How About QB Terrelle Pryor?

[Guest]

Check who beat him out...

Seahawks released QB Terrelle Pryor.

Pryor loses out to Tarvaris Jackson for the backup job in Seattle. Despite his limitations as a passer, Pryor's unique physical traits should ensure he is not on the street for long. Pryor completed 21-of-39 passes for 281 yards (7.2 YPA), a touchdown and two interceptions this preseason. He added 97 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

He's too good for the Bills roster...

I'd still like to know the inside scoop on TJax and his time here.

He's an athlete playing QB.. but can take off on long runs and hit some nice passes. Checks down frequently, like a lot of inexperienced QB's do a little much... but that's because he forced some bad throws as a Raider last year trying to do too much.. 11 Ints-7 TD's...

Carroll told him to protect the ball and may have helped him some this summer.

Wouldn't be surprised at all to see him claimed.

He's the kind of player that fans will be clamoring for by the bye week.

Can't have someone that could potentially challenge EJ for the starting job. On the field, in the locker room, in the fanbase, all of the above.

Oh yeah, someone will. Just wouldn't surprise me much for the Bills to back up a project QB with a project QB. I mean he's no Thad Lewis but hey. It seems to make sense in their world so who am I to fight it. Technically Brady Quinn is a vet too to "mentor" and I'm not sure any QB signing will surprise me much again.

I don't know why some keep harping on this point. The team invested a first-round pick on him, and they are going to give him more than one season (10 games) to prove whether or not he was worth it. No ****, Sherlock. Accept it and move on.

We may have already gone past that boundary, I was thirsting for a QB controversy with Jordan Palmer who was Jordan Palmer.

I didn't create the thread for Pryor did I? Direct your quote at the appropriate person.

No one of value will be brought in at the QB position, although another bum will likely be brought aboard to play 3rd string and very well may get in some game action.

Don't worry though, if another team releases an NFL ready type QB...there will be a thread about signing him too.

Hell people are on the sign Kyle Orton kick. And there were people who said Rex Grossman should have been given a look.

I agree with you, it's EJ's ship sink or, well, sink. And to be honest that ****ing blows since it's been 14 years of no relevant football and a missed opportunity with how good the rest of the squad is.

Pryor will have to clear waivers, so if the Bills want to claim him they have to hope St. Louis doesn't first.

Re: How About QB Terrelle Pryor?

On Twitter, Tim Graham said he sent a message to a source in the front office asking about the possibility of Pryor. The text he received in return - "LOL"
(Sorry for no link. Look it up)

People who keep "harping on it" actually watch him play, understand what they are looking at, and can plainly see what a misfire that pick was.

Accuracy - fail
field presence - fail
footwork - fail
confidence - fail
agility - fail
toughness - fail
mobility - fail
field of vision - fail
reading defenses - fail
arm strength - fair

It's never too soon to admit your failures and move on, if you can make improvements. They can keep him, let him hold a clipboard and learn. He wasn't ready to start right out of the box.
