This.
Anybody looking for TP to start next year or to be cut is just fooling themselves. TP looked, well, the way he always has. I said this when we drafted him and I'll say it again. TP is a hard worker, a winner, and a playmaker. He's not always pretty about it, but that's just what he is. I don't know if he'll ever be a starter in this league, but he proved today that he is worth the practice reps and the chance to improve. IMO he is now the backup, should have been all year, but now for sure. That's all this was ever about for me though. Prove you belong kid.
Next year Palmer is our starter unless money is a problem. TP is the backup and we either draft a guy late or sign an UDFA to be the #3.

wha? You don't think aso is worth 7 mil a year? He is due to make 15 mil this upcoming year. If he gets cut. Don't think he will be signed for less than 7 mil a year . |
I don't think he is worth 7 million to this team. We aren't win now, and at his age (32) 7 million a year is a win now, Al Davis move.

Don't know whether or not it's the only way he feels comfortable. I do know that he has no mechanic set in which he plants and drives with his shoulder, hips, and feet positioned properly, hence no zip. Can he add that to his game? That's a really tough thing for even the best natural passers or smartest players to add if they don't have it.
I feel as if the strength is there in him, but the mechanic set doesn't exist at all. Can you invent it? I don't know if the best raw product possible added to the best QB coach on earth can do it, but I don't know that its impossible either. |

| Pryor showed enough natural talent and physical ability to deserve another shot to try to develop as a quarterback in the nfl. He is clearly a long ways off from being even a serviceable starter in the league but showed enough raw talent and playmaking ability under duress today to see what he's got. Everyone should remembe that he was running for his life most of the game. We would be better off building around the quarterback position and seeing what an improved o line and a real #1 receiver could do for this team. Let alone how much help the d needs. Unless Barkley falls to us in the 3rd or 4th round ( never gonna happen) then I say we stick with Palmer with Pryor as the primary backup. |

Great, great post.
On the mechanical point, it should be clear to everyone that Pryor isn't going to be a guy with beautiful passing stats, and a lovely throwing motion but if he can improve the way he throws (adding velocity should be his key concern, followed by deep accuracy - both fixed by footwork IMO) and keeps his solid decision making/play-making ability he could be a good starting QB in the league. However that is a huge IF, will require another full year of work before he is close to being ready to start and a ton of hard work.

| We gotta bring someone in to compete with him. Flynn, a rookie, someone... I guess it kind of depends on the new OC too. |

Again, my thing is he's looked this way since his sophomore year at Ohio State. He hasn't progressed much. Same mechanical problems, same footwork problems, same arm strength, same mistakes. He had always been a hard worker but he has progressed very little. That is important whether you want took admit it our not.
I wonder what, if anything, would be his trade value. We need as many picks as we can get.

I agree with you guys.
Pryor showed enough to be given another year and a chance to fix his mechanical issues.

I do not see Palmer on this team next season unless he reworks his contract completely... I still don't think Allen or McKenzie really want him though. Raiders and Allen would have been better off starting Pryor all season. Going 4-11 with a 33 year old veteran QB doesn't exactly get me excited...
Hard to judge things with Knapp destroying everything though too. |

He has been doing it since OSU. It's just how he does it. His velocity has always been a weakness |
I watched Pryor plenty at OSU. I want to know if his arm strength can be improved through his mechanics improving. That's going to need to happen, or else he doesn't have a future at QB. Kid's a special athlete, so I hope he's not waisting his talent when he has potential elsewhere.

I thought the same but then you have to think, if he hasn't improved his arm strength in any way, is there a way to do it? I don't think there is b/c this has been an issue far too long.

This is obviously something Reggie and Dennis are gonna have to decide if he has the ability to make these improvements necessary, specifically his touch passes have to have more zip on them and the balloon throws have to go away period, Pryor has a lot of physical talent that lets him get away with some of his mistakes and that is probably the number one reason the coaching staff will keep him but they have got to make a 100% commitment towards this kid from this time forward, someone has to be brought in to work on these specific flaws or else hes just another wasted project. Unless they are willing to make the investment then get whatever we can this offseason and move on.

| honestly id say pryor was real lucky to have the stats he had today. easily couldve had about 4 picks and 0 points. however he did make some plays and i was excited to watch him all game. i pesonally dont like palmer and would like to see him gone but im really not sold on pryor although i would love for him to come back next season with a little more accuracy and start and win some guys for us. |
