Releasing Terrelle Pryor


I know that many of us are split on how we feel about Terrelle Pryor, I for one love the kid and what he stands for. He wasn't a bad apple much like some of the players that had exited earlier in the last two previous seasons. No, this was a kid who wanted the game! No matter how shady they were treating him during this so called deconstruction phase he stood tall and showed the Raider Nation he came to play and that he would do what it took to win at all cost! Now I can understand what the Raiders brass wants and that's fine with them, but what vexes me is for the past two years Mckenzie and Allen always said this team "lacked the necessary amount of talent it takes to compete in the NFL! " In come TP6 to breathe life into a team with no hope at the time and now we want to just let that talent walkaway......no! In my opinion it's still a bad move to let him go, reason being Matt Schaub is about to become an extremely short term answer. I think the real reason why Reggie Mckenzie is letting him go is because he can ill afford another season where TP2 upstages a quarterback that he brings in that he promised the starting job to! I know right now Pryor hasn't put it all together yet, but when he does and our QB's are still struggling as well.....we'll be sorry he ever left. Then later
