Re: Ohio St. QB Terrelle Pryor Reportedly Thinking of Entering the NFL Supplemental D

Greg Cosell who's been the Sr. Producer for NFL Films for over 3 decades, (he's on Twitter and if you're an NFL fan and not following him, you're doing yourself a disservice..This guy drops gems daily) did a breakdown of Pryor for breaking down some game film.

In short, he reiterates what we all already know. Pryor is not an NFL QB. But if you want details, here's what he had to say.

He starts out by making it clear that his analysis is based solely on tape and has nothing to do with character, intangibles, etc. as he's not had a chance to meet Pryor.

- Pryor again fuels debate regarding NFL QB attributes. Being great athlete in the traditional sense (speed, running) does not translate to QB skills.

- Watched 2 Pryor games today. A number of things stood out. [OSU's] passing game principles were basic. It had predominant 1 read concepts from under center.

- Pryor often pushed the ball, and didn't drive through throws. He had a tendency to lift his back foot off the ground before delivering the ball. Reduces arm strength.

- Poor footwork as he sets & plants to deliver. I have little sense at this point of how the drop of QB syncs up with receivers routes.

- He's not naturally accurate. Scattershot. Over-reactive to perceived pressure. No precision to game. A random, unstructured player.

- Overall he has a long way to go before any chance of being NFL QB. In 2 games I evaluated, he showed no attributes that transition to the NFL.

- I will watch more tomorrow, including the bowl game. I really struggled to find traits that project to an NFL QB. Average arm + inaccurate

Kind of makes you wonder about Ohio State's ability to develop QB talent. Although I realize you can't overcome some things. But Pryor hasn't looked much different than he did his freshman season - at least to me.

Re: Ohio St. QB Terrelle Pryor Reportedly Thinking of Entering the NFL Supplemental D

There was no progression..At all....And that's one of the downsides of coming in with so much hype/hooplah. There was no incentive to work hard. What was Tressel gonna do? Bench him? And put who in? Pryor was well aware of the fact that he had no real pressure behind him. And to a lesser degree, I think that's been the same case with Jordan Jefferson, although Jefferson HAS progressed some (I know our LSU friends here would probably disagree, but I did see improvement, particularly against us and Auburn).

Didn't Herbie call OSU out for that a year or two ago?

While we're on the topic, here is LSUFreek's latest work of art.

Edit: Taking it down. Just noticed profanity in the gif's background. Check EDSBS if you want to see it.

Great work! Not surprised TP left early. Didn't think he would sit for 5 games. I agree with most here, he will regret this move IMO. He could have made more $ by staying at Ohio State. :)

On College Football Live they showed him announcing his committment to "The University of Ohio State." What a dork.

Kid has hired Drew Rosenhaus as his agent. I don't think even Drew can pull this one off. He has NFL athletic ability. But not NFL QB talent. Meaning that if he wants to play at the next level, his best choice would be to humble himself like Antwan Randel-El and make a good living playing a different position.

Thought for the day: Any apology where you don't say specifically say what you're sorry for doing isn't really an apology.

Pryor's got some serious growing up to do.
