Terrell pryor runs a 4.38 for scouts

i think this guy will develop nicely in the nfl.
tressel's horrible offense held-back a LOT of talent at osu.
Agreed, Tressel's offensive play calling was ultra conservative and predictable at times. That's why when they got behind early in big games they struggled to come back. And that's coming from an Ohio State fan.
Nobody told dude to go to "The University of Ohio State", he made the best financial decision at the time & not the best for his development as a passer.
Tressel was punked into playing him for fear that he might transfer because he is unhappy about his playing time. He never developed as a passer because he didn't want to. The AD and God knows who else made Tressel play a guy who clearly wasn't ready and thought he was still in the high school game where he was more physically and athletically talented than 95% of the field. The difference is, that is narrowed to 10-25% of the field in college unless you are a big name school playing a 1AA school, then it is substantially bigger.
I don't think he is tough enough to play receiver OR tight end. Mark my words, he is going to be the Black Matt Jones, minus the drugs...maybe.
He's got to want it. He has been given everything in his career dating back to when he was 15-16. He didn't have to work for the starting gig in Ohio State or anything. Think about it, if you can get A's and B's without ever having to study, work out, or pick up a book or film study then why do all of that hard work. Shannon Sharpe mentioned 3 D's in his Hall of Fame induction speech, Determination. Dedication. Discipline. Judging from what I have seen so far in Pryor's career he has neither.
Any team selecting him is wasting a pick. He thinks he is entitled. He thinks he has a choice. First off, he is going to resist playing anything other than QB. Not only is he going to resist, but he is going to refuse to even learn it, even if he does eventually mope off and say, "Okay, I'll go to the WR meetings." Heck, Joe Theisman started off in he NFL as a punt returner. He had to work overtime to force the coaches to put him in at QB. If he wants to be a full time NFL QB, he has to put in over time. Stay late at the team facility with the offensive coordinator, QB coach, hell, even a ball boy if he can't convince those guys to work with him. But he doesn't have the 3 D's. He may not even have one or two D's, and without those his NFL dream is a dream deferred drying up like a raisin in the sun.

Exactly. Why the fuck should even have to consider playing at wideout if Tebow's ass is a QB.
Man please!
Man please!
Gotta disagree with those who say Tressel's offense held Pryor back. If you watched his development during his time at OSU you could absolutely see how he evolved as a passer. Watch some of his games as a freshman and you could virtually see him going through his reads and trying to make up his mind. At the end of his OSU career he was a much smarter and smoother decision maker and his passing had definitely improved.
Think about it, it wasn't as though OSU was blessed with upperclassmen at the skill positions when Pryor came in so the offense had to be somewhat conservative (and admittedly that's Tressel's style) And, don't forget that Beanie Wells was still there in his freshman year as well and when he wasn't injured he was a beast. I say all this to say that:
1) No coach just hands the reins to a freshman QB and says "Have at it."
2) Pryor definitely developed his passing skills at OSU. Why? Because they let him play QB, rather than trying to turn him into a running QB.
3) An NFL team has to give him a contract and see what he can do. If he developed that much at OSU he can definitely blossom under the right tutelage. This dude is a worker and I don't see him as one of those cats who thinks that the League owes them a living just because they have the physical tools.
Go BUCKS. Fuck Michigan!

I never thought I would see a bust worst than Ryan Leaf.
Jarmacus was a fucking waste.
He is the top bust of all time at this point
You cant compare any kid that is willing to even HALFWAY listen to coaches and work hard to that dude
true, but thats what "they" might see, or are thinking it could possibly turn out like.
