FSU's defense is insanely fast and the wake defense won't be a slouch either.

9/20/2008 10:30:06 PM

and I don't think we win either of those two games. I think we have 4-5 winnable games left on the schedule though

9/20/2008 10:30:58 PM

Suddenly, the team picked to finish at the bottom of their division, has like 8 starters out (maybe now Nate), has USF, Miami, UNC, BC, and UMD as winnable games all of a sudden?

We looked real good today, but ECUs D doesn't have anywhere near the speed that those above have. Our line won't be able to hold the rush or create the holes, and Wilson isn't going to be able to scramble nearly as effectively against that lineup.

Please, come back to reality. With no more major injuries, we'll get to 5 games and we should be happy with that.

9/20/2008 10:47:54 PM

BC, Duke now pick 2 more out of the remaining 6. of course all of this is contingent on our o-line play getting better week to week, and no major injuries

lol seriously? FSU has an awesome defense and so does Wake Forest. South Florida has a good defensive line but I'd rank them right about with Ecu's defense, which isn't bad either.

Also, anybody have our record in Kenan Stadium in the last 8 years.

9/20/2008 11:09:20 PM

Yeah dudes, lets just be happy we can still beat ECU. Anything more will be a bonus.

9/20/2008 11:28:35 PM

I'm not saying we're going to win anymore games I'm just saying the offense won't face a monster like clemson or sc anymore. Sure there are other good ds but none of the ds we will face come anywhere close to those 2. FSU is fast and talented but they play man to man and just rush the qb. So easy a evans can do it... A disciplined zone d like wake is much more of a threat to our o. Miami d will be a threat but our o is much the same as yours. The rest of the games will be up to the defense to win (or of course turnovers) but they won't be from complete lack of production like the first tano were.

9/20/2008 11:33:53 PM

Clemson was giving up over 400 yards per game until the played us... just quit while you're ahead man.

dude, our oline play is FINE. stop making the oline a scapegoat, they are doing a totally serviceable job.

9/21/2008 1:04:14 AM

Here's the deal: D Evans' "breakout" game against BC doesn't even come close to this game for RW in terms of intensity of the win (if you compare expectations to results), nor for potential for promise in the QB. Anybody who knows anything about football will rep to that.

It's one game. We all realize that...but nobody can play more than one game at a time.

I was thinking today... it kind of sucks for Glennon because he was touted as the savior, but there's NO way you can take the starting job away from Wilson

11/22/2008 4:10:56 PM

DEAR RECRUITS!

WE HAVE THIS QB FOR 3 MORE YEARS!!!!!!1

(assuming he doesnt leave early for the MLB or NFL)

COME PLAY AT STATE!

11/22/2008 4:12:42 PM

Yeah, I don't think any of us had any clue Russell would be this good.

11/22/2008 4:12:54 PM

yeah my Mom was like, was this guy supposed to be good

and I was saying during the red-white game.. it was pretty much well we have Evans & Beck who are both sucky, a good freshman, and some baseball player

11/22/2008 4:14:25 PM

it does kind of suck for glennon

but if he doesn't get to start until he's a RS-JR, well, I think that's pretty fucking awesome

11/22/2008 4:20:05 PM

Its so funny that we now have this problem b/c for the longest time we didnt have any QB's. It will be good for Glennon to sit for a while, learn the system, and mature to play a few year down the road. TO'B needs to handle this situation with kit gloves though to make sure glennon doesnt leave us for another school

11/22/2008 4:25:03 PM

Eh, I can see us possibly using a 2 QB system at some points over the next few years.


It worked for Florida.

^BLASPHEMY! Maybe the new Charlie Ward. Hopefully not the new Marcus Vick.

^^^ We don't have any problem yet. There is no guarantee that Glennon will be any good. Remember, Stone, Beck and Burke were all highly rated out of high school, and they all stunk.

[Edited on November 22, 2008 at 4:29 PM. Reason : 2]

11/22/2008 4:28:21 PM

Burke is a stretch

and Glennon was ranked better than Stone or Beck was

but I see what you're saying.

Goddamn Russell is the man.

11/22/2008 4:29:20 PM

this is great for Glennon. it gives him 2-3 years to learn the system and grow physically. the ideal situation is to not need him until then.


Wilson is the best QB in the ACC right now.

11/22/2008 4:35:42 PM

PRAISE WILSON

If Wilson starts all 4 years...then Glennon won't play until he's a RS-SR. But there is the possibility of Wilson leaving for baseball or just graduating early. I'm just saying...

11/22/2008 4:41:36 PM

11/22/2008 4:45:11 PM

You people are high that can't see the difference between the good decisions that Wilson is making and the scared nellie lobs that Evans was tossing down the field.

There are a lot of people calling Wilson the best QB in the ACC and while that may not be saying much, it is pretty fucking awesome for NCSU.


He's the new Tommie Frazier. Yeah, I said that.

i'm assuming that wilson finishes his degree and leaves before his RS-SR yr for MLB

11/22/2008 4:49:55 PM

I like how ESPN just said that Russell Wilson used to be a baseball player but gave it up for football. Way to stay knowledgable.

11/22/2008 5:09:53 PM

yah i noticed that. i think RW will pull a brackman after a year or two giving glennon a chance to mature. Best possible senario other than RW staying all 4 years imo.

and dont forget ... marcus vick was pretty fucking good in college.

11/22/2008 6:07:44 PM

He should definately be ACC rookie of the year

and since Tate went out, he definately could be in the running for ACCPOY

his stats the last two games would be off the fucking charts if it wasnt for Owen "I lurve butter" spencer

11/22/2008 6:37:33 PM

He won't be considered for POY with our record.

11/22/2008 6:38:16 PM

^yea which is fucking retarded cause he is the only reason why our record is what it is

11/22/2008 6:39:08 PM

I think he has to be ALL-ACC first team QB though even with our record....

11/22/2008 9:36:41 PM

should be, but that doesn't mean he will.

he is very obviously the #1 contender for 1st team all-acc qb

11/22/2008 10:28:55 PM

I'd say his closest competition for POY is Hakeen Nicks.

Honestly after watching today, which player would you rather have on your team? That, to me, should tell you who the league MVP is.

[quote]

I think I will use this quote often.

Also IF State finishes the season at 4-4, and no one else in the league finishes better than 5-3, I don't see how Wilson could not be considered ACC POY. The announcers were still talking Hakeem Nicks as POY even as it was clear UNC was going to lose and fall to 3-4 in the ACC.

Who else really deserves consideration. Maybe Ponder or A.Smith if FSU can win the Coastal? One of the GT guys? No one else has done as much for their team when they are on the field as Wilson. When he plays = we are good, when he does not play = we are embarrassingly horrible. The same things can be said about Irving though too.

I honestly think we have the best player on the field whenever Wilson or Irving is playing. We also have the best ST player when Graham is playing. I am excited for next year although I am sure NC State shit will happen.

Darrius Heyward-Bey is the best player in the ACC.......not sure if he gets it though.

11/22/2008 10:34:43 PM

It would not hurt my feelings if RW starts for 4 yrs. I would like to see what Sean Glennon has but I have a feeling we will be disappointed after this season. RW has set the bar pretty high.

RW is one of the smartest QB's I have ever watched. He makes better decision's than most senior QB's. I think the only way Glennon is going to see play time is if RW gets hurt.

11/22/2008 10:48:04 PM

^Mike glennon.....sean plays for Vtech


If he doesnt win it will be by the slimest of margins

11/22/2008 10:56:23 PM
