He's going to be drafted in the first 2 rounds based on his physical ability alone...I don't think he's going to be a good pro QB, but on potential alone he'll be a high draft pick which = $$$

I would disagree. And with the new CBA, I personally would be shhocked if he ever sees $3 million in salary from the NFL.

I think people want to call him great and perfect, but then they get disappointed when he is only really good and human.

This. Being the big time recruit he was, people had unrealistic expectations from the get go. Anything less than a national title, Heisman, etc, etc...many are going to automatically label him a failure. It sucks, but its the life of a big time recruit in this day and age of the media blitz.
Is Pryor great? No. Is he bad? No. I think he boarders on very good myself. And, depending on how he does when he returns next year, I think he will get drafted by the 3rd round. He is too much of a freak athlete to go much longer than that. What happens after that, is anybodies guess.

Wait what are you not in agreement with? That he will be a 1st or 2nd round pick, or that he will make millions even if he is a 1st or 2nd round pick?

Impossible, because that is the definition of "thug", so therefore, he cannot be a thug.

Both. No way he's a first rounder. People are questioning whether Mallett drops to the 2nd round, and you want me to believe he goes in the first round? No way.

And I'm taking into consideration the new CBA. Rookies are going to have a pay scale and you won't see the ridiculous rookie contracts anymore.

With that said, Shonn Green was the 1st pick of the 3rd round in 2009 (first draft I found the results to on google) and his contract was 4 years $2.65 million with a $905k signing bonus.

Is Pryor capable of making $3 million? Yea, probably. But I personally doubt that he reaches that number.

This. I think we are a bit too harsh on Pryor

The kid won a Rose Bowl MVP as a sophmore, a Sugar Bowl MVP as a junior. He has a winning record in BCS games, hes undefeated vs Michigan. I'm not even going to get into his stats. If he doesnt play another game at OSU I would say the kid had a VERY good career

I also think he ends up going in the 1st round

NFL scouts think differently than we do, they look at potential and love the physical specimens in the NFL draft. JaMarcus Russell was the #1 overall pick and that was based off potential and physical ability alone. I know if the Browns picked him in the first 2 rounds, I'd be pissed, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. And even if he is taken in round 3 or 4, he could still stay in the NFL long enough to make a few million, and that was my original point.

What's 'knowing thy rival' have to do with anything? You aren't 'knowing thy rival', all you're doing here is calling him out here with your uneducated, biased opinions. You're a Michigan fan trying to tell a bunch of OSU fans that one of their own players isn't all the great, even though he's got the wins, video, and stats to back it up. Point is, stick to Michigan football, which you might actually be knowledgeable about.

I mean that even though we have had some nice victories during his tenure, it might not ultimately be worth it. His actions (and the other guys) might eventually harm the program for years to come. Tress messed up, but he wouldnt have had the chance to mess up if these guys werent hawking merchandise for tattoos. So between him, the other tattoed four, and Tress the program may be headed to a black hole. I think we're about to get hammered and I can't help but ascribe some of the blame to TP.

This thread is really dumb.

But.

My heart would explode with joy if everyone's savior was arrested for trafficking. I'd truly die of laughter. You would hear collective sobbing from Columbus.

With what, that he'll get drafted in the first 2 rounds??

Matt Jones was a freaking first round pick, and Pryor is more athletic than he is, even if you want to say he won't get drafted as a QB. Sorry, but precedence has pretty much showed that Pryor will be a 1st or 2nd round pick barring some extenuating circumstances I can't foresee right now.

Probably, it would be tears of joy the Braxton era is starting early or Taylor/Kenny will get their shot.
