel ... and won most of them. As for game mentality, he passed for 2,499 yards with 14 touchdowns and 4 interceptions his senior year (after coming back from an ACL), won the Cotton Bowl, and set an Alabama school record that year in both passing yards and low interception percentage in the bargain.
He's glass, but that's about the only reasonable knock on the guy. For a player whose tendons seem to be comprised mainly of overdone pasta noodles, he's tough as nails. Damn few quarterbacks would keep rehabbing like he's done. Most of them just retire.
On a related subject ... people keep bringing up the 0 and 9 record (which isn't great, I admit), but every time they do, I keep hearing the words "Herm" and "Repeated Buttsex Helmet Runs Up The Middle" in my brain. Context, my friends, context.

The mental toughness I am talking about isn't the kind that fuels the drive to come back from injury.
It just seem he lacks the belief in himself to make plays.
Indecisiveness.
An inability to get past his own mistakes and move on to the next play.
