Terrelle is not as explosive as Vick, or as strong as Young, despite being strong in both areas. I'm not sure he'll ever be quite on their level athletically. Yet from what he's shown, he has the potential to be an even better quarterback, with plenty of athleticism in his own right.

Not sure what you mean by that. It's good to temper our optimism at this early stage but to say that Terrelle is not as strong as Young is like saying Beanie is not as strong as Clarett.

Hows the kool-aid taste? Holy crap.

This thread has gotten very delusional.

Both are a load to bring down, but Vince ran through defenders a bit stronger than Terrelle. Defenders glanced off his hips with regularity.

I like that example, because it doesn't degrade Beanie at all... also keeping in mind what age we saw Clarett play when making that comaprison.

Good point but also keep in mind what age we are seeing Terrelle vs. Vince. You are probably remembering the Jr. version of Vince but not the true freshman Vince.

I can agree with Pryor not being quite as fast as Vick, but I'm so sure that he's not as strong physically as Young was. If Young was indeed stronger than Pryor, the difference is essentially negligible...and just think what two more years in our S&C program is going to do for Pryor.

but he's smarter than either and will be a better QB than both.

haha thanks for backing me up here. I guess I'm not the only one drinking the kool aid.

I wouldn't say he isn't as strong of a runner as Young but I don't think TP finishes some of his runs like Young did. He occasionally slows down to take a hit or steps out where as Young probably wouldn't be. This isn't a knock on TP he is a true freshman and you don't want your starting QB taking big hits either. He will learn when to finish runs and when to protect himself with experience.

Seriously?

[?] How. Does. The. Kool. Aid. Taste. [/?]

TP isn't there yet. Young would have tacklers drapped all over him and still throwing the ball with zip & accuracy.

TP will get there. He is a true freshman, and I agree he's way a head of a VY, TS, or MV for where he is.. but he isn't there yet. Give the kid time, let TP grow into TP.. enjoy the ride.

Definitely possible, he is only a few months into it. That youtube clip was from 03, so Terrelle has a year to reach that level or else!

While I don't think TP is far off VY's strength level, when I think of VY, I think of him standing there, and A.J. giving all he had to bring him down. A.J. was an animal, and he had all he could handle. I don't think Terrelle is quite there yet.
