DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Browns claim Terrelle Pryor

Hines Ward and Randell El were a college QB's that had good careers in the NFL at WR. Pryor has much more athletism than both of those players.

Julian Edelman, Josh Cribbs, and Brad Smith, also (let's not talk about Matt Jones). The odds are not in Pryor's favor, but he definitely has the athleticism to make it interesting.

Wait.

How was Terrelle Pryor trading his own personal belongings for some free tattoos a selfish act on his part?

It was Jim Tressel who covered it up, and it's a stupid rule by the NCAA to begin with.

Man, that Pryor sure is a piece of scum for trading his personal belongings for a tattoo. Someone drag him out back and shoot him!

Give me a break...

He's also a few years behind though.

Those guys made the switch right out of college to the best of my knowledge.

Pryor has A LOT of catching up to do. Hopefully he can. I think a lot of it will depend on his ability to run routes and learn a playbook as a receiver.

Please do not misinterpret what I said.

He was also using cars that were given to him by alumni.

He also said he would stay at Ohio State and then bailed on the team.

Please do not change what I am saying in order to make me look stupid. I do not appreciate that.

Change what you're saying? You called him a piece of crap.

Put yourself in his shoes for a second.

Do you honestly think any of the players involved knew that they weren't allowed to trade their own personal belongings for tattoos!? It's a ridiculous rule by the NCAA to begin with, and then it was Tressel who covered up the lie not the players.

Taking cars to drive around from boosters is a bone headed move, but he sure as hell isn't the only kid at Ohio State doing it, and he won't be the last.

Pryor is a bone head, I'm not condoning him, but calling him a piece of crap and saying he's the antithesis of a team-first player is pretty harsh.

It is my opinion that he is a piece of crap.

You don't have to agree, but don't make stuff up about as to the why of what I am saying.

haha Geez now Pryor? Boy they are trying anything and everybody they can think of. If we ran some kind of Wildcat with Pryor and maybe only throw it like 5 times a game, we could win maybe 4 or 5 games this year.

was thinking the same about johnny but then i remember he wouldnt stay healthy for mor than 2 games.

Thanks man I needed the laugh, it gets stranger and stranger around here...

What does our offensive line and running game have to do with Pryor being claimed as a wide receiver?

Or did he mean McCown?

If the story is true and he used a Cincy Practice Tape, guy hasn't learned a thing since collge. Does anyone know if this story broke before or after Cleveand signed him?

Otherwise, something doesn't sound right. Pryor tries out for QB with Cincy. He makes tapes of his practice plays. As soon as he is let go, he declares himself a WR. Does anyone else find that odd?

What's really sad is that's probably the truth. They could start him opening day and be no worse off.

The guy was just cut from his 4th team. The switch is to try and proactively extend his NFL career. I have no idea if their was any motive behind leaking the Bengals practice drills, but it's Mini-camp right now, how much of it could have been THAT critical to the Bengals success this up coming season? I'm not necessarily a Pryor homer, just trying to look at the entire situation objectively. He's a very low risk gamble with potential for high reward if he can turn heads and make the team. Then we'll look like the geniuses who took a chance on him.

There's better options on WRS just waiting to be given a try out.waiting for a phone call.
It's appearant Farmers is not the brightest GM when it comes to building a WR core.
this is a waste of time by the geniuses in Berea.
Pryor can't even run a choice route at this stage.

Who are these better options just waiting for a phone call to come try out?

How do you know what kind of routes Pryor can and can't run considering he JUST made the switch to WR late last week?

I don't see how anyone can complain. There is absolutely NO RISK in this pick up. The upside can be tremendous. Even if worse case he is a locker room cancer, so he's cut. I don't care if the odds of him actually progressing is 1% - I'll take that chance anyday. IT COST US NOTHING!


Ding! Ding! Ding!

Its funny but I knew what you would post before you wrote it...

Warfield was a RB in college, but did display a knack for catching the ball.

Maybe we can trade Manziel and Pryor to Philly for Bradford. Then Chip Kelly could install his dream offense, the Full-House Quarterbackfield ... the Triple-Triple Option ... Tebow / Manziel / Pryor ... unstoppable.

Its just always comes with a very predictable slant.

Browns went for the guy he is great.

No longer a Browns he sucks, broke my heart was never worth spit anyway. Its your way and its predictable sorry if you don;t like it.

BTW I actually agree with your "logic" in this instance although I confess that is rare these days. It's strange as hell to me that they bring him here as a WR, but who knows, and then again who knows? Is it as advertised?

Yes but can they throw, a decent pass, between the three of them I am not sure... ones too short, ones too slow and ones too stupid

Yeah we can throw in McCown as a bonus as long as he has a solid O Line and a great RB he will be a lateral move................LMAO

Worst case scenario: If he shows progress and has tools, the PS could do worse than TP.

Kind of dumb, maybe. But he has some athleticism. Should be OK out of slot. As this is, what, 4th or 5th stop? Should be motivated if he is to stick in Bigs.

red zone specialist.

Any bets he's off the roster by the start of the 2nd week of training camp? I don't think he'll make it that far.

It all depends on how well he can catch. If he shows that, given his athletic ability, they'll invest the time into seeing if he can become a WR.

This.

You are potentially getting 2-for-1 roster spots here.

High risk, high reward. If it works out, great. If not, nothing lost.

I think this is a smart move to give it a shot. That's what this time of the year is for, isn't it?

Exactly! Can't believe there is this much discussion on this subject.. He's either going to produce or he'll be working at Acme Supermarkets, perhaps in the Produce section.

Anyway, it's a cheap way to find out.

Pffftttttt....

Your'e trying to compare Pryor with Warfield?

What? Where in the world did you get that idea from?

I freaking answered tab's question as to what position he played in college.

Good God........

Get a grip. My mistake.

Settle down you two, don't make me turn this car around.

so......what if this guy replaces Cameron at the TE spot? i mean they have similar stats as far as body height/weight, and Pryor is faster.

That would be nasty!!
