That's a ridiculous thing to hold against him.
Had he not "quit on his Texas Tech teammates" he'd have never been the #1 overall pick. You're really gonna shit on the kid for making the decision that was undeniably the right decision for him to make?
With his size and without pop off the page arm talent, he'd have been a 5th round pick and probably stuck behind someone like Matt Ryan.
I don't fault him for seeing the writing on the wall and leaving for a situation that allowed him to showcase his skills and advance his career immeasurably. Lots of guys do that without being a shithead about it.
The problem is that he did that WHILE being a shithead. The former isn't demonstrative of the latter but the latter is pretty much inarguable.
