Its time people, its time.

I don't give a crap about a 5-11 frame...Look at his combine info: He's got longer arms and bigger hands than any of our qb's. (I highly doubt he would have let that handoff slip threw his hands)...His arm length and high release will at least get the ball over the line 10x better than Clausen's side arm throw.

And since our o-line decided to suck this year and our receivers take too long to get open, a mobile qb such as Edwards can at least scramble for a gain of yards or create time for our receivers to get open.

I can assure you Edwards would have thrown that ball much earlier and on target to Lafell in the endzone... I don't know if I linked this youtube clip correctly, but if not, just type in "Armanti Edwards pass against wofford" and you will all see what I mean. That is all, have a good week.

I don't disagree giving him more reps in the Wildcat, but he can't be our full-time qb

Why not give him a shot this year since we are just rotating QB's in and out? i mean seriously, what is it going to hurt at this point? let him come in some plays like they were doing with vick/kolb in the first game or two in philly. Who knows maybe this guy has serious skill we will never discover. Now is as good a time as any to try him out or at least some point in this season since the team is looking so pathetic anyhow.

You take a QB out of the game to bring in an obvious package for another player then not only do you give up what you're doing, you also take away any chance of rhythm for your usual QB. Once Miami figured that out they got more consistent on offense.

      XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.

      Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.

      Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
