Terrelle Pryor in Silver n' Black

Posted on: August 25, 2011 4:17 am

By drafting Terrelle Pryor in the third round of this year's NFL Supplemental Draft, the Raiders have finally signaled that they are ready to try and groom their own quarterback again. At this point no one can definitively state how this will end, but despite whatever controversy or results may ensue, this was a good move by the Raiders. Clearly some fans have already begun to rehash conflicting reports about his accuracy or attitude, but in the end, there is little doubt that Terrelle Pryor seems to have the all the physical tools necessary to be successful in the NFL, so the Raiders were wise to take him in the third round...

At the end of the day, regardless of how this turns out, the Raiders were wise to take a chance on Terrelle Pryor in the third round. However, in the spirit of disclosure, I must state that I have not followed Pryor's football career in Ohio and do not generally have the time, at this point, to follow a lot of college football - except for, on occasion, UCLA Football - so, I am relying on various scouting reports in assessing Pryor. Nevertheless, the points enumerated above focus on the decision rather than on the player and to that end, the decision to draft a player of Pryor's caliber was a sagacious one. Moreover, the decision to keep him at quarterback may pay huge dividends for the Raiders in the long run, for if the Raiders succeed with Pryor at quarterback, they will undoubtedly become a very dangerous team to defend against and for Terrelle Pryor personally, the quarterback position seems to be where his heart is.

Sagacious: Definition: Keen mind, screwd.

Not everyone on the west coast (hear this ESPN) thinks taking TP was a decision made by a "fibbertigibbet". :biggrin:

NAPA, Calif. (AP)—Quarterback Terrelle Pryor(notes) signed a four-year contract with the Oakland Raiders on Thursday, three days after being picked in the third round of the NFL supplemental draft.


The Raiders announced the signing late Thursday night and said Pryor would take the field for his first NFL practice on Friday.


The Raiders play their third exhibition game on Sunday against New Orleans and it would be extremely unlikely that Pryor would play. The Raiders then will have three practices before the exhibition finale at Seattle on Sept. 2.

Looks like the contract he inked (how can we live without tat jokes?) is worth $2.7 million for 4 years.

SFChronicle

Pryor's deal is worth $2.7 million (minus $117,000 for his five-game NFL suspension), with incentives the last three years worth another $122,000. The Raiders selected him in the third round of Monday's supplemental draft; he can practice with the team until the regular season starts and his suspension begins.

TP really excelled the last two years when the line started run blocking and Boom and Zoom stepped up their game. We still have a great line, Boom, and many talented RB's. I think we'll be fine if we have a QB that simply can keep defenses honest so we can run the ball. I will grant you that is a far cry from the explosive offense afforded by TP though.
