Like I said, just throwing it out there as a "way too early" prediction.

If Boeckman weren't a senior, I could envision that too. But unless Boeckman continues to regress or Henton just blows the coaches away, Tressel will start the 6th year senior.

Just kind of going out on a limb.
Again, it's not likely, but if Henton wins the number one spot, and Pryor shows enough early on to warrant some small PT, then Boeckman might be left out.
I guess I would say it could end up like this: 1. Henton, 2. Boeckman, 3. Pryor. Now if Henton gets injured, Boeckman is there to step in w/ his experience. But during a game, Tress may be more likely to put Pryor in for a few plays moreso than Todd.

Raw talent isn't a "skill set". He may see the field as a true frosh, but barring injury to Boeckman or Henton, the only time he'll see it is in garbage time.

Pryor has a clear edge as a runner... something that can be featured in the 'package QB' reps.

Did I miss something, did Terrelle Pryor already commit? If not then why is he even being brought up as getting playing time on a team he hasn't signed with? Why aren't we focusing on talking about using Todd Boeckman and Antonio Henton similar to Matt Flynn and Ryan Perriloux(it's probably already been stated)? I know Pryor's favoring us a lot now, but he hasn't signed on the dotted line(yet), and let's not set ourselves up for a letdown.

I don't believe you've taken this thought far enough.
Proposition: No further discussion of 2008 tOSU QBs UNTIL the the 2008-09 season is over. Wisdom by hindsight is so much clearer than speculative prediction.
