Pryor UFA at the end of this year

Kvoethe

Really turning into a baller!

Was wiilling to do what Tim Tebow wouldnt, learn another position

Has a great relationship with Hue, Hue has believed in him since before cleveland job.

I worry we will try to lowball him and he will walk. I think if we give him a fair deal he stays because of Hue. He is 27 yrs old, which suprised me, I thought he was younger.

He is deceptively fast which will take kessler some getting used to.

I think we must sign him to a decent but not tooooo long of a deal.

What say you?

Pay him what we would have paid Gordon had he ever given up the dope. He's made himself worth it and likely feels a lot of loyalty to the team that gave him a chance to develop.

Good answer, good answer!!! Get R Done!

Let's just wait and see how the season turns of for him. If he continues to performs at this level, then we can make that decision. Until then, hold your horses.

good news with TP is he is fiercely loyal to Hue (as he should be really) for making him the player he is now. That gives us a big step-up to get it done. However, there's a lot of season yet for him to earn that paycheck.

Lot of football left to be played.

How did Hue make him the player he is today? He didn't even try receiver till Hue cut him for the second time.

Jackson had him in Cincinnati and advised him to become a wide receiver and commit himself.

Then Jackson came here and took a guy that got cut and caught one pass last year and made him a starter.

I'd say he has had a huge impact on his success. Terrelle agrees.

Right...it was not Hue that cut him last year. It was Farmer and Pettine.

The bigger question is.. If we should go 0-16.. Will Hue still be here.. I highly doubt it..

Other than a sex scandal I cannot imagine a scenario in which Hue isnt coach next year.

He's not going anywhere. He absolutely loves Hue Jackson, and I don't care if we somehow go 0-16...Hue Jackson is coming back. I don't even think we're going to have the worst record in the league, and that somewhat pisses me off, LOL. Pryor already stated that he's going wherever Hue is, and that will be right here.

While I don't think we'll have the FIRST pick, it's obvious that we will have a very high one. Probably number 2 or 3. That means we'll get just about any QB we want, and THAT's where it gets pretty tricky. Cody Kessler has played FAR better than I expected, and it's certainly possible that he continues to grow and gets even more comfortable. But I don't see that happening. In fact, starting this week against the damn Patriots, I expect Kessler to start having some real problems. Bill will have some crazy shit on defense that Kessler hasn't seen before, and we'll get lit up like you've never seen. Cody will be 24-46 for 213 yards, no TD's, and 2 INT's. Sheard will have two sacks, and Mingo will have a sack as well. Pats will shut down our rushing attack, we'll get down a bunch of points early, and we'll get destroyed on 3rd and long. Yes, I hate being this negative, but it's honestly what I see happening. We're playing Tom freaking Brady on his first game of the season. That's....not good btw.

We have a lot of problems, obviously, but I don't see Pryor as one of them. He'll be here for a long time in my eyes.

Money > loyalty

If he keeps it up we definitely need to pay the man though.

Kessler does not surprise Me all that much.. My only concern with him is velocity on some of his throws. But , I expect that to improve as he gets a little older. I'm not saying he's QBOTF. But so far the eyeball test say's.. "He looks the part" . The biggest need I feel is YAC. Pryor so far has been marvelous.. Let's see what the other kids can become.

Ghoolie has already shown Hue the door- but even if we only win a game or two, I don't think so.

Don't think theres anything I can do , or add.... I hope he makes it , honestly. I kind of like some of the things he brings. I don't want to start over again. I think the team has played hard despite they're lousey record.. It is what it is.

A few talented UFA WRs this offseason, Michael Floyd comes to mind, maybe even Kenny Britt on the cheap.

That's what our last FO did and we lost all of our guys.

You have to get the guys you want signed BEFORE their contract year is up. Otherwise they see $$$ signs (free agency).
