corncraze Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Terrelle Pryor is light years ahead of Robinson. Maybe Robinson will develop into a better quarterback, but as it sits now, Pryor is a legitimate all-round threat, a proven leader, and rarely puts his team into bad situations. Robinson is where Pryor was several seasons ago with all the question marks, relying solely on supreme athletic ability, and it cost Michigan greatly at times last season, much like our own QB situation. Pryor impressed the heck out of me last year with his maturation in the passing game. and druski's post makes a great point. Ya he is mature enough to be suspended 5 games... And yes Pryor is a stronger passer, but Robinson's running ability is far superior. Pryor is nowhere near as fast or agile as Robinson. Don't forget if Michigan actually had a defense and if Cam Newton didn't have the year he did, Robinson may very well have been the Heisman winner Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Can you be a "Top Returning Player" in the conference if you have never played in said conference? 24% of the top 25 and 40% of the top 5 are from Quote Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I think David is light years better than Crick. You may be right, but that's a bit like comparing apples and oranges, isn't it? Especially if this particular orange is 6'6" and weighs 300 lbs. Quote Link to comment

You may be right, but that's a bit like comparing apples and oranges, isn't it? Especially if this particular orange is 6'6" and weighs 300 lbs. haha, yes you are so right. When I think of impact players as far as the teams success goes, I would put David in front of Crick. On a NFL draft pick potential, I guess it depends on team needs, but I think David will go higher if he keeps up these numbers- Look what he did and Crick has been here what, 3 more years than him? IDK I might be wrong. *Edit* yes I said numbers- I regret it already, I should say impact. IDK, obviously the LB will always get the majority of tackles, but honestly- Crick could be better(Sorry I was spoiled with SUH) Quote Link to comment

It would take a catastrophic injury for Crick to drop below David in the draft. Quote Link to comment
Coqui Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I'm sorry, but D. Robinson > T. Pryor Is it the inability to take a real hit or the inability to pass that you like about him? Quote Link to comment
AngryHusker88 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Lavonte David > Terrelle Pryor Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Lavonte David > Terrelle Pryor Alex Henery > LaVonte David > Terrelle Pryor Since we're comparing such disparate positions, I thought I'd throw that in there. Quote Link to comment
Overland Park Husker Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Can you be a "Top Returning Player" in the conference if you have never played in said conference? Better question is can you be a "Top Returning Player" in the conference if you have never played one snap at any D-I school? Quote Link to comment

The Big Ten sucks, we should ROLL this conference for YEARS....and Bo is doing such a horrible job!!! We should fit in fairly nice and have a great chance to show what we are made of though!

knapplc Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 We should fit in fairly nice and have a great chance to show what we are made of though! Agreed. We'll definitely be competitive. Bo's defenses should keep us in games for the most part, and if Beck's offense can move the ball at all, we should have a chance to win every game. From there it'll boil down to coaching, individual efforts and the way the ball bounces. But I'm not looking at anyone in this conference and thinking, "We can't compete with these guys." That's a far cry from how I felt about the Big XII as recently as 2008. Quote Link to comment

kyle sibert Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Terrelle Pryor is light years ahead of Robinson. Maybe Robinson will develop into a better quarterback, but as it sits now, Pryor is a legitimate all-round threat, a proven leader, and rarely puts his team into bad situations. Robinson is where Pryor was several seasons ago with all the question marks, relying solely on supreme athletic ability, and it cost Michigan greatly at times last season, much like our own QB situation. Pryor impressed the heck out of me last year with his maturation in the passing game. and druski's post makes a great point. Ya he is mature enough to be suspended 5 games... And yes Pryor is a stronger passer, but Robinson's running ability is far superior. Pryor is nowhere near as fast or agile as Robinson. Don't forget if Michigan actually had a defense and if Cam Newton didn't have the year he did, Robinson may very well have been the Heisman winner While Robinson definitely is quicker and more agile than Pryor, I don't know if the same can be said about speed. In all honesty, if Pryor, Robinson, and Martinez were in a race, it might be a tie. In a 40 yard dash, Robinson might have Pryor, but in a 60 yard dash, Pryor probably has Robinson.

Are you watching the highlight tapes that I am?!?! Please explain to me how how a one man team consistently has these 60 yard runs, while Pryor does not? If Pryor is faster and more agile, and he has a better team around him, then why aren't we seeing 60 yard Pryor runs? Quote Link to comment
HotGrillonGrillAction Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Robinson is about as much a threat to throw as Rex. Totally disagree....Robinson is actually quite accurate... Plus - switch the guys to each others teams....and I think it's a no brainer that Pryor fails at MI...not sure if Robinson would do much better at OSU - but Pryor would fall f MHO only.
