 Well Ohio State Buckeye fans, you better hope Terrelle Pryor really is going to be your savior, because as Brian Cook’s article recently noted, Terrelle Pryor is the only quarterback Ohio State really has so he better stay healthy, and he better be great!
“You see, Ohio State backup quarterbacks Rob Schoenhoft and Antonio Henton transferred last year, leaving Pryor, senior Todd Boeckman, and 26-year-old ex-minor-league-baseball-player and walk-on Joe Bauserman the only quarterbacks on the roster. Boeckman is now out of eligibility….So, yeah, next year Ohio State’s quarterback depth chart will be Terrelle Pryor, Walk-on baseball guy, and basically Nick Sheridan.”
Terrifying!
Now there’s no question that Terrelle Pryor showed he can be the man at Ohio State. And there’s no question that he’s sure he’s the man everywhere he goes. Yeah, he’s immensely talented, a huge guy at 6′6″, and unfortunately the only hope The Buckeyes have.
Will Pryor Have The Leadership Skills?

 Aaron Murray and Zach Mettenberger both committed to the Georgia Bulldogs for the 2009 season, and after the departure of Matt Stafford, everybody is looking to the future to see what’s in store for the Georgia Bulldogs this year. But not so fast. You have a fifth year senior in Joe Cox that’s more than ready to take the helm and has already been awarded the starting position for 2009. So either Aaron Murray or Zach Mettenberger will take over in 2010? Not so fast, again! You have Logan Gray, a sophomore, a close second behind Cox. But let me tell ya, it’s gonna be all that Gray can do to hold off the two recruits behind him for the starting job in 2010 and beyond – and maybe even for the backup spot in 2009.

 Pat White and Drew Willy are two quarterbacks who are not getting the recognition they deserve. With all the talk about Matt Stafford, Mark Sanchez, and Josh Freeman, everybody is overlooking Drew Willy and Pat White. I’m a season ticket holder for the Buffalo Bulls, so I’ve watched Drew Willy play for years now. And I’ve watched my share of Pat White, including yesterday’s NFL combine, and even I was totally impressed with his quarterbacking abilities.
Pat White – His Quarterbacking Skills are Underrated
Pat White made a great showing at the 2009 NFL Combine. He was the surprise of the day for the quarterbacks in my book – and a lot of the analysts agreed. We know about Pat White’s athleticism – he ran a 4.5 in the 40 yd dash and hit his head on the dome roof in the vertical. He’s not big at about 6′0″ 200 lbs, but

Stafford….have you lost your mind? Matt Stafford is coming out of college as a junior and as I stated in a previous post, Stafford is being considered as a first round draft pick by the Detroit Lions. I personally don’t feel Stafford is ready for the NFL, but he wasn’t going to risk being taken in the 345th round in the 2010 NFL draft in the middle of what could be one of the best quarterback classes ever. But unless he knows something about the 2009 NFL draft that we don’t, this move just does not make any sense.
How has this worked out in the past for others that have skipped the combine? Well, you need look no further than Brady Quinn, as he waited several hours before being drafted by the Cleveland Browns with the 22nd overall pick, and Matt Leinart, the Heisman Trophy winner,

 The three quarterbacks that are projected for the first round in the 2009 NFL draft are:
Matt Stafford – Georgia Bulldogs
Mark Sanchez – USC Trojans
Josh Freeman – Kansas State Wildcats

 Wow. Matt Ryan just tore it up his rookie year for the Atlanta Falcons. After being named AP’s Offensive Rookie of the Year, Ryan has shown that Rookie quarterbacks can indeed make an impact and lead an NFL team to success. Well, at least some success. The Atlanta Falcons went 11-5 in 2008 after going – well, let’s not talk about 2007. Anyhow, as great as he played his rookie year, can he continue to progress his sophomore year? The biggest thing holding him back may not be his own progress – it may be that of the opposing defenses.
Nobody game plans for a rookie quarterback. “Matt who?” they asked? “Yeah, that kid from Boston College. Ok, I remember hearing something about him. Now we have to figure out how to stop the Falcon’s running game!” said the defensive coordinators of opposing teams. But that’s going to change in a

 Josh Freeman is an amazing physical specimen. 6′6″ 240 pounds. Awesome arm strength. Very good speed. Elusive. All that good stuff. But Freeman is 20 years old and coming out of Kansas State with a losing record overall, a very inconsistent performance, questionable leadership skills, and is more than likely going to disappear in the NFL – at least for a

 Quarterback Mathew Stafford is the second to make yet another questionable call by a junior quarterback to go to the NFL. Safford and former USC quarterback Mark Sanchez preclude their senior seasons and turn their careers toward the NFL. Stafford is projected to go high in the draft and is one of the top, if not the top QB in the 2009 NFL draft. But being the top quarterback in the draft and becoming a top NFL quarterback is two different things.
Stafford’s strongest trait is his personality – especially his likeability, mental toughness, and leadership qualities. He has always been well-liked by the coaching staff and his teamates. He is storied to be a great leader in the locker room, and his mental toughness and confidence have been evident throughout his career. And now he’s being projected as a possible first pick overall in the NFL draft. Many Detroit Lions

 Are you kidding me? After just one full year as a starter and a total of 16 starts as a college football quarterback, Mark Sanchez is going to enter the NFL draft. Does this sound like a good idea? Does it sound like he’s ready? Is this going to be yet another superstar college quarterback who quickly fades into obscurity in the NFL?
