College: If you were Terrell Pryor's advisor.....

[Dyoshot]

What would you tell him to do? He's obviously deep in this scandal and has to miss six games next year. Would you tell him to come back or go into the supplemental draft?

[Sporkdevil]

Good question. I'd take a late round flyer on him as a tight end. Best he could do for himself would be to go back and dedicate himself as a QB, and see if anyone (Raiders) take a chance on a tall dude with crazy speed and questionable accuracy.

Supplemental draft.

I don't know what I would tell him, but I don't know if any NFL teams will draft him. He has a shitty, me first attitude, he's not a good QB, makes tons of bad decisions, the list goes on. With the lockout pending he won't do a team any good, it's not like he can come in and be given a playbook, which he wouldn't read anyways.

Sounds like Mallett without the on the field talent.

No, Mallett with different talents. He has skills, but he's just a dumbass.

I would tell him to transfer to a 1-AA school and try to slip into the league that way, a la Rhett Bomar. Only chance for him to try to be a QB.(I think he'll end up suspended all year) If he goes into the supp. draft, it would have to be as a "project" due to supply and demand.

Not a bad idea, a reverse Cam Newton. Go to I-AA and win a championship, which he won't get at OSU.

I agree. In my opinion, this is what I would tell him to do. People have already formed a bad opinion of him. He is not going to change any other those opinions by not playing. If he goes into the Supplemental draft he will not be a high draft pick. I'm guessing 4th-6th. If he's not banned, he needs to play college ball. I'm curious though, can he still go to a I-AA school if he is banned by the NCAA?

I doubt it. If he loses his amateur status he'll have no choice but to go pro. I've seen speculation he would drop as low as the 5th round in the supplemental draft, and alot of people think he's a WR at the next level. I don't see that, but I don't see him being a good QB either. I dunno.
