He is a beast of an athlete who hAs played some darn good qb in college. I would not be mad if we spent a 2 or 3 on him, as I think a coacch like harb can use and nourish a talent like pryor. I was just pointing out that I thought he looked behind cam in that area, which would make sense considering pryor has not had a typical draft prep.Originally posted by Baugh_Area:
Anyone watch the video of Terrelle Pryor in the Fran Gore recovery thread? Pryor's arm looks great, but his drop backs look really shaky....really not even in the same league as Cam Newton in his drops. He looks almost like any old guy trying to look like he knows how to drop back.
Not really seeing that. His drop backs look fine, but it's not like he'll never be able to improve in that area. Any NFL QB coach can help him tighten that up in 1 training camp.
Not really referring to you, but I really don't get all the hate this kid is attracting. He may not be a 1st-round caliber QB, but he's got a ton of tools/potential and is definitely worth drafting/developing with a mid-round pick for a team that already has a solid starter.
Having watched Pryor play in person for 3 years (I was an OSU season ticket holder), I have to say I'm quite shocked this guy never had monster hype around him (not because I think he'll be good in the NFL, but because players LIKE HIM have typically gotten monster hype... Newton, Vince Young, etc). He was the most important player on a team that got to BCS bowls each year he was the starter. The main thing that held him back in terms of production was the offense was conservative by nature, and not designed to accentuate his positives/hide his negatives like Cam Newton's remedial 3rd grade difficultly level offense.
Dude what are you talking about? He had monster hype while he was still in high school. They covered his signing day on the front page of ESPN. I've been hearing about this guy nonstop for years and I don't even follow Ohio State.
Compared to Newton or V. Young? Not even close. He's basically the same player as those two, yet instead of being talked about as a 1st round pick (even b4 the tattoo scandal) he's talked about as a 3rd/4th rounder who should maybe play a different position.
