OT: Pryor/Oregon Article
As good as Pryor could have been in RR's system, he seems like a big time jackass.
__________
There was the chance to play for a successful head coach in Mike Bellotti, the opportunity to work under innovative offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and the ability to play in a system that perfectly fit his skill set. And then there was The Swoosh.
So which of these factors most appealed to Pryor? The answer won't surprise you.
"All that Nike stuff," the Ohio State quarterback said Monday. "Oh, yeah. I would probably have gotten in trouble taking all that Nike stuff. They have Nike all over the place. They have, what, 20 million uniforms? I'm sure they're going to come out with something [new]. I'll look at it and be like, wow."

The kids a horse...In more ways than one.
I know it probably sounds like sour grapes...
But I'm truly thankfull at this point that we "missed out".

Hmmm...
In anticipation of someone taking a swing at that softball I just pitched...
I was only speaking to his athletic ability and his intelligence with the horse comment. ;)

And as one of the more coveted high school prospects in recent history, he's used to facing teams that courted him during recruiting. "It's the same thing with Penn State and USC," he said. "It's going to be fun and it's going to be different playing against a team [Oregon] where the coaches recruited me, but it comes with the territory."Didn't Michigan recruit him?
December 28th, 2009 at 4:22 PM ^
Also, he already played USC, did he not?

Pat White, seemed to possess all of the leadership abilities necessary to lead.
Pryor doesn't.
I'll take Masoli all day, though.
December 28th, 2009 at 4:14 PM ^
so he could be like everyone else and just steal all that Nike stuff.
December 28th, 2009 at 4:18 PM ^
YEAH WHAT A STUPID ASSHOLE
WOW
NOBODY ON OUR TEAM WOULD RESPOND TO A FLUFF QUESTION IN THAT MANNER
NO SIR

Ding Ding Ding
We have a winner.
December 28th, 2009 at 7:11 PM ^
that you put this entirely in CAPS or we might have missed the sarcasm.
December 28th, 2009 at 4:23 PM ^
Why would he get in trouble for stealing Nike stuff? Everybody steals.
December 28th, 2009 at 4:25 PM ^
in my opinion, gardner is better at passing, although pryor may be more athletic. at least rich rod believes in tate enough to let him throw for more than 48 or so yards in one game.
December 28th, 2009 at 4:50 PM ^
Kudos to him, he deflected the question by answering it with pure fluff. That's exactly what every HC wants when their players talk to the media.

I've always thought there was something just not quite right with this guy. He doesn't look or act like a leader yet plays QB. Has the skill set for a spread offense but choose a pro-set/whatever JT chooses to use that week. Chooses OSU because they prepare QB's for the NFL? Constantly sticks his foot in his mouth upon opening it in pressers. I can't quite put my finger on what is wrong with this guy but something is wrong upstairs with him.
BTW, watched his presser, what is up with the HUGE glasses? Is it to help him see his receivers?
