[QUOTE="gtg936g, post: 36900, member: 623"] Vad's issues (going down early, bad reads) to me are all part of not being mentally tough. For all the grief and the boos, Tevin would trot out on the field and give it his all... Win or lose. That is an example of being mentally tough. When a young man has been told over and over that he is great, he has a hard time believing that he is human and will make errors. I think Vad had a lot of people tugging at him to bail since he got here. Couple that with the reality that he is not superman made him mentally weak compared to a lot of other players (I am not downing the kid, just making an observation here) which caused him to lose trust in the system and the team. If you could add Tevin's mental attitude to Vad's ability you would have a heck of a QB. Football is an emotionally charged sport. There are highs and lows. You must be able to handle both in stride, and players must be able to handle it better than the fans. JT has the tools, but he will make mistakes, and we will lose some games. Can he handle the pressure, the highs and the lows? I do not know, but I hope so. The only aspect we as fans have any control over is what happens when he trots back on the field for the next series after a turn over. Will we boo, cheer, or sit silent? Do you think our team is more likely to give it their all if we are getting beat and the stadium is cheering them on instead of running for the exits? We as fans are mentally weak if we expect our team to give their all, but we bail after the first loss, or bad play. If hold ourselves to the same standard we expect from our players, the players will respond. [/QUOTE]
