No kidding. They must need to set up the commercial for the "SEC Stories" featuring Peyton.

Purdy: Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor provides glimmer of hope

DENVER -- In a quarterback battle between Peyton Manning and Terrelle Pryor, there is no suspense. We all know who is going to win. It's just a matter of how much damage is done by night's end.
Monday, the damage on the scoreboard was about what you'd expect. Manning and his Denver Broncos blew out to a 30-7 lead and went on to finish off the Raiders 37-21.
In terms of the quarterback matchup, Pryor also took the expected back seat to Manning. But in a slight surprise, the back seat was not as far to the rear as, say, the back seat of a jumbo jet. It was more like the back seat of an airport shuttle bus.
Which at this stage of Pryor's young career, is saying something. He was making just his

fourth NFL start Monday. He isn't close to being in the neighborhood of the NFL's top tier quarterbacks. Yet week by week, snap by snap, the kid is showing that he's not completely in the next area code. His upside still has upside. He was easily the most optimistic Raider element in Monday's game.
"The big stage doesn't bother him," said Denarius Moore, who caught a 73-yard touchdown pass from Pryor that briefly pulled the Raiders to within 10 points of the Broncos in the first half. "It's like he has been a starting quarterback for five years now."
Alas, Pryor now might not even be the starting quarterback next week because his night ended with a wince-inducing concussion. It happened in the fourth quarter when he was carrying the ball on a called quarterback run inside the Broncos' 8-yard line.

Looking much better than I ever expected at this point, especially given his horrific supporting cast.

His fundamentals are far beyond what I ever thought he'd be... don't know why he couldn't make that progress here... his footwork, his downfield vision and progressions and even his throwing motion... someone deserves a ton of credit for his transformation

Not knocking any mentoring or coaching.. just making an observation.. that for whatever reason, Pryor did not seem to progress as a fundamental QB.. I always felt it was because of Pryor, per se.. and still think that... He had HS & CFL success so he saw no reason to change... which is why I was one of those that were convinced he'd only see the field in the NFL as a TE
Last night, I actually saw him move up in the pocket.. AND then make a throw from a balanced stance... off the correct foot

Ok, what about john defillippo's credentials? Because like siciliano, he's a Youngstown paisan with limited football experience.
On the flip side, Pryor has also worked with guys like Steve Clarkson, George Whitfield and the late Tom Martinez.
I think it comes down to the fact that TP had 10+ plus years of no tutoring in podunk Jeannette, PA under 'tutors' like Ray Reitz. 10 years of football, excelling with even with bad habits. Because he wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth like a Matt Barkley (who can't get active with the Eagles) or Garrett Gilbert (who couldn't hack it at a terrible Texas program), guys whose daddys could drop 10k a year with private coaches from the age of 12.
Pryor is is now on his sixth season away from Jeannette, so it's no surprise that only now he's developing good habits after siciliano, Martinez, Clarkson and defillippo all did their part to break him of old, bad habits.
I refuse to castigate Nick for being unable to change Pryor's ten years of muscle memory in years 1-3 of what's likely a ten-year process. That's not being fair to him, especially when there WERE marked improvements during Terrelle's tenure with the Buckeyes.

Agree with you on the receiver thing. Obviously, Nick is not Daniels or Herman but he got Pryor nudged in the right direction a little bit.
At some point, there's going to be another OSU GA or QC coach who gets promoted to a full time position in Columbus. It will be interesting to see how much slack they receive.
