Terrelle Pryor has played catch up over the past year after he missed most of training camp and the first five regular season games last season.

Pryor is learning from Carson Palmer the nuances of the quarterback position.

"The suspension really screwed me," Pryor said. "The way I came out of college and my mistakes screwed me. But right now, I'm in a good place because I'm learning from the best and I'm only going to get better, a lot better. If I can just keep on figuring out this progression thing and having my internal clock running with my feet, I can be good. I can be great."

Dennis Allen and Greg Knapp have been complimentary of Pryor's work ethic and skill set.

"Do I think I'm Carson? No," Pryor said. "I want to be that quarterback that can run, too, and be like Carson with his feet. His feet are great. That's what 10 years, 11 years, does for you. If I can get that down from working with him, I can be dangerous."

Palmer has enjoyed working with Pryor.

"We have a really good (quarterback) room, especially with Terrelle in there, another young guy just chomping at the bit for his shot," Palmer said. "There's a lot of competition, but it's a good friendly competition because we're helping each other along the way."
