As I have stated before, there was/is no bigger fan of PT than me. However, I believe at this point it is safe to say that something "between the ears" does not allow him to succeed at the quarterback position. He has all the physical gifts but he just does appear to have the *it* factor. My personal theory is that he does not have the thick skin that a QB needs, he is too sensitive to his own mistakes and the opinions of the fanbase. I feel like we have watched his confidence erode to a point this year where he can barely get our of his own way anymore.
Hoping Drew Barker does not share this mentality.
Having stated the above, I have always thought that PT (if not for playing QB his whole life) would have made a heck of a tight end. I don't know if he has good hands or not but he certainly has the size, speed and knowledge of the offense to be effective. Assuming he is done as UK's starting QB it seems a shame to just have him stand on the sidelines.....would it be worth his while to switch positions to maybe some kind of TE/H-back hybrid, not the same position as Conrad, but something more akin to what James Whalen used to do mostly lining up in the slot or right off the QB's hip.
Thoughts?
