No, I meant Mario in Cleats. As in, Pryor's smooth strides, the way he gets around people, and the way that he escapes pressure remind me of the way Mario used to play hockey. I know it sounds weird, but that's what he reminds me of. Thus, he is essentially a Mario in Cleats.

Trying to figure out if Bruce Hooley on "Buckeye Blitz" is just an angry person, Buckeye hater (even though he went to OSU) or just doesn't like Terrelle Pryor. Seems like every praising comment regarding Pryor from Hooley on the show is followed by a downgrading statement. I already know he doesn't respect coach Tressel.

Tonight he said he wishes Terrelle Pryor show more humility.

If he didn't have the edge, swagger or confidence, he wouldn't be Terrelle Pryor.

Some were calling him "Jazz" cause he's so smooth. That works also.

The reason why I wouldn't be able to call TP Jazz with a straight face:

Loss of Pryor to OSU still hurts UM
Makes difference at QB for OSU
By MATT MARKEY
BLADE SPORTS WRITER
COLUMBUS - Is Terrelle Pryor a touchy subject, after he allowed himself to be intensely courted by both sides in the bitter Ohio State-Michigan rivalry, and the wooing carried on well past the stroke of midnight in the recruiting season? Are the Wolverines still a bit steamed that the freshman quarterback chose the Buckeyes, and has led them to seven wins in his eight games as a starter? "Go on to the next question," Michigan offensive lineman David Moosman said Monday when Pryor's name came up. "I don't want to talk about that right now. All I really want to focus on is guys we have for us on our sideline. He's on their sideline." Pryor is indeed on Ohio State's side of the ramparts in this battle, and in a dominant role - unusual for a freshman. "Terrelle's no ordinary talent, so he's an exception in a lot of ways," Buckeyes sophomore wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher said following last weekend's win over Illinois. "He was put in a real high-profile position, with a lot of pressure on him, and I think he's done a great job. He's gotten more comfortable and more confident as the weeks have gone by." In an unprecedented move during his tenure at Ohio State, Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel benched senior and team captain Todd Boeckman after three games and went with Pryor at quarterback. Eight games later - Ohio State has won seven of those - Pryor seems undeterred by the fast track and the glare of the lights. "I'm confident Terrelle can handle it," Tressel said. Besides his gifts of talent, intellect and athletic ability, Pryor has the internal combustion Tressel said is necessary to constantly refine those skills. That's why his coach expresses no trepidation about sending a freshman out to face Michigan in the final home game for 28 OSU seniors. "Terrelle has done a good job of accepting coaching. He loves being coached, and he wants to do well so badly," Tressel said. "I remember him saying clear back in August, he'll do anything to help this senior class have a great year. That's the way he is." Pryor, who rushed for a season-high 111 yards at Illinois, has 10 touchdown passes with just three interceptions this year, and has completed 90 of 139 passes. He has rushed for six touchdowns and 560 yards. "I'm just trying to do my part and help this offense, help my team," Pryor said. "I've got great guys all around me." Fullback Brandon Smith said he's watched Pryor quickly evolve into a leader who takes command in the huddle.

You do know that my opinion is not based on what a so called analyst has said? I'm stating what I've seen.. and I haven't been blown away with the arm yet.

He has had flashes.. a beautiful deep ball here, and long toss on the run there..

I haven't seen him zip a ball in there yet.. which is OK. I wouldn't say his arm is poor, but arm strength is one of those things where.. either you got it.. or you don't. I think you can develop somewhat - but I will never be a Nolan Ryan..

Lifting will help.. proper form will help.. experience will help big time.. but will he ever have a big time NFL arm making the 15 yard out throws?

Trying to have an objective conversation..

I think he could. I actaully think he has pretty good arm strength from the games I've seen.

Michigan's loss was Ohio State's gain in Terrelle Pryor recruitment

APMichigan coach Rich Rodriguez (left) missed out on Terrelle Pryor (right). Could it cost Rodriguez even more?


Ohio State won a victory over Michigan months before Saturday's upcoming game between the two programs.
When the Buckeyes signed top recruit quarterback Terrelle Pryor at quarterback, it was not only a mighty catch for OSU but at the same time, a major blow to Michigan, as reported in The Toledo Blade.
Anytime you can sign a player (especially when he's No. 1 in the nation) that your archrival also coveted, it makes the signing that much sweeter.
