w00t

9/18/2006 2:51:32 PM

it can't be any worse than stone starting.... at least he will get some experience if he is the future qb...

9/18/2006 2:52:08 PM

w/ burke and beck both waiting to play next year, i have doubts as to whether or not he'll be the guy come next season. although i guess at this point it's his job to lose. hope he impresses.

9/18/2006 2:52:48 PM

isnt evans the guy that ran that reverse agaisnt fsu last year? if so the guy has wr like speed :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin:

HERE WE GO 6-6 RECORD!!!!

9/18/2006 2:55:38 PM

^There are two Evanses, a WR and a QB.

9/18/2006 2:55:38 PM

yeah you never know. we were in the same boat last year I believe when Marcus Stone took us on that great 6-1 streak that we keep hearing about. Maybe Evans can do something similar. If we go to 1-3 (against BC) and even worse 1-4 (against FSU) its going to be a long year and Chuck might be in trouble.

9/18/2006 2:57:34 PM

I think they are twin brothers arent they?

(not identical though, one is taller than the other.)

EDIT: Actually, just looked it up, he is a quadruplet, has a brother and 2 sisters

thats why hes so small. but it was daniel that took that reverse #19

9/18/2006 3:03:37 PM

thank the lord

9/18/2006 3:04:02 PM

Looks like I actually will have a reason to watch the game this weekend.

what's the deal with burke and beck? transfers???? redshirted or what?

9/18/2006 3:05:22 PM

beck is redshirting this year because of the ncaa transfer rule. he will be a RS-So next year.

burke is most likely redshirting unless Evans and Stone both stink it up.

we also have a pretty damn good incoming QB, russell wilson from VA. and there's a good chance we will land the 6'6" QB from Harnett Central as well for next years class.

so next year's qb depth chart could look like this:
Stone RS Sr
Evans RS Jr
Beck RS So
Burke RS Fr
Wilson Fr (committed to the Wolfpack. 3star, dual threat)
Cox Fr (most likely ends up with the Pack. local guy, tall, extremely athletic... possible move to TE/WR/DE)

Damn, hopefully this is the last year we have to worry about good QB production. we SHOULD be set for the next few years.

quadruplets

9/18/2006 3:07:23 PM

Beck is a transfer from Nebraska, he can't play til next year, Burke is a freshman, not sure if he has redshirted or not.

[Edited on September 18, 2006 at 3:08 PM. Reason : WTF, how about we land some linemen...]

9/18/2006 3:07:49 PM

you know, I'm about done with Chuck

but Chuck is doing and has done something that Herb never would


CHANGE SOMETHING THAT ISN'T WORKING

9/18/2006 3:09:08 PM

we got stowned

=\

9/18/2006 3:09:21 PM

Hell yea

I have been waiting to see this motherfucker for 2 years. I hear he is smart.

Glad I got tickets now

9/18/2006 3:11:22 PM

Thanks for the info...

so we expecting beck to start next year?

9/18/2006 3:14:34 PM

they should give up on stone as a QB
put him in for blocking and running as another back but forget about leading the team

This is Burke's redshirt year. He will not be playing unless

a) He's the best we've got
b) Everyone else gets hurt

9/18/2006 3:23:56 PM

THIS IS GREATEAST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME! I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS ALL ALONG FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS! THANK GOD!

9/18/2006 3:24:32 PM

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

sorry...just getting warmed up for his 1st 3 and out.

9/18/2006 3:25:02 PM

its about damn time

9/18/2006 3:27:01 PM

^^ i concur... and if he proves me wrong, who gives a shit, its a first down baby!

9/18/2006 3:28:28 PM

not gonna matter if the D keeps letting opponents move the ball at will.

9/18/2006 3:29:13 PM

i have always said that Stone would make a heck of a Tight End, hes fast, knows the offense and the defensive holes in the zones and u know he can catch and take a hit, not to mention hes a big guy, we need him at TE

9/18/2006 3:30:07 PM

I think Beck's arrival has a lot of fans asking questions. We bring in Burke, supposedly the next intelligent but athletic QB of the future who had a 6:1 TD:INT ratio his last year in HS. Beck is older than Burke by a year, he will be a RS Soph and Burke will be a RS Fr. Does Beck think he will sideline Burke next year? The kid coming in from VA is special to, CTC has obviously started trying to recruit intelligent QB's, a lttle late, but hey, it's better than not. All in all, I wonder why Beck wanted to come here, and what the coaches have told him regarding his potential playing time.

As for the present, with Stone and Evans reversing roles, this was a good move. Will Stone be graduating and moving on this Spring, he's been in the system 4 years? RS senior QB's that don't sniff the 2 deep (for 07, assuming Evans and at least one, maybe both of Burke/Beck are over him) are seemingly useless to the football team??

9/18/2006 3:30:13 PM

I think us sucking has a lot of fans questioning. We are just terrible. At least we didn't give up ~550 yards to Furman.

9/18/2006 3:47:48 PM

what if i told you guys, three years ago, after the gator bowl, that you would be hating chuck by now

an alias of mine did, and you said STFU

9/18/2006 3:59:03 PM

^^cant believe they gave up 500yds to Furman... the State-Carowhina game this year is going to be abysmal....

Dude, we lost to Akron and South Miss.

how the fuck can you even mention a UNC game with a straight face?

Especially one they won.

9/18/2006 4:06:37 PM

what i said in an email this morning:

Quote :

"we complained about Jay Davis, and now we're complaining about Marcus Stone. soon we'll be complaining about Evans and Burke. i think we're barking up the worng tree. - none of these guys is Rivers, and thus cannot adapt to offensive strategies du jour. - Norm Chow does not work here. we need to give the west coast offense a rest. the right complement to a 2-back set is the deep ball. that's how Marcus went 5-1 to end last year, and that's the point that eludes Trestman. to open up the running game, you have to keep the opposing defense honest by hurling it down field. making short choppy west coast tosses doesn't cut it unless you have someone with laser vision and an assault rifle for an arm...friendly reminder: Rivers is gone. - the common denominator is the leadership. i'd be willing to can Trestman before Amato. we're not getting any kind of ROI on Trestman. we've atleast seen intangible benefits of having Amato around i.e. all the excitement despite a downward spiraling record. we need to get someone from the SEC to replace Trestman. OC's in the SEC know how to utilize the speed we've been able to recruit. - it has become painfully obvious that Amato is simply not a smart man. that however doesn't preclude the team's performance by itself. its not the smartest, strongest, or fastest that win the most. its the most focused and determined. he needs to shape up or the pack will turn on him."

9/18/2006 4:07:27 PM

its not marc thats the problem, really

he had to ASK amato if it was ok to put Evans in, no OC should have to do that really if their QB is struggling. I like Trestman, Chuck seems to be the problem.

9/18/2006 4:11:27 PM

yeah, pack pride is obviously correct...it was announted in teh press conference...evans will start! and the coaches are actually excited about this it seems

9/18/2006 4:12:37 PM

chuck's like "shit, this kid might save my job."


i'd be excited too.

At least you highlighted "should". Davis was supposed to be a really good QB, so was Stone. I'm more convinced we can take a marginal QB with arm strength and smarts and give him a good/great OLine and make him seem better than he is - ie Jamie Barnett.

I have a feeling that this offense was too complex for a dumbass like Stone to run. I wouldn't be surprised if the lack of creativity with it was either A) to dumb it down for him, or B) he was changing plays because he couldn't remember the schemes.

friendly reminder: Rivers threw a massive amount of screen passes

9/18/2006 4:39:13 PM

screen passes work when you have a deep threat that rivers obviously did... and he had a running game (TA)

9/18/2006 4:46:45 PM

This is why Amato should be AD.....he brings excitment to every game somehow, even if we all think we are going to loose...good luck EVANS, cant wait to see the game

9/18/2006 4:59:03 PM

^^To be fair, Rivers really only had a legit running threat his Junior year (TA as a freshman).
