hey, hey, hey. If you didn't catch the irony of all my statements, just know that there is a reason for my post that's all fun and games. Pointing out Pryors stats, not fun and games. It hurts a bit, or a lot. But know the Last Son of Tressel will rise again! T2: the Terminator will rise again!

It's my roommate's fault. He's a Raiders fan and loves Pryor (after riding Palmer's jockstrap last season). So we hate each others QBs.
M Dogg™:
Nah, I am a Raider fan, a deep Raider fan, but I wasn't riding Palmer's jock. Don't get me wrong, I like Palmer and I thought he was the only true NFL caliber QB the Raiders have had since Gannon, but it just wasn't the right fit without Hue Jackson. So I knew last year, and this year would be throw away seasons. To me, Pryor WILL be good, but he is not there yet. There is just too much work to be done. But the Raiders best bet it to leave him in there all year, let him grow and develop him. The rewards are greater than the risk if Pryor does turn that corner. But to brag about him now, no, Pryor hasn't done much but show flashes. And flashes don't win Super Bowls. So with that, I look forward to his future, but I'm not going to bang my Pryor drum yet as a great QB. But I did beat his drum about him being the Raiders starter for the year, and honestly that was more to develop him that that move helping the Raiders win. So in 2 years, you MIGHT catch me banging the Pryor drum, but for now I am just enjoying watching the Last Son of Tressel grow.

Damn, I thought Pryors numbers were better than that. Gotta cut him a little slack though, this is a team that a lot of people were predicting to be the worst in the league.

It's because he went through a streak of games of not throwing an INT. Plus he doesn't start forcing the ball until the Raiders are behind. So in the couple of games, he didn't throw an INT until the Raiders were down after the half, because he starts trying to force plays. Not an uncommon thing for a young QB. So he just needs to stop forcing things. Remember, he almost led the Raiders past the Colts, but that last throw when he tried to force it cost the Raiders. He makes young QB mistakes when the Raiders get down. But on the flip side, when the Raiders are doing good on offense, he does protect the ball well, makes smart plays and does what is needed to win. In fact, I'd like to see him open up a a bit after the Raiders get up in a game and they are trying to hold a league, because he gets so conservative it allows other teams to catch up. But these are things that can be worked on so I'm not too worried. I just want to see improvement.
