Another year working under QB coach Flip and a year working with an OC that has groomed young QB’s before could be just what he needs to make the leap.

Hire Chris Ault as OC instead who created both the pistol power run scheme and Kapernik while in Vegas. Ault left last year and could develop Pryor the same way. Go get Tebow for cheap and nobody’s wanting and bring him in to start with Pryor. Defenses cant stop the pistol, look at the RG3′s, Russell, Newton, Kapernik? The NFL is changing the way QB’S play and Tebow and Pryor fit the mold especially Pryor who i believe can be the Raiders franchisr QB. Just give him the chance. Sure he is a little rough around the edges but they can be smoothed out. Shake it up Reg and lets get back to winning again! Fan since 75′ Just Win Baby, this could be our finest hour…RIP Al!

So long as the alter the offense to take advantage of his skill set. He isn’t terribly inaccurate and he has the brains to play the position. Great size too .

That’s always a good read. SMH.

Palmer gets restructured,put on notice and probably gets better with a real OC. Pryor will definitely improve and may the best QB win! Then the Raider nation will celebrate!

I hope he becomes a franchise guy. We love beating storylines to death. what better one then Al’s last pick who everyone wrote off leading the team for years. Then I’ll give him some new tats for some Raiders memorabilia.

I.e kaepernick, Wilson, Tebow. raiders do not have that. players like luck and rg3 take marginal talent around them and make them better.

Keep fine tuning his footwork and mechanics, but his biggest need now is experience. He made some bad throws because he looked unsure, and just lobbed the ball instead of firing a strike. In any capacity next season, he’ll definitely bring excitement with his big play ability. Starter or not he needs to be in the gameplan.

Is Pryor really the QB of the future, that Im not sure. But the fact that the new regime is open to experimenting is a breath of fresh air!!
