Wrong. He is the most objective one of the whole ESPN crew. Just because he doesn't swallow the OSU Kool Aid you guys hate him.
Irony.

Anytime OSU plays somebody in the top 25, he says they are going to lose. He is the first person to say that OSU is going to get upset, to lose a bowl game, ect. There is being overly objective to make it seem like you not rooting for your amla mater and then there is literally shitting on them every week on National TV regardless of the opponent. Lee Corso picks the Bucks to win more than Kirk does.

Wrong. Let Ramzy of the awesome 11Warriors describe:
http://www.elevenwarriors.com/2011/05/concrete-blonde
"Herbstreit has been castigated wholesale by his own because he repeatedly speaks out of both sides of his mouth. Each and every time he is called out for that hypocrisy he has trashed the Ohio State fan base with the same strawman defense that you (people like BigBrownsFan above) keep swilling down without any critical thought whatsoever."
And to those of you who still believe ESPN is "unbiased" vs Ohio State, read the following link:

Umm then why were they 21 and 14 when playing teams who finished the season in the top 25 since Tressel took over as coach. Ya they were a 8 and 10 in that time against teams in the top 10, but those are the teams where it is supposed to be a very close game. His record against teams finishing 11-25 is 17-4 yet everytime OSU plays one of those team Herbstreat calls for OSU to lose, probably because he never really managed to accomplish anything himself when he played there and doesn't want them to accomplish anything now.

Jeez....Mark May hates the Buckeyes. I guess you never noticed?
He hates OSU, Notre Dame, & Michigan, just to be clear.
His "hate" of OSU, ND, and Mich. is simply a manifestation of his inferiority complex by having gone to Pitt. I suspect those other schools didn't think enough of his talents to try to recruit him, and he maintains that grudge.

Herbstreit probably picks against them so much just so he won't be accused of being a homer...so that he won't be accused of losing his journalistic "integrity". I can understand how that could happen in his position.
But, I will say this: it seems that the OSU football program must also have a very fine alliance with their communications program, and a direct link to ESPN. Look at all the OSU guys on there as analysts. Herbstriet, Robert Smith, Spielman, Chris Carter....and I may be missing someone..

I think this is a good post and question. On one hand, the Browns haven't exactly gotten anywhere trying to sign goody two shoes players, and we have watched more than our share of good talent pass us by for personal reasons not directly related to football.
I personally wouldn't pick him up, and here is why.
1) I think he would have an attitude about being converted.
2) He isn't a natural reciever and we would wind up with another Cribbs. Athletic, but unable to excell in a real skilled position.
3) I don't think he is very good at QB.
4) His OSU action portray him as a coward.
He isn't going anywhere in the NFL. His 15 minutes of fame have flickered out.
Again, I say: Show me one thing that Cam Newton has done in his career that that Pryor hasn't. (Besides winning the national title...yea, Newton's team won 1 more game than Pryor)
Their career stats are as follows:
Newton: 191 comp. 292 att. 2908 yds. 66% comp. pct. 30 TDs 7 ints 285 rushes 1586 yards 24 TDs
Pryor: 477 comp. 783 att. 6177 yds. 61 comp. pct. 57 TDs 26 ints. 436 rush 2164 yds. 19TDs
Note that Pryor started since his fresman year. Newton threw all of 12 passes in his fresh and soph seasons.
For just their last season, here is how the stats matchup:
Newton 185 comp. on 280 atts. 66.1 comp. pct. 2854 yds. 30 TDs 7 ints. 264 rushes 1473 yds. 20 TDs 5.6 ypc
Pryor 210 comp. on 323 atts. 65% comp. pct 2772 yds 27 TDs 11 ints 135 rushes 754 yds. 4 TDs. 5.6 ypc
Other than those 20 rushing TDs vs. 4 for Pryor, there is not a lot of statistical differences here that I see.

And note: Don't talk to me about Newton's superior integrity over Pryor. Newton's family shopped his services for a couple of hundred K. In my opinion he got that money, its just that Auburn was far superior at hiding it.
And also note this: Any discussion about these two now should have only to do with how well they will play in the pros. They will all eventually get tons of money, so whatever cash they may have gotten in college is irrelevent.
To me, whatever team gets Pryor will be taking a commodity that is basically on the same level as Newton....are far less of a risk in terms of draft positioning.
Along those lines, here are the comments from one respected NFL authority:
Adam Jardy of Scout.com reports via twitter that former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor has hired ex-NFL coach and current Monday Night Football analyst Jon Gruden as his trainer. Speaking at the 80th annual Ohio State Football Clinic in April, Gruden said that Pryor has dominated college football and could make it in the NFL. I have met Terrelle Pryor, had a chance to watch him. This is a freak of nature. This guy is really something with the ball in his hands. Pryor can run and he can throw and hes a hell of a competitor. "You might have to cater your offense, to a degree, towards his strengths, but I think this guy can develop his passing. His win-loss record speaks for itself. Hes not playing against the choir boys. This is a guy thats dominated college football.

That's a lot of rushing TD's Gipper... That's the difference between Vick and every other mobile QB.
It may simply be a function of their offense. I note that in Auburn's offense, Newton did carry the load in terms of TDs on the Ground.
Auburn had 41 rushing TDs. Ohio State had 26. Of Auburn's rush TDs, Newton had 20. In OSU's offense, it was RB Dan Herron who got the call when it came to rushing for TDs. He had 16. Maybe if Tressel had called for Pryor's number in goal line situations, like apparently Auburn did quite a bit of, Pryor would have had a lot more TDs. But Tressel gave the ball to the RB, not the QB.

George Whitfield, who worked with Cam Newton before the draft had this to say on ESPN:
Cam Newton and Terrelle Pryor are comparable. Terrelle is a guy who is going to want to improve his mechanics and there's no evidence to suggest he can't. Cam seemed to have more confidence in his arm strength. But the tools and the ceiling for those two are comparable.

Sorry Gip....Auburn didn't hide anything.
If evidence is there, it can be found.

Whoa there, kimozombie, where did Cam Newton enter into this? I didn't say shit about Newton. But since you threw that in, I agree with you, Pryor is shit, just like Cam Newton is shit. Neither of these turds is going anywhere in the NFL.
Two shit players. Kordell Stewart clones without the fellatio.
I entered Cam Newton into this Ghoolie because I said that whatever crap happened in college with them all getting money etc. is now irrelevent when evaluating their future pro potential. In that regard I said I thought that Pryor and Newton had much the same skill set.
I may not necessarily agree with you that they will both turn out to be Kordell Stewart clones....but I recognize the validity of that. To me they both seem to have a lot of Vince Young in them. Vince Young was good for a bit, until NFL coaches figured him out, then he flamed out emotionally then athletically.
The difference I see that may make them a bust or a boom is what is between their ears. We see this business with Pryor taking money and seeming selfish and narcissistic and immature, but it will all come down to how well he does mature.
Right now, right here, no one can claim they know how good a QB either Pryor or Newton will end up being. And the same goes for Jake Locker and Andy Dalton and everyone else drafted this past draft.

Only a matter of time until the suckeyes fans want the Browns to pick him up...

I think that as soon as the word got out I bet some in the Browns FO were wondering if it would be worth it. Maybe get a package deal bring in Pryor and for a new asst. coach...introducing Terssel. That would pop some eyes don't you think?

No thanks to Pryor as a pro i dont have much faith in Cam Newton ethier, i watched alot of OSU games and with the hype that Pryor came into Ohio St. with i thought he actually underacheived.
I think the only way he may succeed is if The Bills take a chance on him and let him sit behind Fitzpatrick for awhile and let Chan Gailey design an offense around some of his strengths.
But he more than likely he'll end up probaly in Washington or Oakland and have a terrible career that is even if he gets a chance to start.
This years whole QB class im not sold on..
Newton-Overhyped
Locker-Incredible Athlete but he needs time
Ponder-Reminds me a lil of Chad Pennington has a chance with Peterson and Harvin,but hes still questionable in certain situations seen alot of FSU games and he didnt look like a First round NFL QB to me
Dalton-A winner but theres something i dont see there plus he went to Cincy,has a chance since AJ is there and Shipley both great Receivers.
Karepernick-I actually like him best outta this class as long as he has time to develop with Harbaugh. Hes got a scary release and can run as well
Mallet- Has the luxury of sitting behind Brady and basically learning the game from one of the greatest ethier he'll make the most of it or he'll bust
