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

At least I agree with three teams in your Sig. I don't really have a favorite team in the Pac10 but I like when someone dominates so they can go knock of the "big boys" in the other conferences. Hopefully it's Oregon this year. Ridiculous how so many SEC teams can be ranked and they are so bad.

You lose close (and not so close) games every year. You know why? Because both NC State football and basketball is one big annual joke. You're not good at anything, and you haven't been since Jimmy V had a pulse. You won't be good at anything anytime soon, either. Once Wilson leaves, you'll go back to the bottom half of the already horrible ACC until O'Brien gets fired and they bring in the next mediocre coach. This exact same thing will happen in basketball as well, except maybe that guy won't be famous for nothing more than having ugly blazers and getting waxed by legitimate programs each and every week.

The fact that you're arguing against an FCS school (and losing) about who has a better program should give you a general idea of how far NC State athletics has fallen.

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. 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. You can and never will compete for the same prospects with schools like UNC, NCSU, and ECU which is why you play 1 real game a year and sometimes you win (Michigan) and all the rest you lose.

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. I love this.

He gets a fair shake week in and week out in practice and yet still cannot manage to suit up on game days.

You can trust anything this coaching staff does? We had to put up with Jarrett for 3 years and change.

Honestly, at this point, what does putting the kid and seeing what happens change the outcome of the this turd of a season?

If the Front office wanted to fill more of the seats for games, they would take this approach. He is a local hero around these parts and would draw them more tickets with him starting. Given the approach of Richardson this season I see this as a reality.

I'm sick of reading about his height and not being able to see over the line, You use him like Flutie was used. Roll him out and take advantage of his mobility. Of course this would require more than a cadaver at Head Coach.

I have seen him handle snaps under center during the 2007 season when Kevin Richardson was still the runningback. One game that comes to memory was vs James Madison, which they won and was one of the best games I've ever attended on any level of ball on atmosphere and competition.

He wasn't going to be picked LATER as a ALLfor most other teams. A team with actual intelligence would already have him with a full wildcat formation.

Fixed for you.

Also, AE is no where near fast or shift enough for the wildcat. I would rather see Smitty or Deangelo back there.

    • That depends on where he's at because if you look at his first 3 seasons before he got sick he had 49 rec as a rookie followed by 56 and then his pro bowl season he had 103 rec. If he's somewhere between seasons 2 and 3 then that wouldn't be bad at all. We'll have to wait and see but from the few clips I've seen and the comments I've heard and read I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. Personally, I'm really pulling for him and I think he's going to be the comeback player of the year. 
    • More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?
