Jon Gruden's QB Camp

Didn't seem as if he was actually accepting the criticism. Thought McCoy was ok, seemed a little too eager to please I think, liked when he finally started getting a bit defensive about the height and some other nits. Bradford, in my opinion, looked like the best out of the bunch. Seemed to have confidence, while still accepting the criticism.

Eager to please is what some down here would call Southern manners. That's just how Colt is, from what I've witnessed over the past few years. He's neither a cocky little shit like Claussen nor a this-guy-can't-be-serious square like Tebow.

I'm sure he's defensive because he's tired of hearing how he isn't going to be any good as a pro or was just a system guy at UT. I think people forget how good this guy is because he had one tough game against Nebraska (and lest anyone forget, the Longhorns had NO run game and gameplanned for that purpose with a guy some are calling the most dominant defensive player in a generation) and of course the stinger/numb arm thing in the Championship game.

Case in point, everyone down here was walking around going "man, what is wrong with Colt this year?" when the dude was en route to a 3500/27/12 season with 70% completion percentage.

Fair bit of (adoptive) homerism going on here, but I've seen my fair share of both Bradford and McCoy down here and I think Colt is going to surprise a lot of people if he gets a real opportunity. Based on the LCF formula, he's got a legitimate shot, if you subscribe to such notions.

You and me both, plus hat tip to the Lewin Career Forecast mention.

I was decided on McCoy before I plugged him in to a formula though. He's always going to be dependent on his system for opportunity, and in that light, he's not a true franchise passer, but he's a rare talent in a specific role. There won't be a guy like him in the next decade.
