Pryor goes from an after though to possibly being the starter, unreal. Oakland is going to be bad so might as well see what he can do. He has improved a ton and can make plays but he is sure to make a bunch of mistakes as well.

Yep. Honestly have no idea why they didn't let him play more last year. See what you got, if he sucks then you know he sucks and you'll get a better draft pick and know you need a QB. If he plays well then you know you can build around him. He had possibly the worst QB coach and worst offensive coordinator in college and was still pretty dang good so with NFL coaching I think he can make it. The NFL is turning into a scrambling make chicken salad out of chicken shit league anyway and TP is suited for that type of style.

Just remembered now that Jay Paterno was Penn State's QB coach while Pryor was there, so 2nd worst QB coach in the country.

Raiders traded for Matt Flynn and drafted Tyler Wilson and now it looks like Pryor will be the starter, impressive.

I am not good with words, which is why I'm an accountant and deal with numbers.

But Pick 6 was right. Change it to "While Pryor was at Ohio State". Jay Paterno was freaking terrible as was Nick Siciliano.

If he starts and plays well it will be impressive, beating those 2 out for the job isn't impressive on its own.

an't believe the NFL didn't find anything wrong with this block. Just terrible and no reason for him to go towards the knees at all.

They only care about hits to the head.

I think it's more they only care about hits to offensive players. They are now going start looking at hits to below the waist of WR/TE's to see about changing that rule as well like they did for hits to the head for "defenseless" players.

I agree if he plays well I'll be impressed, I was more so talking about how they pretty much wrote him off by making those moves in the offseason.

A block where you chop a leg in half.

Manti T'eo's girlfriend was clearly already blocking Williams before Looney came in with the shot to the knees.
