It seems like he will be vying for playing time between AJ Hawk and Desmond Bishop. For all you App haters saying there's no player from App who will or can make it. There's your example

what does this have to do with Armanti?

App State is not a real football school. Everyone knows that except App students/grads.

Congrats on sending a marginal LB to the NFL. I wonder how his career would look right now if a team like the Raiders drafted him.

For every marginal, spot starter at a non-skill position in the NFL, there's guys like Dexter Jackson, Mark Dupree, Corey Lynch, and the soon to be unemployed Armanti Edwards.

App State fans, and I am being 110% honest here (PS and I hate Duke), are the most delusional/dumbest fan base in NC. Period. I still remember reading those AppState threads about how Armanti needed to start at QB last year.

One more thing:

I get a kick out of my friends who went to AppState (and I have quite a few) start getting excited about maybe moving up to real college FB, D1.

That would be the most idiotic thing App FB could do. They would change over night from a yearly D1AA NC contender to a team that would be lucky to muster up 6 wins and a bid to a bowl game no one watches or cares about.

Sept 1- App State @ ECU

both teams in a rebuilding mode and I bet the Pirates win by at least 2 touchdowns at the Rowdy Dowdy.

No. I was pulling for app that game. I hate the big10. My gf and her family all went to Ohio state and I can assure you that the B10 fan base consists of delusional morons stuck living in the past - AppState would fit in nicely with them.

I love how in 2005 everybody was "Good job, App!" when they won championship one and now they are loathed like this.

If we are truly an irrelevant school, as you say, why so much hate? I have no qualms with ECU. I respect ECU for what they have accomplished considering that they are a 5th FBS school in the state.

The only thing worse on this board than App homers are the ones so fed up with them in the first place. Heck, I've realized for awhile now that the AE experiment has failed. That doesn't make his accomplishments in college any less important.

Am I not allowed to be proud of my school because they are "not real" football?

      We were bad for years before Bryce Young and it wasn’t like this. I didn’t like the Rhule hire, but I didn’t drag the board down every chance I got. I didn’t like letting Cam go and bringing in Teddy, but I didn’t make it my mission in life to make sure everybody who disagreed with me was berated into submission.

      it's pretty simple IMO.  The Tepper Panthers are the most unsuccessful professional sports team in all of sports.  The problem isn't the posters here have changed ( I still content people falsely romanticize the old days).  The product dictates the atmosphere more than anything.  In reality, the daily convos about THE worst team in all of pro sports on a fanatics site....is going to feature harsh and critical convo.  Only one entity can actually change that.  It's the Carolina Panthers football team.  if you are the most unsuccessful professional sports teams (Tepper's Panthers are that).....and a place like this isn't filled with very critical thoughts? Well, you probably don't actually have a real fanbase IMO.

      Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.
