ESPN Analyst Jon Gruden Says Terrelle Pryor Has "Rare Talent"

Discussion in 'NFL General Discussion' started by BigBlueBruiser, Jun 25, 2011.

  1. Former Buccaneers coach and current ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Jon Gruden commented that former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor has "rare talent." “You can’t be more impressed with the guy physically,†Gruden told WDTN at a University of Dayton golf event in Centerville, Ohio, “He’s all of six-foot-five, he’s 235 pounds. He’s a double threat. He’s one of those guys that can be a terror to defenses. He’s got some work to do, fundamentally. He knows that." "The object of these shows is not to try to uncover every negative thing that exists," Gruden added. "I don’t really know the exactness of what happened at Ohio State. But I do know that Pryor is disgusted and feels terrible about what has occurred. At the same time, he just turned 22 years old on Monday. He gotta move on with his life."

    I hate the fact that Jon Gruden is perceived as the "All Knowing QB Guru." HATE it...

    This^^

    I don't get that Gruden says Pryor has 'rare talent' and just speaks to his physical prowess and needs to work on fundamentals. It's evident that Gruden likes Jamarc....I mean, Terrell.

    Wasn't the same thing said about Kordell Stewart? He had a rare talent also, which come to find out was how much he liked little boys!!

    I listen to him he really does sound dumb as heck!! I mean it's obvious education wasn't very important to him or his family growing up. Also the Heisman canadite comment was a little far fetched. He would have never won it.

    Gruden never met a quarterback he didn't want to blow. He makes that face. You know the one when he scrunches up his face. Looks like he is passing a huge growler. but it is going in not out

    Jon Gruden knows QB's like I know diets, We both know the best ones but when it comes to getting to the goal, we don't know how to get there.

    It wouldn't be so bad if he was discriminating between good ones and bad ones. To hear him talk there is no bad quarterback and all of them are beasts.I have never heard him say that a particular qb has average speed or velocity. I know he has to talk it up because it is on tv but enough is enough. Stop riding Tony Dungy's coattails.

    It makes me second guess Gruden's praise of Jake Locker even more.

    Hes got the same "rare talents" as Mike Vick. Except Vick was better at it.
