"Tim Graham of ESPN has an idea. It involves a team taking Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor if he enters the Supplemental Draft in the wake of head coach Jim Tressel’s firing and his own six game suspension with the idea of turning him into another Brad Smith. As a couple readers mentioned, maybe Pryor could evolve into the type of player Brad Smith was for the New York Jets, a versatile player who can take snaps out of a pistol formation, return kicks or line up at receiver. I only mention this because some might draw a conclusion the team that might be losing Smith would have interest in picking up a guy with a similar college resume. I can pretty safely say the Jets should not be that team. The only way it makes sense is if you subscribe to a theory that since the team might lose an athletic wide receiver who played quarterback in college, it should find another athletic quarterback to replace him. Gang Green took Jeremy Kerley in the Draft. It is worth giving him a chance to fill that role. Unlike Pryor, he has experience as a return man and splitting wide, which is a leg up. As good as Smith was, he offered next to nothing as a receiver. Unlike Pryor, Kerley is not starting from square one. He knows the position. Having a guy play Smith’s role who can keep a defense honest as a pass catcher puts extra strain on the defense. Kerley also has experience as a Wildcat quarterback. There is no guarantee Pryor would even be as good as Smith. As Graham notes, Pat White had similar attributes but was very ineffective in a Wildcat role for the Dolphins in 2009.

Sure but only with a 7th rounder. I'm all for taking a flyer on an athlete but teams will overpay for this guy and I don't think we should at this point.
u need to diss yourself in the freestyle thread 1st rd? no fucking way. i think Pryor is best suited as a qb but he was completely mishandled at OSU and never forced to develop as a thrower. someone will take a flyer on him. I dont see him doing much unless going to a great coaching situation though.
Should the Panthers use next years first rounder on him? They could run an offense like this: The red lines are the running lanes, grey dotted lines represent that the snap could be directed to Newton or Pryor. KEEP DEM ON DEY TOES KNO WUT IM SAyIN
That's what Kerley is meant for though. I many do we need, and this is all speculating that Brad is gone. Which is likely, but you never know.
I'd be pretty surprised if Brad comes back. I think Kerley is more of a "real" WR, I don't think he can be the WC threat Brad was and Schottenheimer was in love w/ the WC. You cannot have enough talented football players on your roster. If he falls far enough I would certainly take a chance.
The trickiest stuff we'd probably see out of Kerley is a reverse I think. I can't see him taking direct snaps and running the ball.. he's just too small for that.
Brad Smith has about 3 inches and about 20 pounds on him. We saw how small can work for runners though in guys like Rice, Sproles, and Woodhead. I hope to god we get rid of that crap altogether though.
You don't have enough offensive linemen, there needs to be at least 9 men on the line and 13 on the field.
Reminds me of this thread: http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=56192 Damn mods, re-open that!
I want the JCotchrocket baby cancer thread to be reopened. I don't have a problem with JCotchrocket, but when you make a thread like that it should stay and you should have to fight through that rather than getting a pass.
