[QUOTE="Eastman, post: 42036, member: 1390"] I believe another factor in Vad's ultimate disillusionment or lack of "buy in" was due to his exceptional athletic ability. Tevin knew he wasn't the most gifted athlete and therefore focused on mastering the offense. He was content to be the Jackets starting QB and lead them. in other words his PERSONAL expectations weren't that lofty. Vad no doubt worked very hard but also knew he was an exceptional athlete and heard constant praise reinforcing his abilities. (The exceptional 2012 UNC game probably set his expectations higher) Reality hit in 2013 when, for many reasons, some not his fault, his level of success was "Tevin-like", no doubt far less than his expectations. To rationalize the results, he could basically blame himself, the team or the system. I think the easy mental choice is to decide that the less than stellar results were because of the system. Once he started to tell himself that it was system was holding him back....the solution is to leave it. Of course this is my pop psychology and my degree was in math so .... [/QUOTE]
