Not bad. He will be in the NFL with someone that needs a traditional pocket passer that can see over a tall o-line and the type offence that wants to run first and control game tempo with the threat of the deep ball. Keep in mind that only 96 QB positions are available and he is being considerd. All of you saying he is no good. What do you do for a living if working and how many of those positions are there available in this world. Back off Todd he is a class act and should be someone you should tell your kids, see how he won't give up and still keeps his head up. Even with all you fools bad mouthing him. Iam related to him and know him pretty well. You wouldn't say these things to his face, I know that for a fact. Good luck Todd! I see that you suffer from a case of nepotism. You should be proud of Todd, however, you are still wrong, he didn't get "screwed" by anyone but himself. You said it yourself--"The season ended as it would have with either QB starting." Todd's marketability would have been just as low if he had QB the entire season. As far as I can tell no one has questioned his character--just whether or not he is NFL material.

So Valdese... A more experience qb should get sacked less? probably not...especially when TP is known for being MOBILE? hahahaha yeah right... As far as the "brians" being the problem...they are both in the NFL and both were great college wideouts...so it wasn't there problem.. The fact is..that todd lacks mobility plan and simple...if he improves he would be a solid nfl quarterback

I'm African-American and feel Boeckman got a raw deal last season. You think I would've been happy for Pryor seeing how he's black but I wasn't. Boeckman clearly had the better arm. Instead of making the O-line do a better job they just stuck Pryor in there because he could run when the heat was on. I saw this years spring game and it was good to see Pryor throw the ball better but that doesn't make up for what they did to Boeckman. The O-line's bad play ruined Boeckman's possible Pro career. I also feel Hartline and Robiskie would have done better in the draft if Boeckman was the Starter too. Come on I know I'm not the only one who feels this. I don't remember any of the O-line getting drafted do you?

Old Buckeye yes the O-line sucked. You had to be Stevie Wonder not to see that. Actually Warren Moon was the best pure passer in the Modern era. Which brings me to another Subject. The Pro Football Hall Of Fame should be renamed the NFL Hall Of Fame. If they're not going include players and/or stats of players from another pro league then they should change the name.

If you remember your the one the pointed out how many times T.B. and Pryor were sacked. YOU seemed to think that those stats were significant to your argument. As far as stats go Pryor was only sacked 4 more times then T.B. It doesn't really matter whether or not a more experienced qb should get sacked less, what matters is, if T.B. was getting the job done then Tressel wouldn't have pulled him and put in T.P. It is as simple as that.

NFL? He was scared in college. Nfl can watch three clips and laugh at this guy even more than they do with his slow down-back-and up baseball delivery which at his size still delivers very limited arm strength. Those thre clips: the loss to Ilinois he busts a long run and with a blocker ahead to help shield from a remaining tackler layed it down, against LSU in title game on drive two up 7-0 and chance to punch in and go up by two TD's he's flushed from the pocket at about the 5 yard line and realizes there will be contact at about the goalline with a defender who is a DB he's much bigger than, instead Boeckman again desides to lay it down to avoid contact and avoid jumping out to a early 14-0 lead and quitting a loud home LSU crowd, later in the same game he busts another long run and again with blockers playing to the whistle he doesn't and lays down AGAIN. No one can follow or be led by a wimp.

What you said about this season ending the same way, how can you say that? You don't know for sure. Todd did a great job in Fiesta Bowl maybe if he would have started maybe OSU would have won. No one knows for sure.

If your insinuating in any way shape or form that Todd is a wimp then you have BUG issues!!! Let's see you try to play in the NFL if you think you know everything that it takes. I wish people would just shut their mouths and quit criticizing Todd. I know that Todd is good enough to play football at any level he wants to. And even if he doesn't what you people call succeed in football. I know he'll do great in whatever he chooses to do with his life. Good Luck Todd!!

Damb and I was ready to see a buckeye stand on the sideline of the jags. Oh well if he would have played the crappy jag o line would have gotten him killed again. Ala Troy Smith in the 06 NC game. Beleive me the gator fans here would have booed Todd worse than our own buckeye fans. Good luck Todd your a good person and something good will come your way.
