cd, Cam as of right now is the better passer, but Pryor when it comes to pure talent NOBODY in the NFL is close to him!! Its up to the Raiders to develop him.. And if they do look out cuz he would be one badazz dude!! Again we are rebuilding, and if we do beat you and the REFS Monday night, what does that about the team you cheer for?? Hmmmm.. The Raiders got SPEED on D as well and they will be up for it!! Again worry about the LT and PM choking in big games!! Got to roll be back later for more talk..
Whoa whoa whoa let us calm down here for a second. Now I know everybody is a homer for their own team but if Pryor was that talented he isn't a 4th or 5th round pick in the Supplemental draft. The guy would be a 1st round talent easy if he had that much talent. Maybe this boils down to our definitions of Talent but mine at least for an NFL player is how do they match up overall to those players especially at their position. He might be one of the fastest (I think there might be a couple faster) quarterbacks and a good runner (don't think he is the best overall runner for a quarterback) but when you include throwing, leadership, and being able to read defenses he is nowhere near the top for talent at the quarterback position at least yet. Maybe he can get there but running quarterbacks do not survive long in this league unless they learn to throw more than looking to run.
IF the Raiders win and that is a huge IF in my opinion then it would show the Broncos have a lot to work on as a team but then again it would not be time to hit the panic button just quite yet. So far this season the Broncos have been without their two best players on defense so both of them should be coming back shortly to help out a defense that has actually looked pretty decent so far already without them. Offensively it might take a bit to adjust to life without Clady but there again the Broncos have been missing their best all-around TE in Dreessen all year with a knee injury and he is expected back this week or next so again I can see that definitely helping. We also have 2 young backs that should improve as the season goes on so again it wouldn't be time to hit the panic button but in all honesty the Raiders would need some major help in this one to pull out a win. Not saying it can't happen but they would definitely need some help with some ill-timed turnovers or something of that nature.
Also not sure how this is a big game other than it being a Monday night game and if that is what you are talking about then maybe you should get your facts straight on Peyton playing on Monday night. He has an 11-3 record on Monday Night Football and has had a 99.1 quarterback rating in those games.
