I know you have gotten a lot of crap the past couple of days for transferring, so I figured one more blog post wouldn't hurt. I am just curious as to what you were thinking when you decided it would be a good idea to abandon your team right before the bowl game. It is one thing if you realized BYU was not the right fit for you, but to quit on your teammates during the season says a lot.
First, it tells me you don't care about your teammates at all. Yeah, you know, those guys who have busted their tails to try to make you look like a semi-decent quarterback. Of course you were struggling all year to get the offense going...your teammates can't even respect you because of the little drama queen you are.
Next, it shows that you are a straight up quitter. Look at ANY all-star quarterback and you will see that they had to work for their spots, they weren't just handed the starting position because they were a top recruit out of high school. Cam Newton who won the Heisman last year played at a JUNIOR COLLEGE for two years before heading back to Division I ball. Steven Young sat and watched Joe Montana win time and time again with the Niners. Tom Brady sat behind Bledsoe and Aaron Rogers sat behind Favre. And now look at them. Newton won the NCAA Championship last season, Young won the Super Bowl 3 times, Brady also won it 3 times and was named Super Bowl MVP two of those times, and Rogers won it last year and is on his way to do the same this season. You had the prime opportunity to grow and develop as a quarterback at BYU, but you just couldn't stand the heat which is rather ironic. Riley Nelson, the very man who replaced you, refused to give up after having been the backup for basically his entire BYU career. He still put himself out there, worked hard, and took what you virtually threw away.
Lastly it shows that you won't be able to make it in the NFL, which I am assuming was your ultimate goal. If you can't handle what BYU has thrown out you, there ain't no way you can take what the league's top defensive players would have in store for you.
I most certainly do not want you to go to another school and fail, but looking at your history it looks like that is what you are going to do because when things get a little tough, you will quit and blame everyone else for your problems.
Good luck playing somewhere else that isn't famous for producing quality quarterbacks.
Sincerely,
A true BYU Cougar
