Pryor supposedly 7th best in Big Ten, based on potetional from last years Rose Bowl of course.

Than 21-5 with a Rose Bowl win. I'm sure.
I didn't say that. I would rather not have someone who backs Mike Vick and says unvelievably stupid things to reporters. I would rather have an actual QB for the next 3 years rather than someone who keeps having plenty of potential after every season passes. I would also rather use the bathroom than shit in a cooler, so I guess we can see a lot of the differences between a UM fan and an OSU fan, can't we.
at quarterback who has won one Big Ten game?
I mean, I'll give you some credit: Denard Robinson looked better in the spring than he did last year, but to say he - or Forcier - is any better than Pryor at this point is just ludicrous homerism.
Stick to the ad hominem attacks, bright boy. I don't think you know much at all about the game of football.
Nowhere did I say that Forcier or DRob is any better than Pryor, I said I would rather have them both than have the guy who keeps having plenty of potential but never gets any better.
Also, good one on the big words. Ad hominem....impressive Mr. "you need to graduate high school."
Right, because what happened in the past is inexorably fated to happen, in perpetuity, in the future forever, right? Because Pryor didn't improve greatly for much of last year, he won't improve this year - OR EVER! That's how most career arcs go, right?
Personally I'm hoping Pryor's career in the next 2 years ends up going a lot like Tony Hayward's career in the last 2 months. But I agree that it's foolish to assume he won't improve simply because he didn't last offseason.
Meaningful statistics have an N value > 1.
Thats not what I said. I said it doesn't look like, in 2 years, he has progressed much at being a QB, therefore unless it just clicks for him, I don't see him making a heisman-esque improvement next year. I actually think he took a step backwards this year. The kid just didn't impress me. Was he great against Oregon? Yes. Was he great against a poor Michigan defense? Not at all. If the question is do I think Pryor will do pretty much the same thing next year as he did this year, my answer is yes. If the questions is will he be great against shitty teams and then let the defense win the game against good teams? Yes. Sorry I don't see an amazing QB, but his arm-punting is not what wins OSU games, it is the defense. His being a great player is less about his being a great QB and more about being a good leader of the offense.
If he rolls up video game stats? OSU won a fancy trophy with Craig freaking Krenzel "managing" the offense and winning with defense. I'll take it any way we can get it. I don't care if Pryor doesn't complete a pass all season if a NC is the end result. Living up to hype, rolling up stats and winning a HT has gotten OSU exactly nothing recently. 06 was stats galore and a HT, got us a nice ass kicking. Pick your poison, I know which I want.
I don't give a shit what OSU does, I was talking about Pryor as a QB. When did all the buckeyes start reading MGoBlog? When did all the buckeyes start reading period?
