Quote:

The Kansas City Chiefs first full squad training camp practice will be on August 1 but quarterbacks, rookies and injured players will be arriving on a few days earlier on July 28. That includes Tyler Bray, who is both a quarterback and an injured player.

Bray tore his ACL sometime last December or January which puts his availability for training camp in question. The timeline of eight months recovery seems to point to a possibility that Bray, who mostly worked out on his own this offseason, could be physically ready for camp. He will be at camp but it's not clear yet whether he'll be participating.

Even if Bray is physically ready, it's really hard envisioning a scenario where he makes the team, assuming the Chiefs keep only three quarterbacks. Alex Smith isn't going anywhere, Chase Daniel is the established No. 2 and the Chiefs have more invested in Aaron Murray at this point. Perhaps an injury could change that but Bray has zero NFL experience so he's still very much the project .

Andy Reid was asked in May about Bray participating in OTAs and he said, "We'll see on that." That statement doesn't exactly exude confidence.

Bray is entering the final year of his contract so the 'ol stash him on IR move wouldn't really help the Chiefs. Barring injury the only scenario I can see where he's on the roster is if the Chiefs keep four quarterbacks.

Bray sucked at UT. I don't know why people expected a miracle in the NFL.

Brays value is

He is still extremely young for a QB. Is younger than Murray

Has a big arm.

You cut him teams will be lining up to stash him. He could literally sit until he's 27 and be groomed. His value is his youth. You cant say he's a "failed experiment at 23" but how many QBs in the NFL were good at 23. I can name like 5. He has time on his side that's for sure.

This is no way in me saying keep him. But in every way saying he's not a failure yet.

They churn out 22 year olds with big arms from the NCAA every single year. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. The only thing that Bray has done to separate himself from the other UDFAs is that he's had multiple seasons to try to impress anyone at the pro level and not done so.

Horrible QB franchise, can not be debated.

He couldn't earn those snaps evidently

Possibly. He was not known for being cerebral.

Right now I don't think Chase's salary is keeping KC from signing or extending anyone else, so I don't see the big deal in whether he is making 3, 4 or 5 mil a year. He's a competent backup who has the chance to go .500 if Smith were to go down for a few games.

IMO, people don't like him because of the type of player he is - smaller, weak arm, not a gun slinger. But, he fits Reid's current system. If there is an outlier - it is Bray who is a non-mobile high risk/high reward passer.

No, I get having a safe veteran as a backup. I'm just not convinced that his style of play will win as many games as people think. He feels like a one read QB to me. And you can only get away with that for so loNg If I'm a defense, I'm cutting off his short and dump offs and cutting off his running lanes. That's exactly what sd did the second half. I don't know why it took them 6 quarters to figure that out. He looked absolutely lost when his first option was cut off.

And yet he beat Philip Rivers and the Chargers (twice, if not for Succop), a guy that Chiefsplanet would line up to toss his salad if given the chance.
