Around SBN: Tom Brady And The Confusing Pantheon Of QB Greatness

Terrelle Pryor: Great Quarterback Or The *Greatest* Quarterback?

Ohio State fans can't decide, either*.  They're actually debating whether he's Vince Young or Peyton Manning.  Personally, I think they are selling Pryor short.  He's clearly Peyton Manning crossed with Randall Cunningham, duct-taped to Roger Staubach, stapled to Y.A. Tittle, only with the personality of an 11 year old girl clearly in her "boys are stupid, everything is terrible" phase. 

Which, if you put it all together, looks a lot like this:

The more I read, the more ridiculous this gets

“if he can get the passing skills of Manning, and the running skills of Vince, he’ll be one of the top QBs ever in the game of CFB”

No shit, sherlocks. Hell, if I can do that, I too would be one of the top QBs ever. Unfortunately I’ve never yet seen anything that would make me impressed with his passing skills, and while he’s a good runner, I wouldn’t say he’s even near the best at that, yet. Couple that with his pretty bad decision making (not unexpected for a true freshman, so hopefully for OSU that’ll get better) and he’s a decent QB at best (so far).

Admittedly I haven’t watched nearly as much of Pryor as the OSU faithful have, but I did watch most of his games last year, and his arm punts are just ridiculous. I swear half of his “great” passes were just luck that the defenders didn’t get to the ball in time, and/or his WRs made good plays.

since he thinks option 3 “a Vince-like scrambler with the arm and decision making skills and leadership of Peyton” combination is the more likely outcome.

You can’t go wrong with a kid that throws like Vince and runs like Peyton. One other QB that he reminds me of is Dan Marino. I think TP definitely pouts and cries like Dan Marino. That’s a lethal trio there!

I belive they had him hooked up with a trainer at a very young age also. That is such a set up for an early flame-out, and kind of sad. Like child actors who peak at 14.

He's in Indiana too?

Did not realize that. We saw about 100 Tom Raper billboards in Ohio when we moved back here from Colorado a few years ago. Totally creepy. I mean, if that’s your name, don’t you go with some sort of generic name, like, I don’t know, Pinnacle RV’s?

I believe

This was right after the brilliantly thrown “Fuck It, I’m Going to Throw It Downfield” desperation throw that was the nail in the coffin that began this little gem:

Assuming no one is planning to build themselves an extra grotto

What if a portion of the BSD shop’s funds went to buy thebillboard.

by dawsonPSU10 on May 14, 2009 11:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

The scary part

Is even if we put the full proceeds of the BSD shop’s money toward signage, we wouldn’t have enough to pay a homeless guy $8/hour to hold up a hand-drawn sign on the side of I-80 for more than six or seven hours.

I'm sure

you’d get a ton more interest if you told us the proceeds were going to such a worthy cause

My vote goes for two billboards

One on Route 80 and one on the Turnpike right on the PA side of the border so all of the Ohio State fans can read it was they’re entering PA for the game. I’ll gladly kick in some cash!

by RNF18 on May 15, 2009 8:42 AM EDT up reply actions  

We can do better than that!

I envision something with bacon in the background, a picture of Zug, and we can throw in something about blaming Iowa. They’ll be so confused they won’t know what to do. Oh yeah, maybe we can throw something in about them leaving the city and entering the country. I’m sure somebody can photoshop something that would represent BSD!

by RNF18 on May 15, 2009 9:56 AM EDT up reply actions  

SAVE US JEEBUS!

We are about to shoot all credibility in the online world that we had right in the arse with a billboard like that!

And I fricking love it!

Ha!

So I was ridin your jock from the outset? lol.

As for RIGHT, it’s pretty equivocal, since both us spoke for others using ‘we.’ I’ll stand by my part of we in that he was about as mediocre a passer as I thought he would be, but will grant you he might have ended up being better than group expectations. (don’t make me say devlin would have beaten Iowa, cuz I will!)

I had to click back there

and then noticed I said “I feel confident in this year’s team”, so I am also claiming to be right…b/c I meant “confident” as “we’ll finish top 10”.

I love reading old threads

You get to see exactly how wrong you were about things.

The run up to last season was intense, what with the kool-aide drinkers v. overly pessimistic fan civil war.

It’s funny, I can think of at least one person that was highly critical of the Daryl Clark call that never posted again after the Oregon State game.

If the billboard thing is played out

As a backup, I suggest a plane dragging a banner in a constant loop over Ohio Stadium the weekend after the game.

You know, assuming we win.

Come on man, this is BSD!

We should hire the plane to fly around Ohio Stadium at the NM State game the week before our matchup!

I'll even...

flash BSD to raise money for that!

Do you know how much money you may have potentially just flushed down the toilet? We could have paid for two planes in Columbus.
