The Terrelle Pryor Thread

[monsterness]

Right because in the last ten years every other Qb we had was capable of throwing for 4000 yards at least it's something to build on. IS he peyton manning or brady, no! But we haven't had someone do this since gannon. Find a replacement and then you have an argument.

As for pryor i say keep him on!

He gets paid like a brady or peyton.but your right lets keep giving him boatloads of money so whe cant afford to bring in better players.what was I thinking, he is not the future so why keep him.you people are hilarious, where not in the position Denver was in.all they needed was a qb.we need alot.i apologize for using logic.smh

Well whats happened has happened! You can't cut him or you lose the money anyway! The disdain some are showing for palmer, who isn't our biggest issue, is ridiculous, especially considering what we have had over the years. So YOUR logistics in this instance are irrelevant. Your entitled to an opinion though.

My opinion I'm glad we have someone who can get the receivers the ball as we find our future QB! I think we forget the last ten years of our qb's;

2010 Jason Campbell (12) / Bruce Gradkowski (4)
2009 JaMarcus Russell (9) / Charlie Frye (3)
2008 JaMarcus Russell (15) / Andrew Walter (1)
2007 Josh McCown (9) / Daunte Culpepper (6) / JaMarcus Russell (1)
2006 Andrew Walter (8) / Aaron Brooks (8)
2005 Kerry Collins / Marques Tuiasosopo (1)
2004 Kerry Collins
2003 Rick Mirer / Rich Gannon / Marques Tuiasosopo

Does anyone really know the implications related to releasing Palmer? Truly? I've seen a lot of radically different notions reported.

Why would you pay anybody to NOT win you games. Palmer had nobody to throw to that was a threat to opposing teams at least Romo had Miles Austin.
Palmer needs and deserves another season,dropped passes and bad route running are not his fault although he did throw a lot of int's this year ,we had no running game.Pryor would benefit being behind Palmer another year and then we can go from there.

Good QBs make those around them better, not the other way around. Regardless, he isn't worth $7-13+ mil. a year. Both Brady and Manning make their players better ala Stokley and Welker. Both are guys who wouldn't succeed without their QBs (Stokley struggled and was out of the league shortly after leaving Indy).

I was Palmer's biggest supporter if you look at previous posts of mine, but at this point in our organization I just don't think Palmer is worth the price tag. Their are plenty of other guys in the league who can throw INTs and make bad decisions (my biggest gripe on Palmer). It is one thing when you are down in a game and you have to force some throws, but Palmer does it regularly and isn't mobile enough to succeed behind our OL.

I was doing some research on Pryor and found this little video of him working on his throwing motion about a year ago with Chad Ochocinco, a little raw but not to shabby...

Terrelle Pryor - QB - Raiders
Raiders coach Dennis Allen reiterated that he came away impressed with Terrelle Pryor's Week 17 spot start.
"He’s obviously somebody that we’ve got to take account of and know that he’s a guy that can create things," said Allen, praising Pryor's athleticism and "playmaking" ability. "His presence on the field was what I thought impressed me the most. The game was not too big for him." Pryor completed 13-of-28 passes for 150 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against the Chargers, and ran nine times for 49 yards and a third score. He'll likely be Oakland's primary backup behind Carson Palmer in 2013.

I don't think Allen is capable of giving anyone a straight answer.

WOW

So we have him for two more years....is it just better to cut him now or have him around for two more years and let TP develop sort of like Rodgers did in Green Bay. I know Palmer isn't no Farve but it gives him time for a smooth transition and into a better team than we have now.

[NYRaiderLove]

We need a Qb who will put his team on his back thoooooo. Hold my diiiiiick! ..........hopefully someone knows where I got that from

Soo much determination doeee.. Get off me child's play. LITTLE BOIII, LITTLE BOII.. Darren sharper hold ma diiiiiiickkkkkk. Bet video hahah

You mean against the cap? or money owed? both?

[fishedz]

Greg Rosenthal suggests it is not gaurenteed here, and this is NFL.com. I read somewhere that only 6-7mil of next years 13mil is gaurenteed so that would be the hit...

This really is confusing...but given the backend of his contract, I want nothing to do with that...

[BIG worm]

i would like tp to start for us next year, and if it doesnt work out, we end up with Clowney.
