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?

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By strato · Posted

      Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
