I was scared this was a anti TP thread. I dont care about the numbers. He won 2 major bowl games.

 

[Chris]

He will be an extremely controversial figure in Ohio State lore years from now, but one thing is for sure: he has been pretty successful on the field during his tenure, even if we haven't been to a title game with him and he isn't on the level we thought he'd be by now.

 

[caf]

I'll congratulate him on his collegic football career... after he asks me if I want fries with that.

I geuss you forgot that he is an outstanding basketball player and will most likely go to that if he doesnt turn out to be a good NFL player.

 

[Maximus]

You forgot one record -

3 separate traffic stops, in 3 different years, in 3 different cars that were registered to 3 people not named Terrelle Pryor. The most amazing coincidence of all - his personal car was in being serviced every single time he got a ticket.

Sorry, had to. :chuckles:

Great performance last night. Good luck in the NFL.

Edit: Nvm

One more thing;

,.... sporting a MiamiHeat cap right before his biggest game in the Sugar Bowl.

Nice touch. Nice last thing to remember him by.

See ya Pryor. You did play a decent game last night though. And thanks for apologizing. Now go play with your Daddy.... james.

A Miami Heat Cap?

Well, I guess if you can't make an argument based on his actual performance on the field....Worry about what logo is on his hat.

By the way, TP is from Jeannette, Pennsylvania.....I guess 76ers fans have a right to be pissed off.

He was born in Jeannette, PA, went to H.S in PA & now goes to college in Columbus, not Cleveland.

He has had absolutely zero ties to Cleveland whatsoever.

So why exactly are you mad that he had on a Heat cap?!

Come on dude.

Come on dude.

Cause he's a frontrunner and baby. And I hate both those traits in people.

Does he even root for the Heat....Or because he wears a hat he's become a Heatle.

GTFO with this garbage.....

 

[bigjmac0815]

I think he's one of if not the greatest QB in Ohio State History.......if he would win a national championship for Ohio State next season, that would put him at the top in my opinion

No; you come on dude.

Pryor could have worn a, gosh, IDK, an OSU cap on the field before the game? No; this guy wears a Miami Heat cap as he's good buds with James. He does not care how much sports fans over Ohio hate James for what he did, nor does he have a conscience at all about the pain Ohio fans feel about things. Of all the caps this guy could wear right before the Sugar Bowl and ON THE FIELD, he chooses a Heat cap?

No, you come on dude.

I don't want him playing for OSU next year. I appreciate he finally apologized and did so sincerely, but the guy is bad news on many levels.

What happens if Miller starts the first three or five games next year and tears up the field with both his running and passing, and OSU wins by 3 to 4 TD's in each game? Does Tressel then decide to bench the kid for Pryor?

 

[Ghost Writer]

I don't agree with the Miami cap (Smells like#6 influence) I'm certain about that, on the other hand Pryor is not ready for the NFL as a QB. I think he should return for his senior season, with that being said Miller, will be on schedule to take the reins over when Pryor exits and that is how it should pan out. Braxton Miller will get a chance to get his feet wet early, which bodes well on 2 levels: he gets exposed to football on the collegiate level while having a proven winner to learn certain aspects of the game from. Good situation Go Bucks
