Terrelle Pryor, Ohio State Keep Slouching Towards Mediocrity

I bet UM and PSU fans are glad that Pryor picked OSU!  The kid at Michigan (Forcier) is already much better than the over-hyped Pryor.  Pryor is clearly not a very good QB. 

Pryor is obviously a project, but with all the elite recruits that OSU has on the field, there is no way their offense should look that hapless.

I thought you professed to know college football?  And just who has
Forcier beaten that makes him a better qb? He has shown spurts,
but Michigan has played some really awful teams. You surely are not
impressed that they beat Delaware State are you?  Why on earth
would a team like Michigan even be scheduling the likes of Delaware
State? He lost to Michigan State, almost lost to Indiana. (should have
lost but the refs stepped in and helped him out in what has to be the
biggest blunder call of the season). It just makes no sense to say
that a kid that has had all of 3 good games, not great games, is
a much better qb than Pryor.

You’re certainly entitled to your opinion osubest.  I’ve watched both of them play enough to form the opinion that I have (no the Delaware State game doesn’t impress me).  Have you actually watched Forcier play?  He’s cool, confident, makes better throws, and seems to have a good feel for the game.  IMO Forcier is better and will have a superior college career to that of Pryor, even though Forcier is playing with far less talent this year than what OSU has. 

I am not a fan of OSU or Michigan.  However, OSUBEST is a complete idiot if he thinks Pryor is better than Forcier.  Pryor is a great athlete and the skills he does have aren’t utilized in Tressels pro style offense.  Forcier has been playing injured or Michigan would probably be undefeated.  Funny how Pryor chose OSU to have a better chance of going pro.  If his career continues on the path its on now he wont even be drafted.  Like I said I dont like OSU or Michigan, but sometimes people need a reality check.  Especially OSU fans. 

Pryor also needs to cut out the prima donna crap he was pulling on the sideline toward the end of that game yesterday. He was up in Tressel’s grill and was shaking his head at playcalling. This kid had better get his gigantic head out of his butt.

The worst loss of the Tressel era was against Florida in 2006.  What we’re seeing today is a direct result of that debacle.  The program has never truly recovered.  The only thing the team could cling to was that they don’t lose games like this.  Instead of biting that dog back, they’ve let it nibble away slowly over the last 4 years.

I agree, michigan would suck today if pryor committed to michigan.  Luckily we have Forcier.

I am a Buckeye fan and it has been painfully obvious tha TP doesnt have it.  Yeah, he can run fast, but he cant throw.  Put him at receiver.  Tressel is the problem.  He has historically been horrible at choosing QBs.  Remember the 2005 Texas game, he kept taking out Troy Smith for the inept Zwick.  Zwick fumbled the game away.  It took a DUI to get Bellasari off the field.  Boekman was benched for Pryor and Tressel wouldnt put him back in even when Pryor struggled (PSU 08).  Now Tressel acts like he has only one QB in the stable.  In the post game pressconf he said he had no intention of removing Pryor. 

That’s just blind loyalty.  You cant let your top ten team lose to a 1-5 team because you love your QB.  I dont see how the coach or offense can look the defense in the eye after that game. 

Lastly, he goes and gets a D2 QB coach for TP.  Not an NFL or D1, a D2 coach.  Good job on giving the kid the best help available.

Oh yeah, Cincy is the best team in Ohio and Forcier is the better QB.  Cleeeeearly.

osubest or worst

OSU schedules Toledo, New Mexico State, Youngstown State, OHIO, TROY..

Why doesn’t OSU play the best team in OHIO?? Cincy Bearcats!!

It will be much better next year now that you dropped Navy (1 play away from going into OT) and USC and added Marshall and Eastern Michigan

It was great watching the Suckeyes offense not get bailed out by their Def and Special Teams 3 TD’s last week against Wisc..OSU probably should’ve 3 loses…It was also great watching the OVERRATTED T.P. yell at his receivers for not getting open..Blaming everyone for his mistakes..  2 int and 2 fumbles…

MI count your blessings you have T.F. and not the worst Big Ten QB T.P.
T.P. has sure improved from last year.. NOT!!

I am an absolute Buckeye fan, but it has been completely painful watching this offense this year. nDhelf hit it on the head, without the D scoring against Wisconsin, it is 3 losses. USC got the drive at the end because the offense couldn’t stay on the field and the D wore down. TP could be a very good tight end (look at the plays in the Fiesta against Texas), but I doubt his ego will let him do that. It amazes me the poor qb play that has been present in the Tressel era (I’m not calling for Tressels head). The offensive philosophy/mindset has got to change. They have too many good athletes, but no ‘killer’ attitude. This team/defense deserves better.

What’s wrong with Pryor? 

Easy he should have gone to Michigan and become the 2nd coming of Vince Young.

The problem is OS has lost all family values and the football roster is a bunch of confused boys running around wild.  Five of them will be arrested within the next two weeks.

one week we’re top team…the next we’re mediocre….

amazing what 5 turnovers and 9 penalties will get you….

for what it’s worth

OSU will NEVER be mediocre….

OSU is a joke

Pryor?  LMAO…lol…

never be mediocre—-how about now?

I think it’s official. TP is a bust.
Last year, with all the talent they had and all the hype around him, the fact that they didn’t at least play for the national championship means he failed, and this year he is not improving, and may even be regressing. They could lose 2 more games this year – they won’t beat Iowa, probably won’t beat Penn State, they may not even beat Michigan. I’m lovin’ it.

I can’t decide whether to refer to him as "Terrible Pryor" or "Kordell Stewart Jr."  He stinks on ice.

The problem is not with Pryor’s talent. The problem lies with his talent not having been developed properly. Tressel was so enamored of Pryor and terrified that Pryor would go to UM Tressel appears to have recruited a QB who is ill-equipped to for him to coach and have play in OSU’s system. Pryor proablbly thought the suystem would be adapted to his skills – a poor choice. It is likely that under the tutelage of RR Pryor would be better prepared.The fit to the system is the inverse of RR having Ryan Mallett operating his spread. Mallett may have a great arm but RR understood it was as bad fit trying to cram a great pro-style QB into his system. RR sacrificed a year in order to get the proper pieces in place. Mallett at OSU would have been devastating. Thankfully he turned up at Arkansas.<!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment-->
