Pryor to the Rams!
Mtjhoyas":3kiy2sae said:I am firmly in the "2 QB" camp. If you actually get to the point where you are at your #3 QB, your season is long gone. I would much rather keep a potential contributor or promising young guy that you know you will lose if you cut, than a QB who is basically familiar with the system, but isn't any good.

If cutting both of them means keeping a guy like FB Small or an extra WR, then I'm all for it. Both of them haven't shown nearly enough to be a QB in the NFL, now if Pryor could play WR or TE...
Pryor never played for Urban Liar. His coach was Sweater Vest Tressel.Hawks46":2vwtrib9 said:This is weird, but I'm going to go with Pryor. I have nothing more than a hunch, no stats, facts or analysis to prove anything.
Pryor drives me crazy at times. I've never thought he looked good in Oakland unless he tore someone up with his feet. He's maddeninlgy inconsistent, one throw his footwork and release is nice, the next it's totally off. I'm not a QB guru but I guess this is what leads to his annoying inaccuracy.
Then I started thinking. He went to Ohio state. Who has Urban coached as a QB that's ever had success at the NFL level ? I can't think of one, and usually they bomb spectacularly. So I'll theorize he got poor coaching there.
Then we have the Raiders. Probably the worst team in the last decade to evaluate and coach QBs. So, I'm assuming through 2 regimes he's had poor coaching there.
You can see the progress at times. He rolls out and in Oakland, he runs right away. Here he's looking downfield. He doesn't look comfortable doing it, but he tries. It also throws off when he wants to run. I've never seen Pryor (granted I haven't watched him a lot) look so uncomfortable running. He slides now, and I don't remember seeing that in Oakland. He tries to go deeper into his progressions. It's a work in progress.
He does look to all parts of the field. TJack still falls into the habit of staring down the right side of the field (this game in particular is a good example). It's going to come down to whether or not Pryor is capable of learning and willing to do so. Hawkwow hit it on the head when he said that Pryor thinks he's good and thinks he should be starting somewhere. If he has that mindset, I'd let him go. If he's willing to learn and admit he hasn't had success at the NFL level and needs to reboot a bit, then I think he's an upgrade to TJack.

And hes playing against the soon be cuts.
Soon be RAIDER cuts too
the lowest of the low
I'm not sold on either Daniels or Pryor as a backup, so there's no doubt Jackson has that spot locked up. Pryor seems to be coming on leaps and bounds in one offseason with us however. I'd like to keep him as a developmental player - his physical attributes are unmatched in the league among QBs, and if we can somehow turn him into a competent backup he'd be worth that year of investment

I think Pryor gives us a better chance to win, especially if he keeps progressing. Pryor has shown growth week-to-week. Yes, last week's pick was incredibly lame, but you can see Pryor doing the work and getting the learning.
Daniels looks better than TJack too, but I don't really know how to interpret his game with the limited reps he's gotten, against the other team's 3rd stringers.
So Pryor over TJack, for sure.
