Wow the NFL is an absolute joke. How could they even THINK about letting this moron into the draft? PER THE RULES, HE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE. It’s as simple as that. Based on their rules, he shouldn’t have been eligible…what precedent is this setting? It’s ridiculous. What does it say to it’s current players when the NFL abides by the rules they set in place whenever they want to, not all the time?

I don’t have anything against Pryor; I mean he is an absolutely atrocious QB, and he is a moron, but I do not care if he continues his playing career forever…but this year it should have been in the UFL, CFL, or he should have transferred, served his suspension, and played at a diff NCAA school.

It’s just astonishing and disappointing.

Here come the Skins! You know Kyle Shanny wants to make a name for him self as a QB developer. This could be the project he seeks.
————————————————————-
i hope so because i fear that Washington will end up going 5 and 11 possibly 6 and 10 which is well out of the Luck sweepstakes and honestly, i think Barkley and Jones both go in the top 6 or 7 picks. i hope Washington gets him as a project.

1. The suspension is bogus.
2. The suspension is meaningless, because he wasn’t going to play anyway.
3. He’s nothing special, but some team will take him.

That is all

Yeah, they can and they do. So do most businesses. If they wanted to, the NFL could have shut him out of the draft all together. It really doesn’t matter, since he’ll probably flame out in a few years anyway.

They must be expecting him to make bail for the tax evasion charges coming. $1000′s in gifts? $1000′s for Uncle Sam.

Terrelle Pryor would be a perfect fit for a CFL team. Wider and longer field would suit his abilities far better than the NFL.

Wow – I haven’t seen this type of vitriol toward one player in quite some time. His stats were fairly impressive, his win/loss records was quite impressive, he beat Michigan every year, and guided OSU to victory against Oregon and Arkansas. He may or may not be NFL material but as a college QB, he was a very significant part of our success over the last three years.

And no, I am not forgetting or overlooking his stupidity when it comes to the whole Tat5 fiasco -

I wonder which team that needs a tight end will give up a 2012 draft pick for Pryor? I mean, seriously, nobody expects him to be a QB in the NFL, do they?
=====================
Did they expect Tim Tebow to be a Fullback?

Is there any doubt he’s going to Oakland?
======================
As long as sweep the AFC West and drop 59 on Denver, I dont care…could he be any worse than JaMarcus Russell was?

I highly doubt that. Seeing how Cam Newton did in pre-season has me curious as to what Pryor might do.

This just adds another reason I’m not happy with Goodell as the NFL commissioner. He shouldn’t have taken so long with this decision and if he really didn’t want Pryor in then he should have no after the CBA was done instead of waffling about it.

The 5 game suspension makes one wonder who is doing the wagging….the dog or the tail. I’d say Goodell has over stepped his bounds by a long shot. If I were Pryor I would hire an attorney….

Roger Goodell needs to go. So far since he has been in position, he has done nothing good for the Owners, Players or Fans. He seriously needs to be replaced by an actual football guy. Someone who knows and loves the game.

Someone needs to start a website geared to getting rid of Mr Goodell.

Pryor may just be a great tight end.

He ain’t no QB. Anyone who drafts him and screws around with him at QB is wasting time and money.

Have him lift like crazy, put him at tight end, and you would have an Antonio Gates.

Put him at QB, you got a tall Kordell. And that is not good.

Do you people realize that this guy was the top overall player of his high school class? He was the QB of one of the most high profile College Football programs in the country! He was directly involved in one of the biggest scandals in years which eventually got one of the best coaches in the country fired. And you wonder why his name is repeatedly mentioned on this site? If you dont like it then dont read it. He is a project, yes, but with the right system and the right coaches, this guy could be very dangerous as a QB in the NFL. He probably is too immature and diva-like but you never know. I think he would probably be a solid 2 guard in the NBA if he wanted.

Suspending professional athletes based on collegiate transgressions is an odd precedent. Is the N.F.L. going to suspend all the implicated former Miami Hurricanes if proven guilty?

If there is a God, this kid will be a very low round pick. He needs a lesson in humility.

The real question here … with the supplemental draft coming with less than two full weeks of training camp remaining … let’s assume a kid is drafted Monday, catches a plane and gets his physical and signs a contract on Tuesday, and starts practicing on Wednesday … that means a week and a half before the final preseason game. What kind of chance does anyone in that position have of making an NFL roster? And, if they are put on the practice squad, they can be signed by any team in the league.

The supplemental draft is an exercise in futility this year. Any team that wastes a higher-round pick in the supplemental draft better have an awful lot of conviction about the player.

Goodell is a joke!! He is ruining the NFL. And prior didn’t enter the draft bc they all committed to stay last year before the sugar bowl. That was the only way tressal would let them play in it.

@whatswiththehate……Paying a guy and his family well over 100,000 is a little more serious than selling a few things and getting free stuff. Honestly, every major program has incidents like this that just don’t get uncovered. No matter what sport in the NCAA people do get paid and you would be idiotic to think otherwise.

He didn’t serve the suspension at Ohio State because he was going to get kicked out of school!

Goodell is a Joke ! Making Pryor ineligible for the first five weeks of the season based on the OSU mess then justifies suspending Pete Carroll or Reggie Bush for their hand in the USC sanctions, suspend them both as well. Nice line of reasoning , completely insane, way to go Goodell !!!

Not sure why people aren’t seeing the implications of just “selling your own jersey.” That’s a situation that is easily exploited. Major universities could promise recruits they’ll ISSUE them award after meaningless award, special uniform items, or other potentially ‘collectible’ materials while they’re enrolled. When the kids put them up on ebay, some booster will pay far beyond any real ‘value’ for them, and Boom- kid’s got a big payday.

Is the NCAA really going to trace ebay members or CraigsList shoppers?
