Pryor only remained in the game for three offensive snaps, and the first and only pass he attempted was in the dirt. That didn't stop Twitter from blowing up over Pryor's debut. Pryor, the man from Ohio State who the Raiders selected in the Supplemental Draft, may or may not be the answer under center for the Raiders. Let's take a look at how the Twitter world reacted.

The Oakland A's were not going to be the biggest players in free agency this winter. So far, they have made a nice move to acquire Chris Young, but mostly the status quo remains in effect. A lot of that is due in part because of the fact that the majority of the major parts are locked up and young (Anderson, Cespedes, Reddick and Parker).But that does not mean the A's don't have the potential to make roster moves in 2013. However, the chances appear greater that those moves will be within the organization. There are a likely trio of ...
The Oakland Raiders should explore their options in the trade market with star running back Darren McFadden during the offseason because of his inability to stay on the field consistently.He is listed as probable for Week 15 (via ESPN) after suffering an injury last week against the Denver Broncos, but McFadden has not been a reliable player this season because of injuries, and this is unlikely to change moving forward.McFadden has played in just nine of the Raiders' 13 games this season, and over his entire career, he has missed 23 games in four-plus seasons.He was leading the NFL in ...

As a fantasy football owner who has been riding the King Carson wave of production for the past couple of months, please allow me to be the first to tell you something: this is the week to bench him.Now before you cry foul, point to the dreadful opponent (the Chiefs) and stick your feet in the ground, please consider the following:Player A: 238 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interception per gamePlayer B: 309 yards, 1.6 touchdowns, 1 interception per gamePlayer C: 209 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interception per gameIn an ideal world, which of those three quarterbacks would you want starting ...
The Oakland Raiders (3-10) and the Kansas City Chiefs (2-11) are the scourge of the AFC West. Why stop there? Both teams have been walked all over in 2012. Let's call it like we see it.Offensively, the Chiefs have been atrocious this season. Factor in the team losing Dwayne Bowe this week and things could get ugly. That isn't a testament to the prowess of the equally struggling Oakland Raiders defense, either.When two teams are struggling as badly as they are, they tend to come out and play inspired football down the stretch. It says a lot about the character of a ...
