QB/WR Terrelle Pryor ('10 Rose, '11 Sugar MVP)

These people just don't get it. From a person I know who lives up there says since these have been pulled people are making their own and the one he saw was a shirt with TP with his head in his hands and on the back it says 'All because you wanted your name on the back of your jersey'. Let it go Penn State, my gosh its been 2 years!!!

Wow... that's the thing about PSU - unlike scUM where it's hate all around, I love Joe Pa (he's like your cool grandpa that sneaks you beer at family reunions). I respect their program. But their fans...

My favorite comment on EDSBS regarding the t-shirt:

In my version of the shirt, Tim Tebow looks down on the scene from heaven and smiles at the good display of sportsmanship.

Also, to make sure there’s no funny business.

Also:

LABEL TERRELLE PRYOR “ECONOMY” AND THE LION “OBAMA.” I AM A NATIONALLY SYNDICATED POLITICAL CARTOONIST.

Matt Hayes sportwriter for "Sporting New Today" wrote an interesting column this morning regarding Terrell Pryor and something on the level of how he is being mis-handled by the coaching staff. I do not know how to bring this up for the "Buckeye Planet" to read. Maybe some of you guru's or moderators can do that. It's pretty interesting stuff.

Man, that is catchy. They couldn't shorten that up just a bit? Probably in 72 font and you basically have to hump them to read it. Its like those people with paragraphs on their bumper stickers. It's a bumper sticker, not a nutrition label for my box of raisins, I need to see it from 7 feet away.

Not sure if this is what you read, probably not, but here's a link to tSN

2. The Pryor factor
tSN said:
I don't know about you, but something about Terrelle Pryor just doesn't feel right. It's starting to feel like, I don't know, Mo Clarett.
Look, I'm the first to say Pryor has been poorly coached and doesn't deserve nearly as much criticism as the whackos in Columbus are heaping on him. But last week, after Ohio State's beatdown of New Mexico State, we saw something that maybe opened a window into the Buckeyes' locker room.
Once Pryor was pulled from the rout, he went to the locker room, changed into civvies and watched the game from the sidelines. When asked after the game about Pryor in his street clothes and if he were hurt, OSU coach Jim Tressel said no. From this, we can deduce: Pryor still doesn't realize the enormity of his job. The quarterback is your leader, the player others look up to on and off the field. I don't care if he did get dinged at the end of the first half (apparently, he tweaked his hamstring). Come back out on the field fully dressed and support your teammates.
These are the little things that build team chemistry, that steel a team in times of adversity ? like, say, before a game at Penn State with the Big Ten title still within reach. Pryor has crazy talent, but the coddling by the staff (see: Clarett) ? instead of coaching him harder, pushing him harder, forcing him to see his leadership responsibilities ? will eventually be his undoing.

I love it. Keep poking him with a stick - I encourage it.

What??? That's the dumbest sh*t I've ever heard. No one who plays football would give two craps about that.

I'm talking about about that Matt Hayes quote.

And oh yeah, he's getting coddled. Matt Hayes doesn't know shit.

Matt Hayes is probably still being sodomized by Charlie Weis.

He writes for The Sporting News, which is essentially irrelevant on the college football landscape with the exception of some hard core Ntre Ame fans.

This clown probably doesn't realize that Pryor was on the sidelines with his game pants still on and not in civvies.....:(

I take more offense to Tressel calling it a game with only a 3(?) score lead. Thats not on Terrelle. But if New Mexico State takes that kickoff the distance, does Terrelle put his pads back on? After making an awful decesion to play Bauserman against Navy, his awful decesion not to make it a 3 score lead against Navy, his awful game management against USC at the end of the first half, his awful game management at the end of the first half against Purdue, and arguably against Wisconsin for the squib kick....I could have sworn New Mexico State was going to score quickly once I saw Pryor in street clothes minus the pants.

Come on man, you are reaching here. Name one time where New Mexico State looked like a threat. They had the worst offense in division 1 (or whatever they call it). If he continued to play Pryor and he got hurt (ala Beanie Wells) in meaningless playing time....what would everyone say about that?

I don't buy the whole "giving Pryor the special treatment" crap. We only see a little piece of what is going on with the team. I would think that Tressel, in his many years of being a head coach, would identify the possible problems and avoid any possible issues. You just cannot please some people.

As I have said before, I am marveled by the number of head coaches that frequent this website.

As for Glen Mason, there is a reason why Tressel is the head coach at Ohio State and Mason is calling games for the Big Ten Network. Perhaps it's a good thing that Mason does not agree with Tressel. :wink:

There's a grand canyon sized difference between letting BCS-slaying Navy stick around and abysmal NMSU. But don't let that get in the way of a good rant :roll1:

Guess that didn't prove very trustworthy.

If he doesn't start scanning recievers better and develope as a better pocket passer, I'd like to see them move him over to tight end or wide reciever.

The kid's got great hands and we all know he's fast enough and has the hieght for the position.

I think it would be a good move for everyone.

Cause let's face it, the way he's playin' right now he is not gonna make a pro QB.

Well, it's a tragedy then that he doesn't have two more full seasons, plus a ton of offseason work before he goes pro. Oh wait...
