Low key...I'll leave that alone as he has been everything but low key, he was the main part of the Tatgate [Mark May]storm and its aftermath.

What I was talking about is how every interview I read, his answers just rub me wrong. For example, when he's confronted about the QB position and stuff, he really just acts like a turd about it. But that's just my IMO.

I think he handled those questions pretty well this summer. It's hard to field questions from reporters about where you're going to play at the next level because you have no shot at being a QB, all the while you still believe in yourself. I guess I just don't see how you could have expected someone to handle it differently. He essentially handled it the same way Tim Tebow has, minus any Jesus references.

Terrelle Pryor on his mindset, his readiness and more

Posted by Tim Kawakami on October 16th, 2011

Terrelle Pryor watched the Raiders? victory from the sidelines for the first (and possibly only) time today?he was suspended for the first five games and today he had a roster exemption.

He also watched Jason Campbell go down with a broken clavicle, so right now, Pryor is the Raiders? No. 2 QB, pending roster moves this week.

That?s a fairly quick transition and even someone as optimistic as Hue Jackson equivocated a bit when asked if Pryor could immediately step into the No. 2 slot behind Kyle Boller.

Here?s what Pryor had to say in the locker room (summary: He said he could probably get into a game quickly, but only if the gameplan was cut down severely)?

?-TERRELLE PRYOR, gaggle transcript/

-Q: How was it watching that game, did you get antsy?

-PRYOR: I?m not used to that, obviously, but hey, I?m going to get better by the week and we?ll see.

-Q: Do you think maybe now after Campbell?s injury) you?re the backup QB?

-PRYOR: I don?t expect anything. I?m going in tomorrow to go to work. That?s it.

-Q: Would you be ready for that role?as a backup?

-PRYOR: With a minimum amount of plays. I mean, that?s a big package. I only had two days? worth of practice. That?d be an awful lot. But if it was cut down, of course.

-Q: But you?ve had classroom work?

-PRYOR: Yeah. But classroom and being on the field is two completely different things. So some of this stuff is a little longer, the plays and stuff like that. I?m just trying to get the grip on calling the plays fully.

Of course, if it was cut down to a minimum, yeah.

-Q: You expect to get some practice reps right away?

-PRYOR: I don?t know. I?m just waking up tomorrow to watch some film and start a new week.

-Q: Did they say you?d be on the roster next week?

-PRYOR: Next week, I?m going to be on the roster.

-Q The active roster?

-PRYOR: Yeah. We?ll see. We?ll see what goes on next week.

-Q: When Jason goes down, what goes through your mind?

-PRYOR: I don?t want anyone to go down. I?m just here to work hard and make a lot of people proud in any way I can. Tomorrow I?m coming into work and do the same things I?ve been doing?getting better.

-Q: How?s your confidence level?

-PRYOR: My confidence is never a problem. Serious. It?s never a problem. I?m a very confident guy. I carry

That is a pretty bold statement. After seeing what Tebow and Newton have done in the NFL at the QB position, I think Pryor has a good shot at turning into an NFL QB.

TP has just as good a shot as Cam or Tim. Their success (Cam's really...Tim we'll find out) will help in the front office decision making to let him develop.

Sounds to me like he's answering every question the way you want a player to answer them. He's confident in his ability but he's unassuming. Sounds like he's definitely a team player in Oakland. Anybody hearing anything else out of him has to be digging for something.

Can't blame Carson for being a douche when you have to deal with Mikey Boy.

Eh, I know. I shouldn't blame his suck on him, I should blame his suck on the regime. Mikey, Marvin, and the Brat. Ugh, what a circus full of clowns. How did I root for them with Bratkowski calling the offense. :lol:
