    Will you refer to it and say "I told you he was a terrible passer. . . " or "I told you he was going to be a great passer?" Just want to clarify for future reference.

    2009 prediction: 8-8, with a much more respectible looking team, and hopefully 3-3 in the division with at least 1 win over each team.

  • He is EXACTLY a freshman. As a junior, the tag would be understandable. As a freshman, Pryor shows TREMENDOUS talent.

    It's just that his passing skills should develop for next year.

    And then, develop more his junior year. If his passing skills develop greatly, you're going to be amazed at how his

    stock soars.

    Or not. But to judge him as a freshman, in his first bowl game? Against a hell of a good defense? Way off the mark.

    I thought the pressure was getting to him a bit in the second half.

  • Fooleeze.............and as my not frequent agreeer Cal stated......and as Riffer concurs....Pryor is a talent................so you decide which side I come from...............he can play and play huge...............

    hammering a true freshman in his first huge game on the big time stage........is for fools

    does that answer your question?

    Offense Wins.......Franchise QB's are the key.............Defense keeps you in the game.........Go Buckeyes

    hammering a true freshman in his first huge game on the big time stage........if for fools

    does that answer your question?

    I think so, just wanted to be sure. I think he'll be good, and will be a fine passer. . . just wanted to see what side you were coming from.

  • We agree on Pryor and I added more to my message.......full content works better...........if you can edit yours....

  • The staff taught Troy Smith to be a pass first QB by his junior year. They can certainly teach Pryor. His biggest problem that I've noticed is he seems to lack the confidence to throw the ball into tight spaces, or to a spot before the receiver is open. He starts to scramble to buy time, and doesn't plant his back foot to throw. That's why he wasn't getting anything on his passes against Texas.

    He'll get better.

    I think part of that might be his arm strength and confidence. I'm sure things are moving much faster in the college game than high school. But give this guy some time.. He has HUGE potential. Watching him out run the defense of USC was great, to bad he had to do it to many times.

    That's like me saying I want to develop into a female super model. I'm starting off at a bit of a disadvantage.

    Seriously... he throws DREADFULLY. And he isn't 12 years old.

    Dreadfull is a great word for his performance against texas.... sickening comes to mind as well!

    Passing? Maybe. Overall performance? OUTSTANDING and FANTASTIC are two that come to mind. Give him a healthy Beanie in the second half, he pulls out the upset.

  • No Question as a football player he has supreme talent...as a passer in the Texas game??? That was truly and awful performance. I've seen 6th grade flag football Qb's with better plant and throw and follow throughs.

  • Pryor played AA ball here in MY hometown... against school with graduating classes of 50 to 63. He wasnt playing prep schools or against anyone else who is even playing Div I football.

    Give the guy some more time to adjust to the speed of the game.
