Gabe Northern Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Through two games, Terrelle Pryor has thrown 20 passes for 147 yards (7.35 per attempt) and run 3 times for 87 yards and a touchdown. By comparison, EJ Manuel has thrown 47 passes for 263 yards (5.6 yards per attempt) and only added 8 yards rushing. Maybe Manuel is the better prospect, but the difference is not as great as many on this board might suspect. EJ's unwillingness to run makes him one-dimensional. And that dimension is not good. Conversely, Pryor has a big arm and a nice throwing motion to develop with enough athleticism to win games as a back-up in the mean time. Leaving that more provocative discussion aside, why did Russ Brandon and Doug Whaley decide to enter 2014 with the worst QB depth chart in the NFL? Was it to boost EJ's confidence? Incompetence? Over estimation of Tuel and Lewis? Pryor is an athletic freak who was available as an unrestricted free agent at the league minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I wanted Pryor. I thought Seattle traded for him, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I believe it was Andy Warhol who said that in the future, anyone who has ever thrown a spiral will have a thread dedicated to them on an internet football forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 i think the obvious question you have to ask yourself is if hes available at league minimum is he really THAT good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Compare their stats from the 2013 regular season when they both played against starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Ugh another one of these. It seems like it is going to be a long year here at TBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Pryor would make a great TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I kinda like Pryor too, but I don't think his prescence would really help our QB situation all that much. He is a great athlete, but a project as a QB... he wouldn't make the Bills markedly better in 2014 if he was in our QB rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Oh for phuck sake. Pryor is now a better prospect than EJ based on two preseason games? Unbelievable. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 EJ = weeds. All other NFL QBs regardless of availability = green grass. Know this and accept it as truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I wanted to sign him then to but as a back up. I still would like the move, if he becomes available again. Just saying, he is a freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I still am not ruling out a possible pickup for the backup spot.... I dont think Tuel OR Lewis is making bills brass very happy right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I don't understand why we have this QB mess either, when Peyton was available! We totally should have traded Spiller to the Colts for Luck too. Then, we'd be set at QB for the next 15yrs!! I just don't get this FO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Can we bring back TrINT Edwards or JP "One Bounce In The Flat" Losman while we're at it too? Heck, why not talk Todd Collins and Drew Bledsoe out of retirement? Kelly Holcomb anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Northern Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Lots of posters seem to miss the larger point: Whether you prefer EJ or Terrelle as a prospect, our depth behind EJ is horrible and we could have fixed that by bringing in a dynamic athlete at little to no cost. Ironically, for all of those posters ridiculing Pryor, one reason they may have decided against bringing him in is because it may have eroded EJ's confidence by causing him to look over his shoulder at the superior athlete and college QB.

IMO. I watched his every snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I wanted Pryor. I thought Seattle traded for him, though. Yep. http://www.seahawks.com/news/articles/article-1/Seahawks-trade-for-QB-Terrelle-Pryor/4f003675-4d48-4f25-acc7-fa571554dcc4 For a seventh round pick, but traded nonetheless.

Maybe Someday Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Not true Gabe, Seattle traded a 7th rounder for him. Maybe we would have been interested if he did actually hit the FA market. At least get your facts straight before starting yet another thread on how bad our QB situation is.
