According to the Contra Costa Times, Terrelle Pryor's passes are still "too wobbly and off the mark" to be considered a legitimate threat for the Raiders' starting quarterback job.
Last preseason, we were taken aback a bit by Pryor's woeful accuracy and poor velocity on precision throws, although he can heave it downfield with some power. He's simply not an effective passer. While rookie Tyler Wilson has shined at OTA practices, Pryor has stumbled. Look for Matt Flynn and Wilson to make 2013 starts while Pryor operates as the third-stringer in a baseball cap.

Terrelle Pryor - QB - Raiders

Terrelle Pryor believes the Raiders' new braintrust is putting an emphasis on finding players with good character.

"We don’t want guys, like coach says all the time, we don’t want guys that are about women, fast cars, cars," Pryor said. "It’s all about competing, being a team player first and loving the game of football." It's a laudable sentiment, but teams that focus on character and only character tend to go nowhere fast. GM Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen deserve patience as they rebuild a broken roster, but they've had a questionable offseason, at best.

Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie said Monday that newly acquired Matt Flynn will compete with Terrelle Pryor for the team's starting quarterback job in camp.

There is "organizational skepticism" about Pryor's quarterback future, but it sounds like he'll at least split reps with Flynn. "We’re going to let him compete and battle, and see what happens," McKenzie said of Flynn. Although Flynn is the favorite, it's worth remembering that he couldn't beat out another athletic third-round pick in Seahawks camp last year. Russell Wilson is obviously miles ahead of Pryor -- he simply throws the football better -- but we'd stop short of markering Flynn into the Week 1 starter's job.

Terrelle Pryor - QB - Raiders

According to Yahoo's Mike Silver, there is "much organizational skepticism" about Raiders third-year QB Terrelle Pryor.

Pryor is big and athletic, but doesn't throw the football with velocity or accuracy -- and that's a big problem for NFL quarterbacks. In an in-depth Raiders column citing a variety of sources, Silver suggests the club may still keep Pryor around on an athletic quarterback depth chart that could potentially add free agent Vince Young and West Virginia's Geno Smith to a three-way training camp battle.

New OC Greg Olson said there will be packages for both Terrelle Pryor and Carson Palmer during offseason workouts.

Pryor's athletic skill set has at least piqued the interest of Olson and head coach Dennis Allen. They want to see if they can catch some of the rage that Robert Griffin III, Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson have started. "We don't really know quite yet what Terrelle Pryor can do at this level but we have a good feel for what he is athletically, so there will be packages for both of them to allow them to compete and we'll just be ready in either direction," Olson said. Palmer is owed $13 million in 2013 base salary.

Raiders head coach Dennis Allen confirmed there will be "some competition" at the quarterback position this summer.

"The more competition that you can create, the better your football team is going to be. We’re going to look at that as we’re moving forward, but I feel good about Carson [Palmer]. Terrelle [Pryor] did some nice things in the final game of the season last year, so it’ll be interesting to see how he does as we move forward," said Allen. This piggy-backs what GM Reggie McKenzie said on Tuesday. However, the expectation is that Palmer will be the Week 1 starter in 2013.

Terrelle Pryor - QB - Raiders

Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie says QB Terrelle Pryor will get a shot at the starting job in 2013.

The Raiders were hesitant to even let Pryor push Matt Leinart for No. 2 duties in 2012, so it's a bit of a surprise. That, coupled with Carson Palmer's massive cap number mean any camp competition is likely to be a token one, but it's encouraging the Raiders appear to be adopting a more open-minded approach on offense after former OC Greg Knapp's rigid system went nowhere fast. After a promising Week 17 spot start, Pryor's Dynasty stock is on the rise.

Raiders coach Dennis Allen reiterated that he came away impressed with Terrelle Pryor's Week 17 spot start.

"He’s obviously somebody that we’ve got to take account of and know that he’s a guy that can create things," said Allen, praising Pryor's athleticism and "playmaking" ability. "His presence on the field was what I thought impressed me the most. The game was not too big for him." Pryor completed 13-of-28 passes for 150 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against the Chargers, and ran nine times for 49 yards and a third score. He'll likely be Oakland's primary backup behind Carson Palmer in 2013.

Terrelle Pryor - QB - Raiders

Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said Terrelle Pryor "earned the chance for us to evaluate him some more" after he accounted for three touchdowns in Week 17 against the Chargers.

The regular season finale was Pryor's first career start and his first extensive action as an NFL quarterback. Oakland fell behind 24-7 due to poor special teams play, but the former Ohio State start brought the team back before ultimately falling short. Allen reiterated, though, that Pryor was auditioning as a potential 2013 backup, not starter.

Terrelle Pryor - QB - Raiders

Terrelle Pryor completed 13-of-28 passes for 150 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Raiders' 24-21 Week 17 loss to the Chargers.

The Raiders gave Pryor a "why not" chance and he responded reasonably well for a raw second-year man making his first career start. Oakland fell behind 10-0 and then 24-7 thanks to poor special teams play, but Pryor brought them back with his playmaking ability. He finished with nine rushes for 49 yards and a touchdown. Pryor certainly isn't the answer at quarterback, but he took strides toward securing the backup job in 2013. Matt Leinart is an impending free agent.

Terrelle Pryor - QB - Raiders

Coach Dennis Allen has named Terrelle Pryor the Raiders' starting quarterback for Week 17 against San Diego.

Matt Leinart will go back to the bench. It's the most sensible decision possible for a Raiders organization that has often struggled to make sensible decisions over the past decade. Pryor, 23, at least has an outside chance to be a 2013 contributor to Oakland's cause. Leinart does not. Pryor, who's played just eight offensive snaps to this point in his career, will square off Sunday versus a Chargers defense that ranks 18th against the pass and fourth versus the run.

Terrelle Pryor - QB - Raiders

According to Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune, Terrelle Pryor was set to take the initial first-team rep of Raiders practice Friday as the portion of the workout open to the media was closed.

The Raiders will travel to San Diego for each team's season finale, and it appears Pryor has a legitimate chance to start the game. Matt Leinart and Pryor split first-team quarterback reps throughout the week, but Pryor may have outplayed him on the practice field. To this point in his two-year career, Pryor has played a total of eight regular-season offensive snaps.

Terrelle Pryor and Matt Leinart split first-team reps in Raiders practice Wednesday.

Coach Dennis Allen said on Monday he didn't believe Pryor was ready to start, but has changed his tune. "We got a chance to see what Matt could do, and maybe it's time to see what Pryor can do." As long-time beat writer Jerry McDonald points out, perhaps it was because Allen has since broken down the film of Sunday's loss, where Leinart played abysmally. The 4-11 Raiders have nothing to lose by starting Pryor and getting a look at a player former owner Al Davis dubiously used a third-round pick on.

Coach Dennis Allen said he doesn't think Terrelle Pryor is ready to be a backup quarterback yet.

Even after Carson Palmer was knocked out with a rib injury, the 4-11 Raiders turned to Matt Leinart. "Terrelle's done a nice job. He's working extremely hard. We don't feel like he's ready to be the backup quarterback yet, and we feel like Matt would give us the best chance," Allen said.

Terrelle Pryor - QB - Raiders

The Raiders aren't planning to give back-up QB Terrelle Pryor an "extensive look" in Sunday's game against the Panthers.

The Raiders' season has been over practically since it started, but they're in no hurry to evaluate their 23-year-old backup. Pryor has played just four snaps all year. His future isn't looking particularly bright, especially under run-obsessed OC Greg Knapp.
