Under the new Pryor rationale, shouldn’t Reggie Bush be suspended for helping USC forfeit all those wins and its national championship? And shouldn’t Pete Carroll be disciplined for evading NCAA punishment for widespread institutional infractions at USC, prompting him to jump ship to the Seahawks?

Looks like a Slash 2.0. Perhaps a safety.

Again, it would seem impossible that substance and that whose substance it is should exist apart; how, therefore, could the Ideas, being the substances of things, exist apart?

Steeler Nation cha cha chaing all the way to the big game. 7 rings and counting. lolol

mikebrownistheworstownerinprosports- you know what time it is ! Historically minorities in America have to significantly out perform their counterparts. They cant just be equal to or as good as, they have to be a tremendous, unbelievable superman/ woman to receive the same consideration. Remember Warren Moon was not allowed to play qb and had to go to Canada initially. Only after he proved to be a game changer did the league allow him to play qb in the NFL.
I think Terrelle will out perform most of his counterparts by year 3 at qb, if he does not allow the league to force him into another position simply because he is an impressive physical specimen/ mandingo.

He should have been suspended for the bowl game not the next season anyway….. If the NCAA really cared more about teaching him a lesson than making $$ I’m sure watching from the sidelines as your team (probably) loses the one game you worked so hard to get to and knowing it was your actions and not just an injury or fluke… that would hurt a lot more than 5 games the next year! Imagine the looks his teammates would have been giving him as they started losing!

Hey NFL, guess what? Issues of morality aside, what Pyor and all the other athletes in similar situations did before coming to the NFL should really be none of the NFL’s business. I’m not saying it was right or it was wrong but here’s the kicker… If you didn’t publicize info like this then you wouldn’t have o worry about handling the PR with suspensions and what not. Woooooow, mind blowing.

Note to HobartBaker:

Matt Jones? Are you really holding Matt Jones up to support taking Pryor with a #1 round pick? Really?

If a GM takes him in the 1St round, the fans should skin the guy alive

If Pryor goes before R5, I’ll be shocked.

@medtxpack and daburgher ….

Another Steelers fan weighing in

Yes, 6stairwayto7 is extremely annoying lol

No, XLV wasn’t a drubbing–though it should with three turnovers.

And all championships count. Congrats to the Pack on their 13.

Pryor does not care who he plays for or where he plays.

The kid just wants to get paid.

Tats, jewelry, maybe a shiny new escalade.

Is that too much to ask?

A DEAL IS A DEAL!
Roger to Drew: “We’ll let him in the draft ONLY if he accepts a 5 game suspension, no appeal”
Drew: “you got it”

Dude’s #’s were comparable to Cam Newton’s last yr. Why can’t he play QB? 65% compl. 27 tds 11 int. 754 yrd rushing at 5.6 a pop.

I was wrong in my last statement 3 of GB’s superbowls came between 1920-32.. then 5 more before the merger and the actual Super Bowl era. No one really counts those championships except GB fans.

if someone chooses pryor in the 1st round of the supplemental draft and therefore forfeiting their first next year does pryor get paid like a first?

@medtxpack
I’m a steelers fan and yes 6stairwayto7 obviously has a small brain but to say the Steelers got beat bad in last years superbowl is kind of a stretch. Steelers could have won on their last posession but obviously came up short, despite turning the ball over 3 times. and most of those 13 championships that GB has came between 1920-1932 when there were only a dozen teams in the league and no playoffs.

According to Albert Breer Terrelle will be allowed to work with position coachs in individual drills during his suspension. That probably was the carrot that convinced Rosenhaus not to appeal. Team just has to hire Ken Anderson full time, with the money they save on Pryor’s contract and everyone wins in the long run.

@ 6stairwayto7

Since you want to include all the Super Bowls but not reference how bad yall lost last year, just include all history and realize the Pack have more NFL Championships than you and any other team…13….get to double digits and then you can open your mouth….

i cant wait til you go back to school next week and your internet time is limited…

I don’t agree with Goodell about much, but appreciate his handling of this situation. It’s not fair that NCAA players cause their schools to be slammed with sanctions then skip off to the NFL while other kids live with their consequences. Pryor was willing to take his medicine if Tressel had stayed, so he doesn’t fit that category. But it’s still only right that he serve his suspension.

The most important thing is that he have a successful, long-running career that will secure his future. His position is secondary. Tebow said the same thing about a willingness to change positions, but McDaniels may have made that impossible by taking him as a first-round QB. Let’s hope Pryor this draft works out in Pryor’s best interest.

Pryor was targeted 3 times as a receiver in college. He caught all 3 passes and 2 of them were for TDs. Including a Randy Moss style end zone fade grab. He have no trouble becoming top flight receiver if that is what he chooses.

Exactly what the hell are you talking about, stairwayto7? You do know we took XLV, right??

As far as this goes, I haven’t thought Pryor was suited for the QB position as long as I’ve been keeping track of him. (Not all that long) He’d be a suitable backup. That’s it. If he can play WR, or RB, good enough for him. Go do it, but as MLVE said…eat, sleep, and breathe it.
