Subject: I don't think you can completely discount AC's performance in JT's psychology.

JT was the #3 starter by the end of the season this year, and he was
facing a choice between signing for $195k (probably $1M less than
what he would have gotten had the draft taken place in March) and
rolling the dice and coming back to UVA and playing second fiddle to
AC, because he surely would not have been the staff ace at the start of
the season.

I'm not saying it was a huge factor, but it has to have been a factor.

               Yes, but it's unclear what his role will be.  --  wahoo_de   Wed Aug 6 2008 7:26:41 AM
                   I'll be surprised if he's not a starter this year; if JT had returned maybe he   --  SWVAHoo   Wed Aug 6 2008 9:52:02 AM
                       You think Davis will be in the pen?  --  wahoo_de   Thu Aug 7 2008 11:42:00 AM
                           I think it's pretty likely that either Packer or Davis closes, and right now it   --  SWVAHoo   Thu Aug 7 2008 11:48:18 AM

       That didn't have anything to do with JT's decision to sign.  --  walkdaddy   Mon Aug 4 2008 12:25:40 PM
       I'm sure glad he is coming back. **  --  MunichHoo   Mon Aug 4 2008 11:07:39 AM
