You are right, I used the wrong sheet in my Excel file.

His rating is 172 as a starter. Stunning.

i love the kid, but i think the sample size might be just a bit too small to really talk about how great of a college QB he is. obviously he's an incredible athlete with tons of talent, but he's also a freshman who has made some fairly dumb mistakes. his running speaks for itself. but at this point i'm more inclined to chalk up a high QB rating to the fact that pryor has only thrown it 46 times all year and has not been given particularly complicated passing assignments.

with that said, what he HASN'T done is throw it into triple coverage, or been fooled by blitzes or freaky looks by the D. what impresses me almost as much as his running ability is pryor's ability to learn from his mistakes extremely quickly. within a game he had figured out the speed of the game and now seems to have a decent grasp of when he can break out a run or when he has to throw it away.

there are still some caveats. his ypa is still fairly low, but that's partly a result of our WRs not doing their job (dropping passes, not geting open) and partly a result of the entire playbook not being opened. he also hasn't been asked to play through the kind of adversity he'll face on saturday, which will go a loooonnngg way towards determining how good he really is at this point. i have no doubt that pryor can develop into an incredible QB, but i'm going to hold back on saying he's incredible right now until after the game on saturday

as a side note, i hope pryor develops into more of a pat white QB than a Troy Smith QB, at least in the sense that running remains a big part of his game. pryor is just too fast and too elusive to not run the option or the read option, especially with Beanie back there as another running threat. i know Tressel loves offensive balance, but seriously, if we can rush for 275ish yards a game, why wouldn't we?

So you're saying that speculation as to his NFL draft stock and how many Heismans he's going to win after starting two games versus Troy and Minnesota is premature?

Booo ...

You're obviously not a Buckeye Fan!

Oh yeah, well I had class with Chic Harley and I was the one during freshman year that convinced him to try out for the football team. He wasn't in favor of the plan since his classes were no where hear Ohio Field, but I lent him my riding donkey and he agreed to give the football thing a shot.

By the way, I find our analysis of TP's NFL draft stock laughable. HA. yep, that felt good. HA! I'm concerned if he's going to handle the pressure of Camp Randall, while the rest of this thread is dedicated to how many Heismans he'll win, whether we'll stay in 2011, and if he'll win a Super Bowl before Tebow does. HA!

But then again, this thread has been solid entertainment for well over a year now. :)
