Armanti Edwards named SoCon Athlete of the Year

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.

    • It's definitely a historical issue at QB but to be perfectly blunt, we also don't do a good job of really developing almost any position if you look at the last decade or so. I tend to be on the side of that being far less a development issue than an evaluation deficiency.  I think we are in the situation at QB2/3 recently due to the overall roster being absolutely abhorrent and the QB classes being quite thin. It is harder to justify another Matt Corral(or several) when you can potentially get a real two deep contributor at other positions.  But, it was a lot of hard work to get to the point where are roster is so incredibly bad that luxury picks literally are not in our vocabulary.  This is the reaping what you sow portion of our history.
    • That is what I meant about our front office. They are like someone filling out a March Madness bracket based on preference of uniform colors and mascots. There's no rhyme of reason to some of these fugg'n mind numbing decisions they make.  They go all in on these flimsy-@ss prospects and are gun shy when it comes to more solid prospects.  It's literally maddening and the reason I stopped being so emotionally involved in this team. Heck the only reason I'm active on the board today is one, it's my day off and two, it's cut down time.
