You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.
It looks like noodle-arm Matt Flynn dug himself a black hole so deep that it resulted in a promotion for Terrell Pryor.
Now maybe Terrell Pryor is a very very very low end QB2. And while it may seem like a more secure move to add a Josh Freeman, Sam Bradford, Schaub or Rivers to fill a backup spot - what harm could it do to take a late round flyer on Pryor? Or even add him as a FA?
Hear me out.
We already know what most QB2 can do. Some look to have a better upside this season (like Bradford). But based on some of the projections, most QB2 seem more poised to just climb higher within the QB2 rankings. Very few of them seem to be challenging to actually crack into the QB1 tier.
So why not take a flyer on Pryor?
He has mobility (rushing yardage) and you know that the Raiders will be trailing in most every game and will need to throw (passing yardage).
Is this a crazy idea?
