Couple of thoughts.
More often than not there is at least a hint of truth to the rumors that come flying around, especially ones that start to get reported in papers. The scene this summer apparently did happen the way it was described, but it was solved. As for the aTM game, who knows? He's still here. Probably that's the end of it.
As for his character, again, without personally knowing him the speculation is pointless. What we know is what he shows on the field and in interviews. He's not very emotional, which was finely displayed when Bo was berating him on national TV and he didn't so much as blink. He doesn't celebrate wins and he doesn't cry after losses. Does his attitude rub his teammates the wrong way? Wouldn't surprise me a bit. But if I'm Taylor, I know a few things: I'm potentially a world-class athlete at the helm of a major football program. In my redshirt freshman year I beat out two older, more experienced QBs and absolutely shredded most of the teams I played. And I know I can do it again. I'm injured. I'm frustrated.
Am I arrogant?
We're walking a fine line here. On the one hand you have to admire Taylor's composure and athleticism. Not every QB needs to be Tim Tebow. People say he has no friends on the team. So what? Is he winning? Do they catch his passes and believe that he can manage the huddle and the game? These attitude issues are only a problem when they're a problem, and the measure of that isn't how many facebook friends he can list, but how well the team preforms with him out there. If he transfers, we'll know it was for the best, because if it's such an issue that he can't stay here, we can sleep well knowing it won't work out any better anywhere else, and we got rid of a team cancer.
