What is wrong with this kid? He states that he will only play QB or nothing. It is a team sport. Why not state that he is willing to do whatever is best for the team?

No kidding. Figured he'd be packing groceries back home by now.

Tim Tebow has essentially the same demand/objective in that he will only sign an NFL contract to be a QB. Both likely have made enough money to do whatever the want to do. Both will likely never be starting QB's in the NFL again, save for injuries to others in front of them. That said, being a backup QB in the NFL ain't all that bad when it comes to career aspirations.

Well, I think it will be nothing.

It always has been with him.

Tebow is silly too, but I don't think that Tebow can play any other position.

I don't think this paragraph is hard to understand:

""This is a joy for me," Pryor said Friday about participating in the rookie camp. "I went to Hue and said I can do this minicamp because I need reps. I'm not going to get them when Andy [Dalton] gets here. I have to understand, take the reps I get, focus in, laser in and do the best I can.""

He just want to be the field general, practice squad or whatever. That is what makes him happy in football right now.

Ah, sometimes you just gotta let things go. Why spend the mental energy rooting against anybody? Pryor got paid extra bennies, but AFAIK he never caused trouble or hurt anybody. Live and let live. If he can get a job, then good for him.

I hope that I did not come across as a hater of Pryor. I really like watching him play football. I think he would be a great slot receiver. This kid is a great athlete, just not an NFL QB.

He is closer to his favorite tattoo parlors now.

Oh no, you're cool as far as I'm concerned. I don't think he's an NFL QB either, but if he can hang around, good for him.

Fox, I agree. One should have fun while making some money. I really enjoy watching the kid play the sport, and will root for him since he is no longer playing for OSU.
