I'd say they're similar, I don't know if he's necessarily ahead. Of course VY played in a much more wide-open offense that allowed him to rack up obscene numbers. I don't recall him being pulled from many games in 2005 like TP has...

VY 2005:
212-325, 65.2%, 3036 Yds, 26-10 td-int // 155-1020, 12 td

TP 2010 pace...
225-332, 67.8%, 2922 yds, 33-7 td-int // 124-767, 7 td

Damn...that's eerily similar...we'll see what TP does vs the meat of the schedule, but his numbers are on pace to be much bigger than I thought...if he keeps this pace up and tOSU is 12-0 in early December, it's gonna be hard to not give him the Heisman.

"On Tuesday, several players said quarterback Terrelle Pryor spoke up in a players-only meeting and stressed to them that being ranked No.1 didn't matter and they had to remain focused.
On Wednesday, Pryor said his short speech had nothing to do with the No.1 ranking.
"I wanted to speak to them about making the better choices and being in the film room a lot more and just taking a better step toward our goal," Pryor said."

Im so glad hesa Buckeye! Cant wait till Saturday night!:oh:

Who cares about the VY comparisons. TP is TP, and he plays for THE Ohio State University. Case closed.

These TP v. VY comparisons should end when TP gets his first Heisman+NC.

Before this season, I feel like the Vince Young comparisons were so prevalent because many believed that that was the mold that Pryor would eventually fall into. I think many even believed that Pryor's talent would cap at the level of Young's.

At this point in his career, Terrelle has the potential and opportunity to surpass Young THIS YEAR. If he returns with a ring, a heisman or both, Pryor has every opportunity to enter into the realm of being mentioned alongside the top QB's in CFB history.

Notice how many comparison's he's drawing from other players while he's still developing into his fullest potential. We all knew we had something special, and as much as we're enjoying what he's doing now I have a great feeling that this is just the very tip of the iceburg.

The great thing is that the Ohio State coaching staff can take the raw talent and strong ego that was Terrelle Pryor a couple years ago and help him develop into a player who not only elevates the entire program, but who also is a solid guy, not in trouble, and a sure first round draft pick, as a quarterback, in 2012.

To me, that's what's really cool. Yes he had good high school coaching, God-given talent, and is physically impressive, but he could have ended up in a black hole like Meatchicken and gone backwards like a lot of their players have.

So this all leads right back into recruiting. Terrelle's career helps recruit future star Buckeyes.

It gives me the warm fuzzies.....

Go Bucks! Focus, focus!!

Not to take anything away from TP, but he made the right decision in coming to Ohio State largely because of his drive to be a great quaterback, but there's one more factor at work here who has nurtured and developed this talented young man - Jim Tressel.

Not Les Miles, not Rich Rod, not Urban or Chip or Petey. The vest develops talent into first class citizens and first round draft picks!
