Your hatred for all things Buckeye is clouding your judgement on the Pryor issue. Pryor can take a year to learn at OSU without expectations of being the man -- taking all of the pressure off of him at first (a la Tebow). And, then he can play in a system that is as dynamic and changes in accordance with the talent as any system in America. Look at the multiple offenses OSU has run in the past 5 years, from Krenzel (year 1 and year 2) to Smith to Boeckman. Tressel will create an offense that fits his talent base, not cram players into a system. So Pryor will have the chance to prove what he said all along -- that he is, like Vince Young, a passing quarterback who can run, and not an athlete turned QB.

And, look at the success of that system -- Troy Smith won a Heisman, and has already won more games as an NFL QB than Dennis Dixon or any RichRod QB from WVU ever will.
