look folks (particularly my boy monster), coach washington done said that the starting qb's job is carter's and second place ain't even close. so why are some folk trying to throw an "inexperienced" qb in the starting lineup just because he was sharp in a spring game with "zero" pressure to get hit (more less a passing drill)? its already been determined "publicly" that its carter's job to lose even though my boy monster is trying to do everything within his power to disrespect coach washington's decision. unlike ifedi and fowler, carter has "proven" himself, he's a "proven" commodity! he's a "consistent" 55% plus passing qb (who can also run extremely well) that has shown multiple times that he has "ice in his veins" when under intense pressure in "big games". not to menion, this dude love's a&t! otherwise, he could've transferred a long time ago and started at almost any fcs hbcu or any d2 team in the country. yet, what has ifedi proven at this level except he passed well in only one spring game (with a white jersey on) that would not allow anybody to hit him? so now he's earned the right to be your starter because of a "non-contact" spring game? though he ain't done "jack" in no real game? much less in "high pressure" games? negro pub-leeeze! a "non-contact" spring game is like playing "flag football". look, carter outright won the scsu and ecu games for us, both games against "top competition", both games under "intense pressure", and most importantly he won both games with his "arm", not his legs! also, we would not have won the kent state game had it not been for carter, carter is the one who came into the game and got the offense moving when raynard couldn't do so. carter changed the entire momentum of that game, taking it away from kent state and giving it to us. only a blind man can't see that carter is "head and shoulders" better than ifedi and fowler at this juncture. nobody in camp other than carter has "proven" that they are capable of handling any kind of pressure that a defense can throw at him. its a "no brainer"!! (lol, but i'm not saying my boy monster ain't got no brains )...

If you've got some free time on your hands, watch this video and tell me if you are 100 percent comfortable with Carter being our starting QB in 2019:

But that’s one game and we have several examples of him playing very well against far greater competition than that Sav State game

Yall sampling is definitely tunnel visioned on JUST his good stuff. You list 2 games but then say Thrilla cant use his one example(which is actually a full game). To listen to you guys talk, Carter has never made a mistake in his career. I wont list them because it wont change your mind. Yes, he played great at ECU. No mistakes, good touch on the ball when needed to Leslie for jump ball U. The pass to Bell was a simple comeback, but hey, a td is a td. he came in and won the game. Props.
Yes, he played great against SCSU off the bench 15 years ago when he went 2-7 for 1 td AFTER an Interception set him up on the 31 yard line. Yeah, that was awesome(eye rolls).
Oh, and that same year, He played great against NCCU scoring that ONE TD even though he fumbled later to give NCCU the ball back and then couldn't finish off the drive after the defense gave him the ball back again. Yeah, that was awesome(eye rolls)
Oh yeah, he played awesome in the CB when we were up 24-6 when he threw that interception and actually gave Tarik his chance to shine all over again instead of us blowing Alcorn out. Tarik should thank him for making it a game and giving him more opportunity to get his name out there also. That was awesome(rolls eyes).
And no Carter "Magic" in the Morgan State loss that everyone seems to have blocked out of their memory since we won the CB last year. 6-14, 32 yards.
I'm not bashing Carter. People keep forcing me to list bad stuff because they are flat out ignoring it. I hope he succeeds. Why wouldnt I? But to say he is heads and shoulders above the rest of the QBs just because he threw a TD again SCSU as a freshman and played decent against ECU? Not sure about that one. I'll say my reason for saying what I say ONE MORE TIME.. It shouldn't even be a question at this point because I've said it so much. I DO NOT want to see 15 QB draws a game, nor do I think we can win the CB that way. That's my ONLY issue. Is that an issue with Carter or the staff? Well it depends on if that's the only way to use him for success or not?
Carter may be the "Starter" according to Washington, but he is far from perfect and I'm not sure where you get this "not even close" thing from. "Not even close" was before the season started last year. No one questioned whether Raynard would start at all. If IFedi gets his accuracy up then there is a full blown QB controversy at A&T.

If you've got some free time on your hands, watch this video and tell me if you are 100 percent comfortable with Carter being our starting QB in 2019: i don't have to watch it. i've watched him play for 4 years which is more indicative of his ability, so ain't no "one game" gonna change his entire body of work. that's like saying look at "all" (not just one) of raynard's games during his redshirt freshman year and the first half of his redshirt sophomore year to determine if i'm comfortable with him starting this year if he was eligible. or, look at raynard's first 4 or 5 games of last season to determine if i'm comfortable with him starting this year. as i've stated before, its easy to "cherry pick" a game where carter was not at his best and then ask am i comfortable with him starting. no, that's not the appropriate question. a more appropriate question would be look at carter's "body of work", am i still comfortable with him starting and the easy answer is, "ABSOLUTELY YES"!

"Not even close" was before the season started last year. No one questioned whether Raynard would start at all. If IFedi gets his accuracy up then there is a full blown QB controversy at A&T. by comparison, i can list 10 times as many "worst mistakes" by raynard last year, but does that make raynard an awful qb? i can also list 100 times as many "worst mistakes" by raynard during his redshirt freshman year and the first half of his redshirt sophomore year, but did that make raynard an awful qb? i'm just sayin'. and by the way, in case you forgot, carter was a "TRUE FRESHMAN" who had his redshirt burned and had not played one single game all season long when he played against scsu that year. whereas raynard was a redshirt freshman and was a part time starter but didn't even take "one snap" against scsu. yet, you wanna criticize carter in that game? why not criticize raynard since coach had to burn a "true freshman" redshirt because raynard was so gawd awful?

To be accurate, this was the most recent game he has played in ... and one of the only times he has been the quarterback from start to finish.
This was one of the few examples I could find of how he looked when an opposing team actually game-planned against him.
There is a big difference between a starting a pitcher ... and a relief pitcher who comes out of the bullpen.

I would like to compare Raynard's most recent game as a starting quarterback vs. Carter's most recent game as a starting quarterback.
The most recent history is the best indicator of what someone is capable of in the future.

Please show me. please show me examples of ifedi or fowler playing well in "just one friggin' quarter", much less 4 quarters!

It'll be interesting to see who rises to take the top spot. I figure the competition has to be intense this year even with Carter getting the public vote of confidence. Last year Carter and Raynard knew barring injury Raynard was starting until he got himself together. This year Carter has to kind of be thinking that even though Coach has stated I'm his man I know he has an eye on Ifedi and what he can do. Likewise Ifedi has to be thinking if he shows out he can take the job outright. Fowler also has to continue to try to work for the starting job.
I honestly don't think it'll be settled until fall.

So you would bench a 5th year senior - the preseason MEAC offensive player of the year - who hadn't lost any games he had started in his entire career up to that point?
