  • Im thinking WR or some type of hybrid receiver/TE, but would be shocked if they try him at QB ...

    Thinks its kind of a wild swing, just in case they can catch lightening in a bottle......

    Not expecting much really....though maybe they'll at lease get a lil Bengal Offensive insight while he here....

  • This is funny as hell to me.

    I definitely will root for him, but I'm more interested in seeing what many of the people who have shit all over Pryor in the past will say.

    Already buying the jersey I am sure.

  • he'll be gone before the first pre-season game.

    i mean really, which QB or a WR is he going to beat out on this team?

    i guess farmer thinks you can find diamonds in dog shit once in a while.

    He's a Zircon

  • Pryor, Your Welcome! It's your last Ohio Gift and you don't have till Xmas to open it. Go Bucks!!

  • WR. He could be a good one too, maybe.

    or not.

    I don't think he beats out anyone at QB or WR to earn a position. I think he earns a position as a flex, H-back type TE and then I think he stays just because of his "jack of all trades" ability.

    He's 6'4, 235, runs a 4.4 40 and can be an emergency quarterback if we find ourselves in that position. He fits into the offensive philosophy they seem to be implementing - i.e. a bunch of weapons in a bunch of different places.

    Assuming Pryor develops even a little bit, he could be a viable receiving TE and redzone threat large body WR. He's less polished but infinitely more athletic than Dray, who is primarily a blocking TE. He's probably only slightly behind our rookies in the learning curve, but he comes with the added experience of being an NFL QB and learning under different NFL coordinators.

    I know this is homerism and its likely misplaced enthusiasm, but I am quite excited to see Pryor as a TE. He's no different than the Cameron experiment, except he comes to the team a few years older and with one less year of TE experience.

  • Interesting. Hit him quick on a bubble screen or something. Get the ball in his hands fast and let him use his athleticism. He has nfl talent. Just not a qb.

  • Jesus Christ no.

  • Jesus Christ no.

    See my new thread on the Extra point issue for why this guy may actually have some value....beyond being a tryout WR.

  • Obviously, Flip is familiar with Pryor, so he may know how he might fit in his offense.

    We'll see.

  • Hes a better backup QB than our current one....

    As I said in a prior (pun intended?) thread it's just a shame he didn't wake up from the start and realize his best shot was exactly what you're talking about. If he would have practiced the craft before arriving in the NFL who knows where he could be now.

  • His long speed/build reminds me a lot of Gordon

    Both have a long stride, effortless motion, and quick turnover that allow them to outrun most

    Pryor gives value to the team as a 5th receiver (slot), 3rd TE and emergency QB. Get him coached up to be a gunner and you have a valuable player

    Based on their previous NFL bodies of work, this is true.

    I actually don't mind Pryor as a potential backup/ emergency QB. He caught a lot of shit for his poor performance, and deservedly so, but he also did show (very brief) flashes of extraordinary NFL talent - mainly while on the move. His arm strength is lacking, his choices were questionable and he doesn't work up the pocket as well as you'd like, but the guy is a true athletic talent and that's undeniable. He was one of the highest rated athletic talents coming out of high school in the past 20 years, if I recall correctly.

    Unfortunately, he's proven that he'll never be a true NFL drop back passer. But it's definitely not a bad move to take a crack at him at TE/WR. He has the same measurables as many of these TE converts, he's said he's willing to make the transition and he's crazy cheap (probably).

    We don't have any truly transcendant talent at TE and the players that make up our WR corps, while full of potential, haven't done much of anything recently with the exception of Gabriel.

    Also, does anyone not see the irony in the fact that he's basically Manziel's athleticism in McCown's body? I wouldn't be surprised if we saw him take some snaps at QB just for shiggles.

  • Pryor as a gunner... That would be something...

  • Second best QB on roster. That's worth a laugh right there.

  • This is funny as hell to me.

    I definitely will root for him, but I'm more interested in seeing what many of the people who have shit all over Pryor in the past will say.

    LOL Tim- must be an Ohio State thing. Braxton Miller still fancies himself as a quarterback. Odds of him beating out Smith or Jones are remote, and in the NFL- about zero.

  • Under/over on his time with the browns - 12.5 days?
