A Humble attitude and move WR I see some success A+. If he keeps a hard line on being a QB I see a flop F.

As a diehard PSU fan who was gutted when he committed to OSU, I have to say this is the hilarious thing with TP.

He’s a freak on the measurables…but he’s never been a good QB. What difference, in the NFL, does 40 time mean for a QB? Anyone?

And TP’s being overrated has more to do with his supporting cast…OSU was loaded at every position for his three years. The best that can be said about him is that he’s not terrible and his best skills are useless as a QB in the NFL.

Way too much is made of a 40 time. Way too much — very disproportionate when compared to all the factors that add up to actual production. Like the archaic 158.3 max QB rating, the 40 time’s usefulness is limited.

Renaldo “Skeets” Nehemiah was blazingly fast also – could cook at light speed over the hurdles too. Didn’t mean he could play football though.

Like Skeets, Pryor lacks the mental make-up to play on Sundays.

I didn’t know he was that fast wow. If i was a GM with a few extra draft picks, i wouldn’t mind picking him up in the mid rounds to install a wildcat package. then trade him for a 2nd rounder jk.

Nice!!!!!

Usually, people projecting 40 times for quarterbacks are usually wrong. This is one of the few times the predictors (mainly/including Drew Rosenhaus) were right!!!

His body measurement relative to his speed reminds me of megatron currently with the lions lol no doubt he’s an athlete but can he beast it on the field? We shall find out maybe sometime this season

Yeah i remember another kid who was about that size and played quarterback, he actuall ran a touch faster too, his name was Matt Jones…’nuff said

i believe the Colts should take him honestly let him learn behind one of the greatest to play the position considering Peyton only has like 3 or 4 years left in the neck and body of his….he will evolve into a great QB with speed….which would be a good change of pace for the Colts

Was he trying to outrun a flash flood?

Great… another QB that has outstanding combine stats… But he can’t stay in the pocket and read a defense.

Welcome to the Raiders kid.

He should definitely be a WR and it’s not only because he’s incredibly fast, although that helps. As for whether he can catch or not, he only ran one route in college and looked like a natural.

@scudbot

VY is gone after this year, He wants to be a starter and thats not happening in Philly. We picked him up to trade him for picks. If Vick does go down, VY will come in and if he plays well he might earn himself a contract with the Eagles.

But they had no intention of keeping him long term when they picked him up, just a value move to stock pile draft picks, so don’t get ur panties in a bunch.

6’5, 230 lbs, and an official 4.38 40? He’s a Raider. I can’t wait.

From Ibabuzz several months ago:

“He’s (Pryor) got classic Raider speed. Talked at length with Doug Plank the former Bears’ safety who as a volunteer assistant last year with the Buckeyes. He said Pryor was the fastest player on the Ohio State roster.”

Faster than Chimdi Chekwa? The fastest guy at the combine, who da Raiduhs drafted? Hell yes.

Ronald Curry’s ACL injuries never happened. Pryor is a Raider. Mark it down.

“T. Pryor can’t play QB in the NFL”. Comes from the same guy that said “Mike Vick will be nothing more than a running back when he gets out of the clink”. You know who you are, and there’s a lot of you. You’re the same guy that said “Randy Moss going to the Patriots? He’s lost a step don’t worry about him”. Yeah cause he only broke J Rice’s single season TD record among other accomplishments there. Arm chair fortune teller enthusiasts don’t have a very good record when it comes to NFL issues so give Pryor a chance and if it doesn’t work out than go ahead and pat yourself on the back but for now keep your assumptions to yourself

going to washington would be the perfect fit with the running game and all the play actions plays they run plus they have very good qb coaches, look at what there doing with beck and grossman, half you guys dont know football you just watch it, prolly cant even play football and here you guys go judging lol get another hobby and get off the kids back

phillyfan4ever says: “I can see Mike pulling for Terrell and mentoring him to be the next eagles QB.” Poor Vince Young. Got himself a Dream Team and already he’s being thrown under the Philly bus by Philly fans. Put down the cheese steak and ask yourself why Mike Vick would help out a guy who wants his job. Remember “It’s not in my contract to mentor Aaron Rodgers”?

why so much hate on this kid, just because you guys couldn’t make from high school to college to the pros doesn’t mean this kid wont. He has a lot of upside and if he get with the right team and in the right system i believe he will turn heads and then of course every one will be on his B@llz!! back up give the kid a break!

Can he tackle? That’s the real question.

Ah. Fast. Big. Hero worships Vick. Character issues. “Pryor is a raw quarterback who needs to greatly improve his accuracy if he is ever going to become a quality starting QB in the NFL… Pryor’s accuracy ranked 36th out of 40.” That meets all the specs necessary for 1/4 of the GMs in the league to mortgage the farm. A Wonderlic score of 15 or less would bring in another 1/4.

Is this where we talk about his intelligence or lack there of? Wasn’t he like a Dean List type guy or something? I’m sure all me ‘neck friends will gladly tell us why he’s bust waiting to happen and why no team will be interested. Oh yeah and why he shouldn’t even be allowed to play in the NFL. Sorry, I’m late.
