Here's hoping Edwards gets a start at QB this year

Sorry I'm actually a fan of all the athletes that play in our city and don't root for them to fail.

I root for all of them in my city as well. Along with a team that isn't in my city.

What's your Avatar? A future Bojangles commercial?

It's a post game presser. It's a joke for the Moore haters.

Stop being ignorant' date=' none of the Panthers fans on this board want him to fail....[/quote']

True, I hope he gets his stuff together and becomes a legit NFL receiver. Thats the best case scenario.

But realistically, he is the only rookie WR unable to see the field. Chances of that happening are lower after each passing week.

Says the guy who cheers for Nebraska because deep down he knows cheering for App State is like cheering for a High School football program.

I root for Nebraska because I always have, and App because I went to school there. Also, winning makes it fun, but it would be hard for me to communicate that to you what that's like since we obviously don't have that shared experience.

You want the legitimacy that comes from playing with the big boys. But you and I both know that if App ever moved up they would disappear from the football spotlight forever. They won't turn into Boise which has a fertile recruiting location. You'd turn into Marshall.

Which still would instantly be better than NC State, a school who has dumped more money than they should have into a program that is honestly good for nothing else than tailgating. You're not even the best football program in your own area code. What Wake Forest has done is infinitely more impressive than what NC State year after year fails to do: be relevant. The two most memorable things about NC State football this past decade: you won the Meineke Car Care Bowl and someone got shot at a tailgate.

You can and never will compete for the same prospects with schools like UNC, NCSU, and ECU .
Oh yeah, those top 50 recruiting classes you guys are racking up every year. That's insurmountable for a school with a better campus, more playing opportunities and a better system, plus proven success. Yeah, those three schools you mentioned really cornered the market on that.

which is why you play 1 real game a year and sometimes you win (Michigan) and all the rest you lose.

Still greater than anything NC State has accomplished in a century. Literally 100 years of nothing important, unless you count losing to Akron at home.

I am not arguing about who has a better program. That would be silly of me. I just try and show some realism to the delusional thinking that makes up 95% of App fans.

It would be silly, because you would actually have to have something to show to make your case. There's no question we have the better program. Know why? We beat the people in our league. Only one of us can say that. We have championships. Only one of us can say that. We don't poo the bed in big games. Only one of us can say that. We don't wish we weren't UNC's little brother. Only one of us can say that.

If we need someone to make sense of it all, why would we ask the one guy who knows less than everyone else? I mean, when I need advice, I tend to gravitate towards the people that aren't making it up from watching other successful people.

I think you'd be surprised at the amount of FCS players in the NFL.

Not really, I know there's legit FCS players in the NFL. Many of them were transfers from FBS schools but there are some that started at FCS. There's a much longer list of FCS players not in the NFL, and I don't even need to look to know the percentage of FCS players in the NFL to FBS players in the NFL isn't even close....

There are plenty of FCS players in the league. Armanti is the greatest FCS player of all time. Hello? :confused:
