Last week, Edwards received the Bob Waters Male Athlete of the Year award by the Southern Conference. Edwards is no stranger to accolades as he became the first person in Football Championship Subdivision history to win the Walter Payton Award in back-to-back years. That award is given to the top performer in the FCS, much like the Heisman Trophy is given to the top athlete in the Football Bowl Subdivision as voted on by the media.

If not for the drafting of QB Tony Pike, the Panthers might have been able to save an extra roster spot by also using Edwards as their #3 QB. Often the Titans, Colts, and maybe a few other teams only carry 2 QB's on their 53 man roster (I prefer 3 QB's though, because it allows the team an extra emergency 46th player for the 45 man game day roster).

If Edwards were only 2 inches taller, then his future might still be at QB. I always described him (as a QB) as Michael Vick, with accuracy.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
