Welcome to Oakland, Terrelle Pryor!

By Kurt Snibbe
Page 2

The Oakland Raiders rolled the dice Monday by selecting Terrelle Pryor, the talented but controversial former Ohio State quarterback, in the NFL supplemental draft.


But overlooked amidst speculation of how Pryor will fit in with the Raiders on the field is discussion of how he will acclimate to the East Bay.


Fortunately, Page 2's dubious network of sources secured a copy of a portfolio produced to welcome Pryor to Oakland by a local chamber of commerce. Take a look:

Someone has a warped sense of humor, then again left coast is just that - left out. I hope TP have grown some thick skin since the Sugar Bowl. Is ESPN at work here?

I feel the same way although for me personally, it has more to do with the double standards TP faced. Seriously, nothing the kid did was ever good enough for anyone, including Buckeye Nation. If the kid through for 200 yards in a game people would ask "Well why didn't he throw for 300?" The thing that really pisses me off is Pryor being made the scapegoat for this entire fiasco. Boom, Posey, and the others will probably be greeted with cheers while Pryor will probably be met with boos whenever he decides to step foot in Ohio State despite not being any more guilty than the other four. Pryor is in no way innocent but the way he was, and continues to be treated by Buckeye Nation, is deplorable and has lowered my opinion of our fanbase by quite a few notches.

You really think he is not more guilty than the other TAT5? If that were the case, Pryor would still be playing for the buckeyes. Pryor left because he couldn't answer all the questions NCAA could pose to him. I've only been following this sporadically, but there were things like the expensive car he was driving after the allegations that were made, and obviously questions about accepting cash that came out. Now I am not saying the buckeye nation was right to treat him the way they have, but I think Pryor was probably guilty of more things and left because he couldn't answer for all his actions. In no way were the rest of the TAT5 as guilty as Pryor.

As someone else said, let things cool down and then we'll see how the situation changes, how the buckeye nation are willing to treat him in the future.

He's a Buckeye even with the transgressions, I was on the fence with him until I started hearing all the crap that ESPN was saying about him. Maybe he screwed up, but when the fans in Oakland see what he can do with the football, they will change their tune. Coach Tressel supports TP, so why shouldn't we? How TP is treated is largely related to the degree of forgiveness the Buckeye Nation can muster. We should support him and help the kid where others have fallen off. Give ESPN and the likes both barrels of Buckeye Nation support - good luck TP, show them your mettle. :osu:

People like you are why I have sympathy for TP.

Similar to saying every white WR "is a lot like Ed McCaffrey." I always loved that one. :biggrin:

What's wrong with being a smart, hard-working gym rat from a good family? Maybe even a coach's son!
