Cam Newton possibly riding the bench cause they bring back Delhomme to shit up some games?

Yea I can get behind that. The Miz rage itself will be worth it every week.

my friend in NY was waitressing and devin thomas sat down at her restaurant. She got to wait on them NOT FAIR

[Headspace]

She handed him his plate and he dropped it.

Also LOL @ Tyche's sig

and I love Dimmy's Grohl sig.

[Moss]

He is nowhere near the athlete that his other black qb counterparts are too. I honestly think a #2 qb would be really generous for him.

wat. He wasn't a great college QB but the dude is a beast of an athlete.

[noblemountain]

I think his biggest problem will be the mental side of things. Every interview I've seen of him has been painful to watch. You can get by in college being kinda dumb...but it will catch up to you in the NFL pretty quickly.*

*exception being VY who made it a few years before it caught him.

Ell Roberson was a better athlete than Terrel Prior by miles and miles.

Michael Bishop was a better everything than Terrel Prior by light years.

The only reason Vince lasted as long as he did was because the Titans owner has a bigger hard on for VY than Jerry Jones does for Texas players. If he had played for any other team he wouldn't have lasted long at all.

[archibaldcrane]

It also helped that Vince won a lot. What's his status now? Is he a free-agent?

The argument was that he would start 3 games in his career. If he can keep his attitude in check, I think he has enough physical skills to be better than some of the current back-up QBs in the league. There is also a chance he switches positions.

He also had a pretty damn good record as a starter.

The Titans still have his rights, he will be either traded or released when the lockout ends.

[Zoolander]

Not yet, needs to get cut first once football resumes.

He just can't throw accurately, or throw even a fucking spiral.

I'll take Chad Pennington's weak arm on Drew Bledsoe's immobile body over an athletic guy who can't hit his target.

[Moss]

Me too.

This argument is silly because I don't think the world of Pryor or anything, I just disagreed that he won't start 3 games at any position his entire career.

[Mizango]

Fuck yall niggas. Fuck Jake too.

[Mizango]

And for the record, im dick riding any team that drafts T.Peezy. He is going to finish the job that Bobby Hoying started.

Right.

Ell and Bishop were both waaaaaay better athletes.

Ell had a better deep ball.

Bishop had better everything.

Guess how many combined starts those 2 have?

Hell, guess how many combined career nfl passes they have...

There's not much good footage I can find of Bishop easily, but here's some:


This is the best I can find of Ell, who would be the best athlete of em by faaaaaaaaaar: (he's #3)


I think that was 2001, the year before Sproles got there.

Anyway, yeah, long story short, either of them could easily have been all big12 rb's, potentially even all americans. Neither of them did jack shit in the pros, and neither will Pryor.

[Valisk]

Honestly, Pryor should convert to a different position immediately. QB is just too complex for a person that's a "freak of an athlete" to get by. To bee effective at QB, you have to know too many things, read too many defenses, and make too many decisions that just being fast and agile isn't going to cut it.
