OSUs Pryor should use the Romo excuse(s)....

[MONT17]

Poor Coaching/play calling... Weak Oline/guys running free rushing the passer... WRs not knowing what to do and dropping passes... injuries to RBs.



Pryor would be the perfect replacement for Romo in 2011 or whenever he decides to enter the draft!

:bang2: You're annoying.

Pryor can't throw the ball. Until he learns to do that he will not be an NFL QB. He is still very young, so he may learn to throw it. He is just way behind in development at this stage in his career.

I think he is right where a Quarterback with his abilities should be.

Once he knows the game better he will make better plays.

I tried to tell some of my Longhorn buddies that. People can't seem to think big picture with these guys.

All you have to do is watch Pryor to know he has talent. Just because he is 18 and starting doesn't mean he has topped out.

He has Vince Young upside with a better arm, at this point, in both players careers.

The one player i've never been impressed with is Beanie Wells. I think he is a bust at the next level. TJ Duckett style.

Robiskie played a heck of a game. Jenkins looked solid also.

Well he is a true freshman who was not getting help from WR who dropped several passes on the night. I expect Pryor to be much improved as he works during the off-season. As a Texas Longhorns fan I tip my hat to OSU for one hell of a game.

I do think Pryor is talented. I don't doubt that at all. He just has a long ways to go, which obviously means he has not topped out. I like the Vince Young comparison. VY got to sit and watch his freshman season as a red shirt. Pryor has not. He could have used a year of sitting.

What may hurt his development is that he is at Ohio State. This is not a passing QB school. Tressel is a good coach and will do what he can to maximize Pryor's talents to win games, but winning games in college does not mean that Pryor will be developing his passing skills for the next level. Boekman threw almost as many passes as Pryor last night and really did not look that good, either. And he is a passing QB that is a senior.

I stick with my stance that Pryor has a long ways to go. That doesn't mean I don't think he will make it. It is just going to take a lot for him to develop into an NFL QB, so I am not counting on him becoming a Dallas Cowboy.

I agree about Beanie Wells. He is good when there is a nice big hole to run through. He follows his blocks well, but he doesn't really create things for himself before or through the line of scrimmage. He is good once he is past the LOS, which is good for a running back. At the NFL level you oftentimes have to create chances for yourself in order to be truly successful. Julius Jones is a good example. He was fine once he got through the line, but he could not create his own holes. Wells will be a decent back, but I don't see him as a premier back in the NFL.

I think when you have a kid with the raw talents of Pryor you can develop him. I don't think it is a major task he has a very good arm and made the correct reads for the most part but needs to work on his foot work. I'm not saying he will ever be a pro QB way too early to know that but the kid has talent and a lot of raw ability I'm sure the OSU coaching staff will put a lot of time into his development

Pryor obviously need to work and work hard this offseason on his passing.

That said...he was only right out of high school and didn't work with the starters until the fourth game of the year.

Having a full year under his belt and starting in the spring knowing that he's the starter and being able to work with his receivers as such will IMO help him greatly.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Pryor = green as grass.

Great career ahead of him however.

 

[Rampage]

Pryor needs work cause he's just like Vince Young was in the NFL

He needs to learn how to walk before he can run.

Learning technique and the playbook will put his game at a entirely different level.

Learn those 2 things and then start trying to develop yourself as a passer.

Mastering those 2 things slows the game down tremendously.
