Edwards or Clausen: Who has better chance?

[top dawg]

Man, I have had my fill of Jimmy-sucks threads, and even more so the Edwards-is-a-bust threads, so I decided to provide a different angle.If you were a betting fan, which one would you say has the best chance of actually succeeding at his position in the NFL.

I know why Clausen haters hate Pickles, but I am of the mind that he wasn't put in the best situation to succeed and, thus, should get another opportunity to actually prove that he can be an NFL QB. As for Edwards, it seems to me that it is kind of premature to be calling him a bust and convicting the FO for making a seemingly dumb move (particularly in retrospect), because he really hasn't been on the field for any appreciable amount of time. In other words, we don't know what he can do.

I know people seem to forget (and it may seem like a joke), but Clausen has been groomed since childhood to be a pro QB and made great strides his sophomore year at Notre Dame, and Edwards is extremely athletic, and had an outstanding collegiate career (albeit Division I), including helping to take down Michigan. It may be optimistic in light of the past season, but I still have a wait and see attitude on both. I am just wondering what the Huddle thinks about who has the better opportunity to be a success in the pros. Put the hate on the back burner for a moment, and consider the answer.

Jimmy b/c he still gets to play his position. People hate the AE move cuz now its the 33rd pick, say if it were the 53rd, that wouldnt be as bad.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Tie! They'll both be nothing in the NFL.

How come "Snowball's chance in Hell" isn't a choice?

[Pimpdaddy]

Edwards is a QB. It will be interesting to see him compete for the position he played all his career. Moreso, it will be interesting to see someone credible, reputable and respectable evaluate him... I'll live with whatever decision, i just don't want it tainted bias and favoritism....

Who?

[Ricky Spanish]

armanti.

his passer rating was better than clausen's.

Armanti Edwards?:

Edwards was a college QB. It will be interesting to see him compete for the punt returner job.

Fixed.

Armanti is a Wide Reciever, not a QB. Jimmy is a QB. Alot of teams shuffle QB's around, but they still get their time to shine. Converted Wide Recievers on the other hand, keep the bench warm for the starters.

[Makish]

neither

[top dawg]

I purposefully left that out as an option.

Edwards. Clausen will at best be a career back-up. If they open up the offense here in Carolina, we could do alot of things with Armanti. In addition, have him one the legendary 6 wr set.

Armanti has crazy talent. Give him time to adjust and I think he has a better chance for success.

Jimmy has very pedestrian talent at this level and was more of a product of grooming/overachieving to get here.
