“They don’t know exactly if I’m gonna run the ball or can I hold onto the ball a little bit and add a little extra time to get a receiver open where I can do a three-step drop and throw the ball in time. ”

How can one do a three step drop after holding on to the ball? Kid will be a run first QB….and that means it will break down.

Finally people are seeing that Carson Palmer has always been the most overrated QB in the league, and i would be surprised if Oakland doesn’t him (but this is OAKLAND, after all).

I just rewatched some of his college highlights and i can honestly say i forgot how good he was in college. He has an absolute CANNON of an arm, and on a lot of his deep throws he showed some unfair accuracy and touch. the problem is consistency, he will be unbelievable one moment and mediocre the next. i think this dude has the ability to be great, he is lterally built like a way faster Cam Newton, and if you watch his tape on runs you can tell hes looking to protect himself at the end of plays. could be pretty good if oyu ask me.

Go ahead and downvote me but you raider fans are delusional if you think pryor’s unofficial pro day 40 is proof he’s faster than RG3. They use a hand held timer. It might be a close race if they’re both healthy, but RG3 is a legit NFL passer. Pryor has a lot more to prove than his mobility

haters are going to hate regardless, but no dobt about it Pryor for his size is one of the fastest guy in the nfl, behind Vernon Davis…Both of them are freakish to be that big, and be that quick..

Let’s face it. The Raiders don’t have much to lose. See what Pryor can do. He created a lot of excitement with the Buckeyes. Won a lot of games too.

Terelle Pryor, Al Davis’s last genius pick! And to think we only used a third on him! He may not be a starter next year but he is definitely on his way.

pryor had a faster 4o than rg3 at his pro day, and that combined with rg3′s knee is a reason skins fans shouldn’t have much to say about it. also, he’ll never be the QB rg3 is, so i doubt skins fans care. i get it that he probably grew up idolizing mike vick, but at this point vick is probably slower than him, rg3 and kaepernick. anyway, i like TP, and i kinda fealt bad with all of the fallout from the tattoo “scandal” at OSU. i really wish the ncaa would stop pretending that all of these star college athletes aren’t getting handed things left and right. as far as his pro career, as much as i’d like to see him succeed, something about his mechanics just makes me worry. i don’t know that he’ll ever have a legit nfl arm. i don’t know if he’ll ever be able to fix his release to allow him to get the ball out quick, and i don’t know if he’ll ever be as accurate as he can be, because of that unorthodox throwing style. but i hope he proves he can do all of those things.

When the first, and perhaps only accolades I hear about a Q.B. is how fast he is, I worry, even in this day of option play. I remember one of the tales of Jamarcus Russell was he could throw a ball 60 yards in the air on his knees. We all saw how that turned out.
All that being said, I hope he can be successful in his competition and live up to the demands of

I am all for this kid making it work. He has the potential to be the NFL’s next Cinderella story. On the other hand, I really don’t want to see yet another running QB in the league. Call me old fashion, but I much prefer the pocket passers. All these running QB’s make it too much like college ball for me.

Pryor is faster than RG3 and the now beat on Vick. Pryor should be the fastest QB in the league. Not that it matters much if you can’t get on the field though. He has to prove that his arm is better than when he was drafted. Also, learning to read a defense should be at the top of his list to work on. The only other flaw is the fact that he never steps into his throws. He relies on arm strength to get the ball where Its going, which is the wrong way.
I do hope we get to see Pryor get a shot to start. He has all of the tools, he just needs to learn how to use them more efficiently.

“You have to like that he’s confident but not bragging up anything he’s already done. He seems content to earn his way, not have anything handed to him.”

Hard to say if he’ll develop, but Oakland fans have to be happy wit the attitude.

What has he already done – beside nothing in the nfl????

Pryor talked a lot about his speed but curiously never mentioned his arm. This is where he falls way behind the other young mobile QB’s that have speed AND crazy arm strength.

He was never a great passer at Ohio State. In fact, what made him so remarkable is that he could throw two incompletions on first and second down, and then run for 12 yards on third and 10. Can’t operate like that in the NFL.

He says the right things… now. Wait until the spotlight is really on him.

Hopefully he has changed since his days in Columbus, but as an alum of TOSU he is and always will be an arrogant waste.

There are many reasons why this guy is going on his 3rd in the NFL and has played only a hand full of downs. He’s a cancer that will spread in the locker room that will bring down the teams morale. I agree that Carson Palmer is on his way out and is no longer a good fit with the Raiders, but they should either trade for a better QB or draft one if possible. I mean after all, you would that the Raiders learned their lesson with Jamarcus Russell!

Huge Raider/USC trojan fan…so I love all three qbs.

Palmer is the best to win now, even though we won’t win much now regardless.

Leinart is not great…plain and simple.

Pryor is still a question mark…let the kid play, I want to see if there is anything. @ worst we get to draft the number 1 qb next season and start over…let him try

you’ve got to be kidding me Pryor over Palmer what a joke this franchise is no wonder they haven’t done anything since 1983. Thats 30 years 30.!!!! Go losers.

Finally people are seeing that Carson Palmer has always been the most overrated QB in the league, and i would be surprised if Oakland doesn’t him (but this is OAKLAND, after all).

As far as Pryor goes, he probably deserves a shot, but I bet they’ll draft Tyler Wilson or Mike Glennon to compete with him.

I’m a Denver fan and thus always hope things turn out the worst for the Raiders.

But when it comes to Terelle Pryor, he was dealt a crap hand by the NCAA, forced to come out earlier than he should have, hasn’t caused any issues, buckled down and worked as hard as he can…

I really want to see this kid succeed. Hopefully on another team. Maybe in the NFC. Far away from Denver.

But I don’t see how you can dislike the kid.

Kid says everything right and they still find a way to take a shot at him. I don’t think the people in Washington care about a race, they are happy with their situation and hoping for a fully recovery. But hopefully the kid gets a chance

I am a fan of both the Raiders and the Redskins, I could not tell you who is truly faster. I saw Pryor play, live, in the Sugarbowl, why not ask the Razorbacks (of the SEC) how fast he is. There were times he made thier D look like highschoolers.

Not sure why Pryor gets so much hate. The guy isn’t an options QB, he ran a pro-style offense at Ohio. Besides that he seems like a hard worker, he’s said all the right things and just keeps pushing.
