Just like how all ND fans are completely cool with their program and coaching staff being directly responsible for a student film guy's death. I mean, since they seemed more concerned with talking about how Kelly and company shouldn't be held responsible than the huge elephant in the room known as Declan's corpse.

Generalizations are fun.

Like I couldn't even get paid. And I don't care what receipts he has, he was wearing designer clothes around campus. So either he wasn't using that money for him mom, or he was getting even more money. I realize this happens at every major university, but he made it so obvious by posting pics in his new glasses or sweater. I mean he openly made himself look like an idiot!

Doing God's work is all.

He sure was driving a nice car in college and had a cool cell phone, while his mom couldn't even pay her heating bill.

At OSU, I did. He wasn't worth the bullshit that he came with. Which is more a testament to how much bullshit he came with than a lack of talent.

He was probably the GOAT OSU QB, just because OSU doesn't really have a great history of QBs. And if you look at his accomplishments on the field, hard to find a past OSU QB who could compare.

But most OSU fans, even the ones who thought he was the best OSU QB of all time, knew he wouldn't translate well to the NFL.

Pryor was always the type of guy who made your cringe when he threw a long ball.

Dude could create with his legs, but if he threw more than 15 yards it was a jump ball.

Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

This.

I have always been critical of Pryor's inability to throw a consistent spiral. But the guy is a beastly athlete who dominated one of the best conferences in the country(our defense deserves credit as well).

Will he be an NFL success? Only if he's on the Patriots at the tail end of his short career.

Troy Smith
Rex Kern
Art Schlicter (pains me to say that, given his history)
Corny Green
Craig Krenzel

Hell, even Mike Tomszak will have many more career starts and games played int he NFL than Pryor will ever dream about.

Craig Krenzel was a smart QB (and a smart guy).

I'd trust him over Pryor in a 2-minute drill.

The objective is to win the game. Krenzel certainly had a better win / loss record than Pryor as the starting quarterback.

This is just one reason.

Krenzel was .889 and Pryor was .911 as a starting QB (he started the Fiesta bowl as a WR, making his overall percentage as a starter .886) Krenzel was 24-3 and Pryor was 31-3 (31-4)

NVM, the 31-4 is correct, making him 31-5 as a starter, and 31-4 as a starting QB, so a winning percentage of .886. All the stats blurbs are confusing (31-4 record as a starter, starting 1 game at WR)

Krenzel has a ring, therefore he is better than Pryor.

Such a stupid and lazy way to analyze things. Not to mention, they had essentially the exact same winning %
