This is going to be on hell of a season.

He's saying things we've all discussed on these boards and amongst friends, but to hear TP himself lay out the plan for the season and talk about how many options he's going to have on offense is just the type of thing that makes me feel like this season could be very special. I've always felt that when Terrelle made that step from being an ATH to being a QB great things would happen. This season is that season.

Better isn't good enough
Driven Pryor works hard to perfect his craft, and knows he has to earn his passes

"I've got to get so much better." ? Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor

To the casual observer, Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor is showing arm strength, touch and poise.

During a 90-minute practice yesterday, he completed a long sideline pass to Taurian Washington, correctly read a blitz and flipped the ball quickly to Dane Sanzenbacher, then feathered a throw over the shoulder of Jake Stoneburner, who made a fingertip grab.

It seemed to validate the thinking that Pryor is on the verge of a breakout year - one in which, like in the Rose Bowl, he is given more opportunities to show off his passing skills.

But Pryor doesn't feel nearly as good about himself.

"I've got to get so much better," he said. "I have to remember to open my hips more."

I was listening to the "common man" yesterday (which was probably a mistake) and he made the following statement: As a QB, Terrelle Pryor is below average.

So, does the "common man" think that half of the QBs in the country(all those QBs that are at least average or better), or even just the Big Ten are better than TP? Does he believe that there are at least 5 QBs in the Big Ten that could have done for OSU what TP did in the Rose Bowl had they traded places with him?

I know I am just ranting, but seriously...

i think the common man is funny but he doesn't know much about college football imo.

he hated on pryor all year and kept saying how the big ten was terrible. i actually got on air and said the big ten is terrible compared to who? and he had some bs response that i didnt understand.

he really wanted pryor at wr and never ate his crow after pryor became successful

These jerks are never satisfied. Potentially TP could throw for 2500 rush for 500 with 20-25 tds total and these kind of jerks will still complain because he didn't break the records. I'll take Terrelle any day of the week over just about any other qb out there.

TP is CFN 2010 FIRST TEAM PRESEASON ALL-AMERICAN


CFN said:
Now the expectations go from hoping he'll take another step forward to hoping he can win a Heisman while leading Ohio State to the national title. Pryor hasn't been the be-all-end-all transcendent player that many thought he'd be right away after being everyone's No. 1, can't-miss recruit in the 2008 class, but he has been good enough to be the starting quarterback on two BCS bowl teams and the reason why the team won the 2010 Rose Bowl. At 6-6 and 233 pounds he's big, really big, and tough to bring down with just one defender. Extremely fast and elusive for a player of his size, he ran for 779 yards and seven touchdowns last year with 74 yards against Michigan and 72 against Oregon in the Rose Bowl despite playing on a banged up knee. While he might never be Peyton Manning as a passer, he's improving enough to be accurate and effective on midrange throws while making defenses worry a bit more on the deep balls. At his best when on the move, he's great making plays out of the pocket while being able to make something out of nothing when the play breaks down.

He appears to be working his way up in the logical progression of a great college quarterback's career having relied on his raw skills as a freshman and expanding his passing abilities last year, completing 57% of his throws for 2,094 yards and 18 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. He completed 61% of his passes for 1,311 yards with 12 touchdowns and four interceptions as a freshman, but he wasn't allowed to do anything that wasn't ultra-safe. After a year and a half of starting experience, he's more in command of the offense now, appears to be quicker with his decision making, and he's ready to open up the attack more to unleash his tremendous arm on more downfield throws. Work-level isn't an issue; he has had problems with a sore arm from overuse working on throw after throw. Toughness isn't an issue; he played hurt at the end of last year and underwent minor knee surgery to clean everything up. This is his team and his season for the taking, and for all the hype and all the promise, he appears ready to be the player everyone has been waiting for. The pressure has gone up ten-fold on his career and the success of the team rest squarely on his shoulders.

After watching the pratice on BTN, I must say Pryor look's so much better throwing the ball. He has transformed his montion, and look's much smoother. The kid has put it togather IMO.

Coach Sis really has put in work with him. I think it's funny given all the bitching people did when he was hired.

I agree that he appeared much smoother and just has the look of a more confident QB. The last key will be his decision making.

I just watched The Game from 2006 and was reminded of why Troy was such an amazing QB. He had the ability to read defenses so well and find the guy that was open. I remember Troy saying he had an internal 3 second clock telling him to get rid of the ball. That can only come with time. How fun would it be to see the Bucks lining up 4-5 wides and scoring TDs at will like during the Troy days? Not that I don't like watching some smashmouth. But having the ability to do both will be wonderful again. :) The guys from the Big ten Network seem to think that the key to our offense will be the running game. If the RBs get going, it will obviously open so much more up for TP in the passing game.

I'm starting to feel really good about the possibilities that TP and this offense have this year. I'm trying to be realistic, but I can't shake the feeling that the floodgates might just open up this year. :)
