Both will be entering their 3rd year. Please enter honest opinions as to which QB you would want on otherwise evenly matched teams.

Based on potential? Pryor. Based on what I've actually seen from both......I gotta go with Collaros.

I'll just say this, OSU has so much more depth it's laughable. That's not a knock against Cinci, but the two are nowhere even close to being evenly matched top to bottom.

This.

Imagine if Collaros was throwing the ball to Pryor, could be a pretty deadly combination.

Zach Collaros, and I don't even think its close.

Now excuse me while I go vomit for saying something good about a UC player.

I would take Pryor, but I'll take Cinci's offensive system to go with it.

I agree with this. However, I would like to see how Collaros does against OSU's schedule and Pryor against Cincy's schedule.

I don't think its fair to compare any athlete operating under the Jim Tressel philosophy of offense to one that is being used correctly.

So I retract my statement about Collaros earlier, its not fair to Pryor.

Collaros just seems to have that "it" factor that Pryor lacks. I'd take Zack everyday of the week.

You can't take Pryor and throw him into Cincinnati's offense, that would be a disaster. You can't ask Pryor to throw the ball 40 plus times a game.

To answer the question, I'd take Collaros.

Brian Kelly always gives his QB's a chance to run the ball if they see it is there. Collaros has had huge success doing just that this year.

Colleros. The Buckeyes offense became more consistent later in the year when the coaching staff decided to stop making Pryor the focal point of the offense and to lean on the run with Herron and Saine complementing Pryor's fantastic running ability. As a QB Pryor hasn't progressed very much at all, certainly not as much as anyone was expecting or wanting him to.

Explain how Pryor isn't team before self, if that's what you believe.

^^^^ Pryor puts way to much on his shoulders.... trying to do way to much.... Zack seems to have faith in the players around him...

Louisville
Syracuse
Connecticut
West Virginia

Those are the 4 teams Collaros actually played against...I'll wait til he actually plays a defense to compare the two QBs.

Collaros will be entering his 4th season, and Pryor his 3rd.

Pryor got to play a typical team on Cincinnati's schedule. It was New Mexico and he only had to play in the first half. Lets see how Collaros does against USC, Penn St. or Iowa.
Kelley's system lets Pike and Collaros succeed. That and a joke of a schedule.

I would proclaim USC's defense as world beaters. They gave up 55 to Stanford, 47 to Oregon and even Oregon State put up 36 on them (Oregon State only put up 18 on UC by the way).

Other than Iowa and PSU, OSU did not play any better defenses than what UC faced this year. New Mexico is is one of the 10 worst teams in CFB. OSU also played Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Toledo, Navy, Purdue Indiana-- all bad defenses and worse than Oregon State, Rutgers, USF, WVU and Pitt.

First off, it's not hands down. It depends on system and opinion.

Secondly, why does everyone think that Cincinnati's schedule is such a joke? Is it only because they play in the Big East?
