i dont see Pryor traded, though, it would be great for his future if he was traded to a team like Carolina (back up Newton and learn from him) or Eagles (Reid and Vick), but i dont. the Raiders will likely use him as a project QB which wouldnt be a bad idea as it could work if he tries to improve and works hard and at least he’s saying and doing all the right things now.

I agree with the earlier comment about Mckenzie moving on.
He’s not invested in this kid, and I don’t think he’s seen anything in the pre-season to grab him.
He’s probably looking for a trade that replaces the third that they used on him.
Probably not, though.
Likely no better than a 4th or lower.
He’s just eating a roster spot right now…

He would get on the field if he was willing to catch the ball, but it’s tough these days to bring a guy along slowly at quarterback. Especially a guy that doesn’t even wear a mouth guard. I wish him well, but am guessing McKenzie will move on sooner than later.

Since Pryor has been drafted, I’ve heard him talk more then he’s made completions. Maybe there is something in the water in the Raiders QB room. It’s causing their QB’s to be delusional.

At least he took responsibility for what happened in college.

What’s Pete Carroll waiting for?

great attitude. had jamarcus had the same attitude drive and work ethic he very well may be a top 5 qb in the league now. i like that he has also contacted and sought out the help of rich gannon.
keep up the hard work young man! hope to see you successful when you do start on sundays

i know one this kid can run like a deer, unfortunately thats because the 3rd string o-line can’t block for him at all, so he needs to run.

Either a player has it or he does not … until he prove he can play in the NFL it’s a non-story. Hey there are players who have played in the NFL that are unsigned or getting cut this week … seriously a 3rd string QB is getting headlines.

“I’m in a good place”

Someone remind him he’s in Jokeland.

“I’m learning from the best”

Uhhmm, and who is that? Pick-Six Palmer or My Pinky Hurts Leinert?

Good luck buddy.

At least not as many, lol. We’ll check him out Sat. for he will probably come in after Carson due to Matt’s finger injury/headshot Friday.

Good to see there aren’t any haters here like there is on CBS and Silver and Black Pride. A bunch of ol geezers there that always hated on Pryor. If the coaches hone the offense to his strengths ala Cam Newton the guy can be a weapon.

No way he will become great. Stiff

I don’t know if he’ll be great or not, but I’ve been amazed at how good his attitude is. Staying late, working on the real skills he’ll need instead of just being a runner. When you see him in the games he’s almost TOO hard on himself.

Pryor needs to be in a developmental league not the NFL. He needs time and reps. under strict supervision to progress and even then “greatness” will probably elude him.

Hope he succeeds as a qb. He would look good as a receiver too.

He might be as good as Troy Smith one day if he continues to work his tail off.

He’s certainly got all the physical tools to be great. If he can get his head/heart in the game, and find a team that will give him a serious chance, sure – he could be amazing. Those are big ifs, though.

Just an athlete showing confidence without arrogance. Notice he didn’t say he was already great, just that he believes he can be.

Nice to hear. Of course, it won’t stop the next 50 posters from taking shots at him, but still nice to hear.
