Getty ImagesWith Raiders G.M. Reggie McKenzie telling Pro Football Talk at the Scouting Combine that a competition will occur for the starting quarterback job, this means that third-year backup Terrelle Pryor has a shot at winning the gig.
Pryor told Pro Football Talk on Wednesday that he?ll be ready to go if/when he gets the opportunity to start.? At this point, though, he?s focused on building credibility within the organization.
?Right now I?m trying to win over my coaches, win over my teammates and everybody in the facility and let them know that I wanna be a leader, a great leader and I?m there for the long haul and I wanna win just as bad as everybody else and that?s what I want to prove to everybody before I really get into talks of starting and stuff like that,? Pryor told Erik Kuselias.
Pryor stopped short of declaring himself to be the best quarterback currently on the roster.
?I don?t really wanna give comparisons or anything like that because Carson [Palmer] does a great job of what he does, and I can also play too and do some things well too,? Pryor said.? ?So I can?t down talk him because he?s a great QB to me and I just wanna stay on my side of seeing what I have to do to get better every single day and that?s where I?m at right now. ?
Still, with the trend toward mobile quarterbacks, Pryor knows he brings the ability to move to the table.
?I feel like I can extend plays and . . . you don?t know what your gonna get from me as a QB from a defensive perspective,? Pryor said.? ?They don?t know exactly if I?m gonna run the ball or can I hold onto the ball a little bit and add a little extra time to get a receiver open where I can do a three-step drop and throw the ball in time.? I feel like I can extend plays well and I?m so fast and I believe in my speed and I can get around and wait for guys to get open as well.?
How fast does Pryor think he is in comparison to other quarterbacks?? He thinks he?s do pretty well in a race against all of them.
?I believe, now don?t take this the wrong way this is just me believing in my speed and power and my legs, I believe I?d be second behind Michael Vick,? Pryor said.? ?No one else would beat me.?
We have a feeling that a few Redskins fans may have something to say about that.
