archie, eli or peyton?I don't think he has a chance of becoming a great passer like Brees or Manning. That doesn't mean he can't become an effective passer and a great QB.
I don't see the natural passing ability to reach that plateau. When you watch a kid like Ryan Mallett throw a football in high school or even as a spotty freshman, you're not sure if he'll develop into an elite quarterback, but you see flashes of an NFL franchise QB.MaxBuck;1582378; said:I understand you don't think he can; you've made that clear enough. But what basis do you have for saying so? Can you back up your opinion?

yup, just heaved it up, two games in a row.I looked like Collaros just heaved all of his touchdown passes. I don't know if it was just me but I felt like that kid lucked out on the replays I saw. Maybe someone has some better film of him but he heaves it up and his WR's are like a foot taller than the competition so they go up and get it. Not really that good of mechanics, just backyard football.

BrutusMaximus;1581919; said:But one thing that I think is a problem on BP, is that there is an incorrect definition of "bashing". If I said. "Pryor sucks, he will never get better, bench him". That is bashing. However, not being 100% positive seems to be considered bashing by several mods/admins/etc. I have NEVER bashed TP, JT, Brutus, Joe Germaine, Earl Bruce, or any other Buckeye.

if having your qb throw the ball not only long and high into the back of the endzone and where only his guy can catch it is wrong, then so many coaches are wrong. ive seen ohio state against some similarly poor teams this year and they werent effective. who knows, its a bowl game, who knows who/where they might play, that being said that throw is not "mere luck" and toss in both his starts are better than anything weve seen this year...Part of my argument was he ran around in the backfield on more than just that pass for guys to get open against Syracuse. Plus the size of the WR's over the DB's was blatantly obvious. Binns has to be realistically a foot taller than the guys guarding him. All of his TD passes from last week looked like the video I posted. The first Binns was so wide open I could have thrown the pass to him, then the fake FG he REALLY heaved it up and got lucky then he had the vid above. I'm not saying his percentage wasn't good, but I thought when they kept doing game breaks on ESPN that he'd have gotten 2-3 int's against a decent team. So maybe it is more that the Big East teams he played (Louis, Syra (0-3/3-5 each)) have less than bad pass defense and he has at least one tall WR. I did watch the Louis highlight and saw one good throw for a TD but the other was another running throw against his body that gets picked against 2 good safeties. Oh Well. I don't think it matters. If he is the QB in their bowl game I bet they get beat.

Do you see that from Terrelle? I don't. But that's not because I've given up on his potential, I just think that Terrelle's potential to be special is packaged a bit differently, and probably doesn't translate well to the next level. I see a player who has the ability to overcome his weaknesses and become a dynamic dual-threat quarterback, but I'm not convinced he can become a surgeon from the pocket.
I don't think he has enough time, either, to become a superior passer. He arrived at OSU about 15 months ago without much if any proper coaching at the position. He has 26 months left in an OSU uniform.

I really don't see an awkward delivery when I look at Pryor. And his balls generally look very good; it's just that so many of them are thrown to receivers who aren't open, or thrown to an ill-advised location.billmac91;1582457; said:... He's an amazing athlete playing QB, but nothing about it is natural. He may throw a few pretty balls, but the delivery and mechanics are just awkward...
MaxBuck;1582478; said:And his balls generally look very good.
When I think of awkward-looking, or "un-pretty" balls, I think of Craig Krenzel.
However, I do expect more from you regardless of your frustration. These posts are garbage cheapshots.

When I think of awkward-looking, or "un-pretty" balls, I think of Craig Krenzel. But he seems to have found a way to be pretty successful as a college QB.
