And, btw, if you seriously believe that TP has done all this "on his own" and has "done it with stats" (whatever the hell that means), then you truly are the ignorant one. Stick to Jayhawk basketball, S&L- at least you sound less ignorant when discussing them.
note: if you don't think off the field issues influence a QB's legacy, I've got two words for you: Art Schlichter
Lol wait, so let me get this straight..you actually do think that if someone doesn't know one small detail about the game of football, they are thus unknowledgeable about the sport? You've got to be kidding me?
You're also kidding yourself about his legacy. The guy will be remembered for being the only QB to collect 4 wins against Michigan..multiple BCS wins..multiple BCS MVPs..
possible National Championship..most decorated OSU QB in their history in terms of stats and accomplishments. Sure, this tattoo thing isn't good; but it's not like he's committing felonies left and right. He sold some of his shit. If you really care that much about it, all i can really say is lighten up francis.
What I mean by "on his own" is that he accounts for most of the offense. He is either passing the ball or running the ball..with a good amount of handoffs thrown in there...but the defense must also respect his running ability on the play action, so a lot of Boom's (or whoever the RB is) carries are wide open runs because the defense opens up. I don't know the stats, but I would guess TP accounts for more than 60% of the offense. That's doing it "on his own." Yes, he has good players around him, but the offense revolves around Pryor.
As for "done it with stats" I mean he is becoming one of the better QBs in OSU history because he has done it with stats..whereas, previous successful OSU QBs have done it simply by not messing up and allowing the other playmakers on offense to make the plays. Huge difference between Pryor getting it done and Krenzel getting it done, wouldn't you agree?
And LJ already mentioned it, but you're seriously going to compare this situation to Art Schlichter's?
