It looks like Terrelle Pryor has some new art on his right forearm (HT: EDSBS via MGoBlog). Maybe this will help him throw the football with a little more success.
This has to be a recent addition because he did not have it at the Buckeye Spring game >>>Not that it matters to anyone but him, but this seems like a strange choice for a kid that seemingly has aspirations to play football beyond his time in Columbus. I hope he plans on wearing long sleeve shirts for the rest of his adult life.

he led the big ten in passing efficiency... as a freshman....a true freshman...
"Maybe this will help him throw the football with a little more success."
i'll take Reaching for Anything at this Point for $1000 Alex
Passing efficiency.... Vince Young proved that the stat is a joke. Coaches and delusional fan use it to describe a qb that can't really throw the ball well but does complete a lot of little "safe" passes.
Watch the Texas / Ohio State Bowl game again and tell me what a great passer he is.
oh the one that he played with a bad shoulder?
gotcha
quarterbacks in the 2008 ncaa passing efficiency top 10...
sam bradford, colt mccoy, tim tebow, marc sanchez, graham harrell, chase daniel
i guess those guys can't really throw the ball well, except those safe little passes huh?
do some research before you spout off crap
You're a tool Sru.
That stat is crap. Even Herby was saying during the Penn State game that he was amazed how more of Pryor's moon shots weren't being picked off. He throws a mean duck, and that is about it. He has potential to be better, but like Andy said, VY proved that stat is crap. It's easy to throw well when you're in a great established program and the coaches don't let you throw tough throws because it is so easy to get the win the safe way. He was forced to try against PSU and UT and stunk. His throwing abilities were an ESPN joke last year on many broadcasts.
BTW,
The other QBs all have great arms and decision making ability and thrived in high powered spread offenses. They are pure throwers. Tebow is dual threat superman who only needs to toss to Harvin in the flat, and Sanchez played with the best against lesser competition everyday.
TP was babied through the season so as not to let the offense get ahead of him. Henne handled a helluva a lot more offensive play work than TP his freshman year because he was a far more developed passer at that point in time. In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that TP will never be a better passer than Henne is. He may have Troy Smith abilities, but he's lower than average as far as passing goes.
Don't kind yourself.
Speaking of,
On MGoBlog is a picture of Woodley's Wolverine tatoo, and if you watch the youtube video where Herby gets blown up in Ann Arbor, you can hear Keith Jackson say that Herbstreit throws up another floater. Guess Herby knows something about throwing a floater after all.
do some research before you spout off crapOf the QBs you listed, only three made themselves available for the NFL draft. 2 of them went undrafted.
I can understand you getting defensive if I said TP was not a good player or an amazing athlete -- but I can't believe that you are actually defending the myth that he is a good passer.
Hurt shoulder or not, he does not scare any defensive coordinator because of his arm.
research???
if someone had bothered to read any of the msm coverage of tosu's spring practices - dispatch & plain dealer included- they would have seen that THE story all spring was how much work Prior had put into changing his throwing motion, how much improvement he had made, and how much more he still had to do.
most if not all of the post spring game analysis focused on his progress to date on improving his throwing, and most of the preseason speculation concentrates on how much more improvement he needs to make by fall.
speaking of the spring game, here's a little morsel that didn't make it big in the MSM or blogs:

maybe his throwing motion isn't his biggest problem after all...
