I'd agree with others that when he steps into the pass, he's got plenty of arm, but the decisions still arent' great and going through progressions isn't something we see a lot yet.
Steve19;1581836; said:In my opinion, the secret of success for Pryor is not building the offense around him. We need to establish an effective rushing attack. Make the offense something more than one-dimensional and defenses won't be able to bet the farm on attacking Pryor every play. The O-line need to put up their hands and take on this challenge.
Hate to be Debbie Downer here, but Pryor's got some serious tunnel vision as well...
BrutusMaximus;1581871; said:He does. I keep bringing up another point. I hear everybody saying "well Pryor is young, he is still learning, he has only been there 2 years. Etc, Etc. How does someone like Zach Collaros step in for Cinci, probably playing 10 plays in the 2 years he has been there, and immediately looks seasoned. He is just one example. And he was NOT a heavily recruited QB out of HS. I have to say I am having doubts as to how incredible TP is going to become. And trust me, I hope to hell I am wrong, but I just dont see it at all right now.
You can point out his games against Minnesota and NMST. I will say right back, it was against Minnesota, who looked HORRIBLE defensively, and against a pretty awful NMST team. Also dont think he looked that great against either.
I don't know if it is because Coach Tressel didn't want Pryor to be aggressive against Minnesota/NMSU where he could get injured on a power scramble. They may be saving Pryor for November where they will let Pryor be Pryor and create something out of broken plays.
I would argue that it is too soon for such a gloomy outlook. Not that you did, but on BP, we know that fans bashing this young man will not help him progress. Like many professional athletes, I hope that Pryor is seeing a sports psychologist who can help him play his best when expectations are highest. His game needs to reach a "whole 'nother level" if he is to achieve his goals to play in the NFL. I really do think that his problems are in his head and that, once he makes progress there, the rest of it will come right quickly.
Daniels was diagnosed before Troy's 06 season.I think it all goes back to coach Daniels getting sick. He did wonders with Troy and had Boeckman looking great in his junior year. As soon as Daniels became ill and coach Sic took over, Boeckman took a nose dive and we haven't seen the progression from Pryor that we should be seeing. I'm not knocking coach Sic, but he is the only common denominator.
He could, or Terrelle could continue to struggle in his progression as a passer. Sic isn't working with a natural passer who needs to work on little things to become special. He's working with a strong athlete who is a very unnatural passer.buckeyboy;1581983; said:A good QB coach can work wonders with Terrelle.
