Terrelle Pryor Signs With Oakland Raiders

Terrelle Pryor got picked up as a supplement player by the Oakland Raiders.Will this be a good fit for the strong arm, athletic quarterback?Oakland has gotten into a habit making bad decisions about quarterbacks.They have went through several quarterbacks over the last several years.Trying to develop an athletic quarterback into a pocket quarterback takes years, if ever. Last year we saw Michael Vick for the first time in his career stay in the pocket and let the play develop. Before that he would just rely on his legs.Will he be able to continue that this year along with the great accuracy we saw last year? Time will tell.

Oakland has a very good running game but need a quarterback to keep the defense honest. When they drafted Russell from LSU, he was a big strong armed quarterback that could stretch the field with his legs also. The problem was he could never grasp reading the defense in the pros. It turned out to be an ugly seen in Oakland. They also tried Jason Campbell. Even though Campbell was a pocket quarterback, he didn't have the arm strength to stretch the field, therefore Oakland could not put points on the board.

Now they have signed Terrelle Pryor, who will miss the first 5 games of the season due to a college violation.So if you are Oakland, how do you handle this? Will you see if you go 0-5 and start him right away? Would you let him sit out this year and learn from the bench? If my team was not going to make the playoffs, I probably would let him play the final 3 games of the season just to get the speed of the game. He will soon find out that a 300 pound lineman can chase him down with no problem.It will also give the coaches a chance to see if he can read defenses. In college he had the green light to take off with the ball when he felt he was in trouble. In the pros you must let plays develop to be successful. This should once again be an interesting season for the Oakland Raiders.
