Terrelle's athleticism (excapability under pressure) and speed reminds many of Vince. Where as at the conclusion of last season many in the media and fans were wondering wether he would mature as a pure passer.

Well after a furiously motivated spring (pumping iron, working on mechanics, throwing motion, and building leadership skills) we had the type of performance by Terrelle in the spring game in front of a record 95,722 that are making many believers. His passing game obviously has been worked on and he has improved.

My question is will the Buckeyes be better off with a Vince-like Terrelle or a Peyton-like Terrelle guiding our offense? WE all know that the Peyton-like Terrelle will have a better opportunity in the NFL. But he has two more full seasons of college. In IMHO a little of both would send our offense into the STRATOSPHERE!   TP seems to be the type of athlete to pull it off. Of course a lot will depend on Tress and what style of offense he will run. Thoughts from the board.     Go Bucks!!

Vince won it all but Peyton didn't....in CFB.

Most quarterbacks idolized manning.

Vince Young was one of the highest rated passers in college football his last year. I'm not ready to put Pryor in that category until I see it on the field.

I can't wait to see Pryor improve and dominate on the field, but let's not forget about how completely dominant Young was, also.

Pryor led the Big-10 in pass efficiency as a true frosh.  I understand your stance though.

Maybe he will be Todd Boekman..Will you still love and droll all over him bgrupy? I bet you will...

Maybe he will just be Terrelle Pryor. A good college QB that has his own way.

The other poster said he is already a better paser than Vince.  Vince passed for 3000 yards while runing for another thousand and was the best player in college for probably at least the last decade, yes even better then St. Tebow. 

So, Pryor is not yet on Vince Young's level, if he can keep improving he may get there.

who has the db's to cover ohio state's wr's, the front seven to stop ohio state's running game, and the speed to chase pryor down if he leaves the pocket?

i know the dead horse is being beaten pretty good, but in the Big 10......with the surrounding cast pryor has to work with, pryor should look like manning, young, marino, elway, montana, starr, and unitas.

To be fair, the only defenses I think athletically matching up with OSU this year are USC,UF and LSU. Michigan will always have the horses, but they're in limbo now.

JT has recruited REALLY well the past couple years.

And yes, I think JT could take Saban behind the woodshed. We owe him one.
