  How so.....Pryor is a good QB.....and just because he doesn't throw great does not mean he is not a good QB and one of the Top 3 at his position......He is a dual threat QB

  I disagree.....He made plays all year....

  Tiger how about we agree on this. You and your fellow "realistic" buckeye fans can say Pryor is a top 3 quarterback and whatever else you want to believe. Fans from every other team in the country who are on this site will respectfully disagree.

  Connecting with Jenkins on 4th and 14 in the Fiesta Bowl wasnt that bad either.

  Agree.....but is passing the only thing that makes a QB good and be a top 3 QB?

  Thank you....Oh he was the leading rusher in that game to.....also I remember a scramble he made to give the Buckeyes the go ahead TD vs Cincy.

  Was he a play maker, or an average QB playing with a great defense behind him and a beast of a RB?

  No but when your passing ability ranks you near the bottom of the Big Ten, it doesn't matter how good of a runner you are. You are not an elite quarterback. Elite athlete yes, QB not a chance.
• Tiger2003

  

  I think he was a Good QB......with a great defense....that beast of a running back was not there all year long....and they still won.
• CinciX12

  

  I dont think we are all on the same page.
  
  Yes, Pryor did do better towards the end of the season, but that was largely IMO because of the knee injury making him hesitant to run all the time. With a healthy knee I think he regresses a little bit because he will be more comfortable taking off.

  He had a couple huge plays in the game up in Madison as well. Krenzel wasnt a great player but to say the guy only made one play is just plain stupid

  Lol If you really think Krenzel is better then everyone i named then Idk what to tell you honestly. Since the BCS, id venture to say he has had the worst stats of a starting QB to win the title. I may be wrong, but I bet hes either worst, or 2nd worst. And easily has worse stats then everyone I listed.
  
  
  
  Hes an average QB who played on a GREAT team

  Ohio State: was last in Passing Attempts, Threw the 2nd fewest INT, T5 Passing TD.... So yah the yard won't be there.

  The quarterback is the leader of the team.....and he was clutch under pressure.....He was a good qb on a great team that won a National Title against Miami and it wasn't even supposed to be a game.

  Passing efficiency is what I was going by. That takes more into account than yards. If you are using the passing attempts argument, that also means the opportunities for INT would be less which would explain the second fewest INTs. 18 TD vs 11 INTs. He was 8th out of 10 ranked in the passing rankings (minnesota's QB was not ranked at all). Freshman Tate Forcier and the QB from INDIANA were the only two ranked lower. Good try Mr. Realistic.

  I would say you are right. Krenzel's stats that year have to be the worst of any starting QB to win a BCS championship.
  
  Saying Krenzel was average that year might be giving him too much credit. They won with their defense and some very good fortune.

  Mr Realistic you are right...I am.....After the Purdue game....Pryor really started playing like a 5 star qb should. 8 Td to 3 ints......He has made great improvement.....and I am sticking to my Top 3 QB ranking.

  Do you have McElroy as your #1 qb? Above average stats with a 14-0 record.
• dat dude

  Pryor isn't a top 3 QB in the traditional sense, no way. He is, however, a top 3 candidate for the Heisman Trophy.

  1. McElroy is number 1 why wouldn't he be....he wins games....he doesn't make mistakes and always give his team a chance to win the game.

  I didn't realize football became an individual sport. I guess it makes sense then that Krenzel was the best QB in 2002. "Mr. Realistic" LOL
