Control of the huddle, players seemed to follow him, made some good throws. Seemed to be able to go through progressions and read the defenses. The obvious ability to extend the play.

This is part of what I was talking about last week. Manning throws into coverage or has wobbly passes and its no big deal. Someone else does it and they shouldnt be a QB. Makes no sense.
I dont want Pryor to be the starter, I want him to make progress and take over the #2 role by the start of the 13 season and progress from there. From what I saw in 1 game if he continues to improve and with a better OL and WR's, not to mention a running game I think he can be effective. |
Well I hope teammates listen to the QB. They're trying to make the roster also and not listening to the QB isn't a good way to do it. I don't care if that QB is Abe Vigoda, I'm listening to him and behind him if he's the QB. It's more a sheep thing than a "control" thing.
I mean, I guess he did all those things you listed but why not list the bad things?? He has no pocket presence (confirmed), he looked to be unsure of his arm, he looked very timid, his mechanics were terrible, he wanted to run before he wanted to throw, his accuracy was god awful (you spoke of him making some bad throws but his were 90% of the throws he made, others not so much) and I could go on.
You can't compare Pryor to Manning. Manning is something..... one of the greatest ever. He can get excused for those throws b/c he's shown he's Peyton Manning. Pryor is an overrated QB coming out of college that wasn't even very good in the first place and people think he's somehow going to magically get it.
FACT: He was downright terrible, awful, embarrassing, whatever you want to call it, against practice squaders and third stringers. No excuses. Pathetic.
I hope you don't want those things too bad b/c if he keeps this up, Crazy Three-Named guy will and should become our third stringer.

He's going to continue to improve IMO, because he has the will and drive to do so. His athleticism is a lot more than I originally anticipated. He's crazy athletic. |
No, people need to realize this is EXACTLY what he did at OSU and I have spent months trying to tell you people this LOL. "But he won games but he put up big numbers" who gives a crap. He wasn't a very good QB and he's certainly got NO BETTER.
He can be crazy athletic all he wants. Awesome. He NEEDS to be a crazy QB. He'll never be that.

Never? Ok then, if thats the confidence you have, can you do me and my family a favour and predict the Euro Millions numbers for me, please.

Some QB's cant do those things especially in their first game.
I never compared him to Manning as a player. I said a bad throw and pick is the same thing no matter who is throwing it. Manning was used as an example of someone the media glosses over as no big deal if he does it.
In all honesty how many 3rd stringers to you really think did better than he did this first pre-season week. He did better than I expected and made some poor throws. Now he needs to improve. He knows he didnt play as well as he could have and said as much. This is a whole different thing then when QB's make mistakes and still say they played well ala JRuss. I am confident he will improve. |

Cannot wait until the regular season so we don't have to talk about Pryor anymore. He can sit, learn and we can see if he's grown in 2014 when it will matter.

Agree. I will stop now unless he does something wonderfull or unforgivable. Its really a non issue conversation unless he does either. |

The odds of me being right about this based off of my knowledge of the kid which spans over many years of close observation are significantly greater than the impossible odds you asked me to give

Also, would like to see Newhall-Cabellero toss a few balls. Here he has a good arm. Might as well give him a shot.

Pryor got us farther than any of our other Quarterbacks, all while scrambling almost instantly, running back 15 feet every time he did scramble, and throwing passes at our receiver's feet. Was pretty ugly play out there from him. He didn't have much help and I want to see more to see if he can improve. It's pre-season so what's it gonna hurt?
More so surprised about the love for King when his poor job handling the ball for field goals cost us the game. I don't want him on the roster come the actual season, we have more important positions to worry about and we have arguably the best kicking unit in the NFL already.

You're a QB who has hype and you came in against 3rd and practice squaders and stunk it up.....
B/c it isn't a big deal is Manning tosses a bad throw. We all know what he can do. Pryor threw 15 bad throws last night. Aside from the easy pitch and catches he didn't have one accurate throw.
I think out of every game I watched last week, Pryor was the worst QB.

Lets all get off Pryor. People who have watched him for an extended period (college) know that he sucks as a passer and hasn't improved at all. If you want to keep faith because he is athletic and works hard, I can't blame you for that.
Lets talk about Dominique Hamilton. That kid played VERY well. He has to be worth a spot on the roster somewhere, reminds me of a young Tommy Kelly (another UDFA we found).

| Remember when people thought Bruce Campbell was the LT of the future and they were wrong. Trust that the coaches know what they are doing and stop hating on Pryor. |

+1. He is the Tebow of the Raiders. He's a good runner, terrible passer who people will make excuses for as long as he's in Oakland.
He looked exactly as I would have expected. |
Haha you guys seem like the same person some times... two accounts one person? 
Pryor has much more physical ability than Tebow. Both are innaccurate but atleast Pryor doesn't have that long release. Pryor just needs to have more confidence standing in the pocket. It looks like he gets a little nervous when pressure gets close around and it screws up all the mechanics he's being taught. He needs time to adjust to that type of pressure and he needs time to develop accuracy.
What's wrong with giving a rookie time? He's not going to be starting anytime soon so I really don't get what the problem is?

FIFY.
I'm really trying to understand what it is some of our posters see. Hike, stare down the pass rush, GLANCE down field, stare down the pass rush, pat the ball, pat the ball, pat the ball, wait for the pass rush to create a running lane. I saw Tebow's game with less confidence and less accuracy. The major difference between the two is that Tebow KNOWS what he is.
Pryor COULD have a career with the Raiders as a Wildcat/Special teams holder, etc. Everyone in the organizations needs to get on the same page and begin to develop this athletic freak. But every time I read someone embellishing something Pryor isn't I wanna hit myself in the face with a hammer. Yes Pryor did move the ball a little but it was brutal for to watch. For a moment I thought that was Kyle Bollar out there. Isn't that EXACTLY how he played. Lemme guess, Pryor gets a pass because of youth? At least Bollar showed accuracy at Cal, imo this is Pryor game just less effective at an NFL level.
