I'm glad he's gone. His bullshit had gotten old. Sure, he could bulldoze college linebackers but I'd love to see him try to stiff arm RayRay or AJ Hawk.

You say that as if it is a bad thing... :wacko:

I'm not going to get into one your bullshit running arguments about your shitty little league. I don't feel like it.

I think Pryor's talent level will fit the CFL much better than the NFL.  He would make a lot less money per year in the minors, but his career would be longer because he would be one of the most talented and skilled players in his league, rather than one of the least.  I think that, in general, CFL football rewards the kinds of skills the typical successful college QB develops much more than the NFL does.

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I'm not sure I agree with that.

For starters, the CFL is still a highly skilled league, with only 8 teams (and thus 8 starting QB jobs).  Thus every year we get former hot shot college QBs coming up here who get cut, or who stick around a few years as the third string QB.  It's still pretty hard to be 'one of the most talented and skilled players in his league'.

Plus, size and 'athleticism' tend to be far less important in the CFL.  This isn't a league with a lot of option plays.  Rather, it's heavily pro-passing league.  With a significantly wider field it's even more improtant than in the US to have a strong arm.  I don't think that's exactly Terrelle Pryor's game (but I don't know if I ever watched an Ohio State game he played in).

And I'm going to ignroe you calling the CFL a "minor league" as a fairly obvious troll.   :bowler:

I'd say 'semi-pro'.

And yes, Pryor can gun the ball. I'd just check the tattoo parlors for a grey cup if he is on the winning team.

It helps make the games affordable.

You can buy an end zone season ticket for $165 in Winnipeg.  I don't think you can even bug a single ticket for an NFL game at that price. :punk:

You know what else if affordable?

AAA baseball tickets.

Yeah I am puzzled by BB's claim the CFL is not a minor league.

The four major leagues are MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL.  Surely he does not believe the CFL belongs with them?
