Terrelle Pryor had an absurd response to the idea of playing QB for the Browns

Published Nov. 15, 2016 2:11 p.m. ET

As you probably know, the Cleveland Browns are in a bit of a bind at quarterback. Robert Griffin III was injured in Week 1, and Josh McCown followed suit in Week 2. Now, Cleveland has to trust Cody Kessler as the Week 3 signal-caller, with Charlie Whitehurst waiting in the wings if things go wrong once more. It's not the greatest situation in the world.

Then again, there is another option. Browns WR Terrelle Pryor was an NFL QB until he switched positions upon joining Cleveland in 2015. And when asked if he'd consider playing under center if the Browns needed him, Pryor had a bonkers response (via Pro Football Talk):

Amputation is one thing; Pryor then went a step further:

At this rate, the Browns might need Pryor to adopt extreme measures to break their winless start to the season. For his career as an NFL QB, Pryor completed 170 of 302 attempts (56.3 percent) for 1,953 yards, 9 TDs, 12 INTs and a 69.3 quarterback rating. The Browns are 32 for 59 (54.2 percent completion percentage) for 450 yards, 2 TDs, 3INTs and a 69.2 quarterback rating so far this season, so one could argue that Pryor would actually be an upgrade.

As for Pryor the wide receiver, he's tallied 100 yards on six catches through the first two weeks. And if Pryor brings that kind of passion to everything he does on the football field, we can kind of understand why he got flagged for what looked like an undeserved taunting penalty in Cleveland's Week 2 loss to the Ravens.
