YoloinOhio Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 TP has more threads on OBD currently than he does NFL starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Not saying the Bills should have grabbed him... but the guy has some pretty intriguing talent. He had a stretch of games in Oakland last year, where I thought he actually looked like a credible NFL QB, with freakish mobility. Under the right circumstances, on a team that has the luxury (Seattle) I think this was a good move for the Seahawks. They get first dibs on a great athlete for a mere draft pick that had almost zero chance of making their squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 It won't be the last pick. There are comp picks after it. And I'd echo what PTR said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 This kid had a lot of cards stacked against him since tOSU. I'd like to see him succeed. If that was in a Bills uniform, I'd be happy. But, I don't see much of a chance for anything to happen with this young man. I wish him the best. Not saying the Bills should have grabbed him... but the guy has some pretty intriguing talent.

If Seattle suffers by Russell coming back to Earth and/or something, Pryor likely would not get much of a chance to remain the franchise QB. Carrol would draft someone as quick as he could.

YoloinOhio Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 TP is a better overall athlete than Thad. But he is not a better QB. He has a very hard time reading defenses. He is always running because he panics through reads and exposes himself to injury. Frankly, he was very good player in college but was never a great passer and that has not changed. He isn't a hard worker nor is he team-oriented or a leader. If he is willing to change positions, it makes sense. For the Seahawks, maybe they didn't need the pick and think they can work some magic with him. I cannot see him being a positive addition to the Bills.

boyst Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Maybe, but he is responsible for those cards. He got more then his share. What the NCAA did to him was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Why does Seattle do this deal when TP is on the last year of his contract, and TP wants to be a starter? Doesn't make much sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronc24 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I look forward to the day we have a legitimate QB and threads like this cease to exist. Please, EJ, get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 This guy couldn't cut it in Oakland. By all means we should grab him! Funny how the story changes whenever it suits an argument. Sometimes, Oakland is an inept organization that we should never emulate. Sometimes, Oakland makes a great move that we should agree with. Sometimes, Oakland can't get their talent to succeed. Sometimes, Oakland is great for letting a guy go. The Carson Palmer saga was another feather in the cap for the "walking contradiction" crowd. "This guy sucks, I can't believe Oakland got him" "I knew he would suck in Oakland" "Good thing Oakland got rid of him, what a great move" and there Palmer is, with his 11-5 record over in Arizona. So let me ask you this. If Oakland gets rid of a guy, does it mean he sucks? How could they be a laughingstock franchise if they keep making good moves? This is the team that lost their star LT and failed to get another O-lineman, that had already gotten on a plane and flew over there, can we trust anything they do? Bueller? Bueller? It won't be the last pick. There are comp picks after it. And I'd echo what PTR said. Quick, name the last 10 seventh rounders to last more than 1 year in the NFL! Ever!

Kicking the tires on Terell Pryor is worth more than a 7th rounder who probably won't make the team. He's beaten as many playoff teams as EJ, and more than Thad/Tuel.

DDD Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Pryor didn't do much in college and nothing in the pros to this point. A 7th round pick is essentially nothing. Remember, Carroll brought in JP Losman too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Even Seattle is looking for a QB competition. Marrone needs to get with the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
