    How About QB Terrelle Pryor?

    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.

    Re: How About QB Terrelle Pryor?

    Do it.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    Re: How About QB Terrelle Pryor?

    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"

    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.

    You're the one that keeps harping on the team's reluctance to bring anybody in to challenge for the starting job, pretty sure the OP wasn't relative to those comments.

    That's the point...they aren't looking for a starter, they are looking for a back-up. I'll re-iterate...No ****, Sherlock.

    If you think you're so goddamn football smart, why does the point keep sailing over you're head? They are putting their eggs in EJ's basket, and are going to give him more than 10 games to sack up or flame out. Whether you agree with that philosophy or not, and for whatever reasons, is moot...it is what it is.

    Re: How About QB Terrelle Pryor?

    Pryor would be a great add. A QB that can move the chains with his feet and make some throws would be a great compliment to Our RBs.

    The kid can run for 80 yards a game and if he can throw for 150 then we give our D a lot of rest.

    Pryor would be better for this team than Orton.

    It doesn't matter. This late season circus that the FO has put on has completely sealed their fate. New owner will flush the toilet and hire a new FO. #deadmenwalking
