I was wondering how far into the season we'd go before Eloners started a debate between Riddle and AE, silly really
AE can pass as well as Riddle in the pocket, and can make throws Riddle can't when he's in trouble.
Then throw rushing the ball in mix and completely taking games over and it is rear view mirror time.
Riddle is a excellent passing QB, one of the best the SoCon has seen even, but QB vs. QB is no contest.
Elon fans are you telling me you'd rather have Riddle as your QB than AE, no backtracking like "for our system/program" BS either?

October 19th, 2009, 05:52 PM
Ok, let's get this straight Carolina fans.... oops, I mean App fans.
Edwards: 49 games played (6 already removed)
Riddle: 29 games played
Edwards entered App on a championship team.
Riddle entered Elon on a team that hadn't had a winning record in 6 seasons.
Edwards has great stats, all of them are great. But the thread brought to the plate the Edwards passed Riddle, who was on a bye week, made a big deal out of it, and on top of that has played in 20 more games than Riddle.
If you want to start a thread as smack, then start it as smack. But don't go whining to look at his other stats, that's not what this thread was about.

You're right, we don't POSSIBLY play any playoff teams, do we? I just can't fine Wofford, Richmond or App on the schedule anywhere the past two years. On top of FBS USF and WFU. Riddle has just had it SOOOO easy playing those same 8 or 9 other teams that App has played each year. xrolleyesx

Riddle will end up with the record... as long as his arm doesn't fall off after throwing it ~2,000 times in his career. And he deserves it. He's a great QB.
But, Armanti has the record now. And, I think it's good he has it because it helps dispel myths that he is a running quarterback 1st and a throwing quarterback 2nd. He's both... one of the best truly dual threat quarterbacks of all time. xnodx

Saint, not debating who is better, just backing up our QB.
Any team would be stupid not to take AE on the recruiting trail, but at this point I would take Riddle over AE. Riddle just simply has great chemistry with this current Elon team. And it's not BS to say "he fits out system" because he clearly fits what Lembo had in mind. While out recruiting, Lembo knew that if he got Riddle, he would start from day 1.
As far as not making the throws when it counts, just simply look at the game winning drive Riddle QB'ed earlier this year v. Furman.
And GP is right, it is silly to compare the two. Both put up ridiculous numbers.
BUT at the same time, you do have to look at where the programs stood when the 2 QBs arrived on campus. Elon went from the ultimate doormat to SoCon title contender after Riddle's first few games.

You are so right, Sophomores at Elon shouldn't be expected to do much, but since you brought it up.... It was his 22nd game as a starter. By AE 22nd start he had led the Mountaineers to another Socon championship, another National championship, Shocked the football world in the Big House and was in the process of getting fitted for two more rings in the upcoming weeks. If you gonna make excuses for your boy, at least make good ones, And oh by the way, Sleet, Snow, Rain and Wind, Thats where most of AE's games are played, Welcome to Boone!

Does Riddle have 3,965 rushing yards to go along with his passing stats? Didn't think so.
Did Riddle have those rushing yards, not to mention the all-time App St rushing leader Kevin Richardson in the backfield for two years to hand the ball off to most the time?
How about passer rating ?
This year
AE - 163.3
Riddle - 144.9
College career
AE - 158.1
Riddle - 139.9
Not to mention AE is 1-0 vs Riddle (missed 2007 vs Elon due to injury, but we still won)
Oh, forgot the biggest fact of them all. YOU HAVEN'T BEATEN US IN FORTY YEARS!
nms1987
October 19th, 2009, 07:00 PM
Are we really bickering about this?
Really?
Why?
EVERYONE knows that Riddle has played fewer games than AE but has also thrown more passes and that AE is a better runner and has gone to playoffs.
What is the point of getting in a "my toy is better than yours!" fight.
I'm an App fan, and I wouldn't trade Armanti for any QB in the world for our team. If I was Elon I wouldn't trade Riddle for anyone.
Riddle runs Elon's offense better than AE could, and AE runs App's offense better than Riddle could. But that is a moot point as Elon wouldn't be running their O like they do with Armanti at Q and App certainly wouldn't be running the O they do with a pass-first guy like Riddle at Q. Both guys put tons of points on the board and are the best (or among the few best) players their schools have ever had and each has lead their school to heights never before reached.
Why fight about this?
They're both great, they're both elite. Both among the best ever in the SoCon.
They have different skills but arguing over the details of how player A got more games but Player B gets more passes to a get a record is BEYOND silly.
What does that prove?
You've got to be an idiot if you think a college yards record is any kind of definitive proof of who is better than whom.
As great as these players were in college does anyone think Tommy Chang, Ty Detmer and Colt Brennan were better college quarterbacks than Tim Tebow (as much as I hate him), Peyton Manning or Donovan McNabb even though the first 3 guys are the ones with the all time records?
Probably not. Does it matter? No.
All of those guys mentioned did lead their teams and scored points exceptionally well and their records permanently attest to it and we should honor that.
Think about this year, does anyone think Steven Sheffield is the FBS best QB, Freddie Barnes is the best WR and Ryan Matthews is the best RB? No.
But they've done as well for there teams as anyone could.
Generally speaking, I'd take a (healthy) Sam Bradford over Steven Sheffield any day of the week but could Bradford really be expected to score any more points for TTU than Sheffield did? No.
Bradford is a better football player but Sheffield has fit TTUs offense as well as you can fit an offense so far this year.
Theres no point arguing the stupid details. Armanti has the record right now and Riddle will almost certainly finish his career with the record.
And that is what matters. Both of these guys will go down as SoCon legends.
Why can't we just leave it at that?
Proving that AE played 5 more games or that Riddle threw 100 more passes doesn't change any of that and doesn't prove any meaningful point.

Your own link shows one being rated higher but at a completely different position. Apples n oranges.
Furthermore, what kind of a college fan bills his favorite player but saying "he'll be better in the NFL than your guy". Who cares. It isn't about what they will do in the NFL, it is about what they do in college.
Is Wes Welker suddenly a better college receiver than Peter Warrick because he has produced in the NFL? No.
If Terrell Hudgins gets cut in training camp, will his college career be any less great?
Dozens of college FBs best alltime QBs didn't do anything in the NFL.

This is kinda ridiculous. These are both excellent QB's. I'm a big fan of Riddle and all he has done at Elon. However, AE has shown that he can win. Leading a team to tough, hard fought victories is the mark of a great QB. To the poster that said Armanti is just as good a pocket passer as Riddle, I disagree completely. That's what Riddle does best. All other areas of the game go to AE.

PhoenixSupreme
October 19th, 2009, 10:39 PM
You can say that QBs are just QBs but there are still really two types in my opinion....Pro-Style QBs (Riddle) and Dual-Threat QBs (Edwards). High school prospect sites recognize this and list QBs in one of the two categories in their rankings. They are both most efficient at their individual style of play, so it is a little unfair to compare both in one singular QB definition. Sure Armanti has made himself into a figure of lore in FCS football, and Riddle (along with Armanti) has rewritten the record books at his school, but let's not forget the supporting cast behind them that have blocked and caught passes for both QBs. Without these guys doing their jobs week in and week out, we may not even be having this debate right now in the first place.
CID1990
October 19th, 2009, 10:58 PM
Look at the rest of Riddle's records. Lil ole Armanti should take some notes so he may be successful at the next level:
SoCon records:
Consecutive games throwing a TD pass
completions in a season
passing yards in a single season
total offensive plays in a season
completions in a single game
yards throwing in a single game
total offense in a single season
consecutive games with 200 & 300 yards passing
consecutive pass attempts without an INT
td passes in a single quarter
NCAA record - TD passes by a freshman QB
Should I go on?? :D
You forgot to mention one:
Having all those wonderful stats without yet having been to the playoffs. Maybe this year.

This thread made me think of this...
Does any quarterback have a 300+ yard running game and 400+ yard passing game(s)? Is AE the first?
I'd say yes.
Tracy Ham's high water mark rushing was 199 yards vs. ECU in 1986. He broke the 400+ yard passing mark twice (1985 vs. Furman in the title game, and 1984 vs. ECU).
Greg Hill and Willie Taggart (WKU) might be the only dual threat QB's since Ham to even approach that kind of rushing tally in a single game. Not sure about Taggart, but Hill topped out around 250 yards tops in rushing and passing ... he never broke 300 in either category, but was a career 3000 rushing/3000 passing yardage guy.
Until AE, only Ham and Hill had reached those career plateaus.

EDWARDS HAS PLAYED IN 20, that's 2 and a 0 more games than Riddle. And, fine, want to take your playoff games out???
Ok, follow me again here....
just a bit more....
EDWARDS HAS PLAYED IN 9, that is 9, nearly a full season more than Riddle.
Sorry, bud, there's no spinning this one.
what games are you counting? i see ae has played in 39 FULL games and that's including playoffs. and follow me here . . . .
he has almost 4,000 more yards to his total yardage with only 10 more FULL games played.

This is kinda ridiculous. These are both excellent QB's. I'm a big fan of Riddle and all he has done at Elon. However, AE has shown that he can win. Leading a team to tough, hard fought victories is the mark of a great QB. To the poster that said Armanti is just as good a pocket passer as Riddle, I disagree completely. That's what Riddle does best. All other areas of the game go to AE.
Show me one throw Riddle can make that AE can't. AE can throw the touch screen, quick strike over the middle, and a 60+ in the air bomb. AE could be a pocket passer if needed.

Look at the rest of Riddle's records. Lil ole Armanti should take some notes so he may be successful at the next level:
SoCon records:
Consecutive games throwing a TD pass
completions in a season
passing yards in a single season
total offensive plays in a season
completions in a single game
yards throwing in a single game
total offense in a single season
consecutive games with 200 & 300 yards passing
consecutive pass attempts without an INT
td passes in a single quarter
NCAA record - TD passes by a freshman QB
Should I go on?? :D
Do I really need to list AE's records???

So in one less year, Riddle already has 222 more pass attempts. I would be really bitter if my all star qb had that many more pass attempts, and wasn't in the running for tops in passing yards. The fact that Armanti is such a running threat and has almost 4000 career rushing yards AS WELL as the top in SoCon passing yards should speak for itself. But, of course, Elon fans can not accept the fact that Armanti has the record right now...
Regardless, both QBs are excellent and are doing great things for their respective schools

Does it really matter if Armanti broke Riddle's record or someone else's record had it not been Riddle as the former record-holder? The fact is that Armanti has it now and Riddle now just has to take it back. I guarantee that whenever Riddle does retake the record, someone will then remake this thread again, and the argument will ensue again.

I realize this... I am not arguing that at all.. I am simply saying, if my QB had that many more pass attempts more in I would be pretty bitter if he was not at least near the top (in this case, in the top 2)..
But since you took a shot with the "(someone's that played about 2 seasons more games)" statement, I will take mine..
Riddle has 222 extra pass attempts.. Assuming (yes, i know what assuming does) Elon plays 12 games a year, that is 18.5 extra pass attempts A GAME.. Earlier in this thread, I think it was noted Riddle has a 68% completion rate (I may be making this up -- not sure and dont want to go back)
68% of 18.5 is 12.765 completions... Assuming he averages 7.85 yards per completion, that is more than 100 yards extra PER GAME Riddle has.. Again, assuming Elon plays 12 games a season, thats 1200 more yards a season. OF COURSE he will be on top in that statistic.
You have to look at the WHOLE PICTURE.
Completion percentage, attempts, yards per completion, rushing yards, total yards, TDs accountable for, winning %, Playoff wins, Championships, etc. to determine who is the better. Now I know some of those stats have to deal with who they have around them, but I am pretty sure the QBs job is to be a leader and directly impacts his team mates.
But, this argument is moot.. Both QBs are doing great things for their respective teams and the game in Nov. will be fun to watch!

Yes I know you have to look at the entire picture! Notice the little winky eye emoticon at the end of my post.
All argument aside, how many TDs is AE responsible for? I think that someone said 120? I believe that Riddle is up to apprx 80.
Also, I would like to note that Riddle did break that SoCon's mark of consecutive passes without an INT. That speaks volumes about decision making at the QB position (which was seemingly in question earlier in this thread).
But yes the point is moot.

See, and I'll disagree with that. Playoffs, playoffs wins and championships has nothing to do with how good a single player is. That is team, coaching, etc. What has been said mercilessly by I don't know how many posters on this board is, App is head and shoulders above everyone else in the conference, let alone the country, in team personnel. So, Armanti has had success with an already successful team, with a team proven to have not only pass protection, but a running game and capable receivers. Where Elon, before Riddle, had none of that and for Riddle's first year had none of that outside of receivers; which goes back to why team achievements have nothing to do with the player. Which is why Terrell Owens is a fantastic NFL receiver, but played on a sucky college team.
Which goes back to, the stats are not really comparable; the thread was started about passing yards (not about Amranti's other stats); and everything else is moot for the argument.
The fact is, Armanti has had 200 less attempts, has basically the same completion percentage, comes from a winning program and just not passed a current junior for these stats (said Junior had a bye week, which is why Armanti passed him). The fact is that Armanti is also a rusher too. Good for him, we're talking passing here. And, has taken 2 full seasons of attempts (whether he played or not) to do this. So, he played in 10 more real games. So, I thought I'd look at it and, well, Riddle has played in 22 full games.

You're absolutely right. Riddle is the best thing that has ever hit the SoCon.. Why do other QBs even play? No chance they are going to come remotely close to Scotty boy...
The fact that Armanti is such a running threat and has less attempts makes it even more impressive he is near the top at any time...
I will say it AGAIN.. REGARDLESS OF WHO HAS THE RECORD (Riddle will clearly have it by the end of his career), both kids have done incredible things!!

As a neutral observer please allow me to state that the thought of even having a debate over who is the better QB between Armanti Edwards and Scott Riddle is utterly ridiculous.
Edwards is one of the best ever in the division, and will be a very strong candidate for the College Football Hall of Fame. Riddle is a candidate for all conference honors- which isn't bad, in fact Riddle is a very good player- but Edwards is a program maker and a once in a generation championship player who engineered multiple titles and perhaps the greatest win ever for a FCS school.
I can think of several QB's in the SoCon in the past 10 years I would take over Riddle: Ingle Martin, Richie Williams, Greg Hill, JR Revere, Chaz Williams, Billy Napier come to mind immediately; but there's not a one on that list I would take over Edwards.
No comparison... Riddle deserves to be mentioned with the greats in Elon's history, Edwards deserves to be mentioned with the greats in the history of the division. Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig difference.

October 20th, 2009, 10:39 AM
I was wondering how far into the season we'd go before Eloners started a debate between Riddle and AE, silly really
AE can pass as well as Riddle in the pocket, and can make throws Riddle can't when he's in trouble.
Then throw rushing the ball in mix and completely taking games over and it is rear view mirror time.
Riddle is a excellent passing QB, one of the best the SoCon has seen even, but QB vs. QB is no contest.
Elon fans are you telling me you'd rather have Riddle as your QB than AE, no backtracking like "for our system/program" BS either?
Agreed. AE has more weapons than a swiss army knife and can turn into a ghost when the rush is on. That is much tougher to defend than a one dimensional passing QB.

How many playoff wins (0/9) (Riddle can't touch this stat)
How many SC Championships (0/3) (Riddle can't touch this)
Total Interceptions (30/27) *current (even with 9 more games, Armanti is better)
Total touchdowns accountable for (110/122) *current
Total Average Yards Per game (294/276.5) *entering this season xchinscratchx This surprised me.

when a team in preparing to play asu, there is always 1 question asked...how do we stop armanti edwards?? and most teams feel if they can slow him down then they have a chance to win (look at richmond last year). not so sure that is the case with riddle as he is not a duel threat quarterback. as a fan i was way more nervous about playing against jayson foster.
i will say that the hudgins-riddle combination is probably the best 1-2 punch in the socon as far as reciever-qb in quite some time. (although williams-fowlkes wasnt bad either)

Because AE puts up so many sick numbers passing and rushing, and first look at SR's rushing totals, he had net rushing yards of -73 for 2007 and 2008. This highlights his ability as a passer, but rusher, not so much.

My poke was at CID1990 and no one else. The Citadel has been in the Socon since 500BC and Elon only a few years. I was simply asking how many times lately has The Citadel been to the playoffs and how is it working for them this year? Hey, I know Elon has stumbled late in the season the last 2 years, but there are a lot of people who remember when Elon wasn't good enough to stumble, including me.
Oh no, we stumbled back then too. It was like running fast down a mountain and then tripping, rolling back then. Or like Homer Simpson trying to jump the gorge on a skateboard.

Sigh
This blew up fast.
The original post is what it is about. Passing yards. Not who is better. Number of throws doesn't matter, completion percentage doesn't matter, who has thrown an average longer ball doesn't matter. Riddle is geared towards an offense that is a throw first run second, and is geared around the short throw. Of course he's going to have more attempts.
Rushing, whatever else. It doesn't matter. This is about passing yards only. Can AE do what Riddle can? Maybe, but the offense isn't geared around him doing that either. So even that is hard to say. You can also make the case that App, being the better team, has had better protection for AE too, to add to his stats, where Riddle pretty much hasn't had that kind of protection, at least until this year. A comparison of the two otherwise, isn't a comparison, it's opinion.
AE is the better player. Riddle a better passer? Maybe? Could be? There's nothing much else to say for it. Even if Armanti holds it the rest of the year, Riddle has another year to get just that little bit to break it, and most likely will barring a career ending injury (which concerns me with him punting right now)

I can only say one thing. We, (Wofford) are getting better. We played app HARD saturday and if riddle was thier quarterback, we would have won. AE is a magician. He got out of situations that would have been sacks on 99% of QB's in the nation (The game will be replayed on CSS thursday at 11:00 pm. Set your DVR). I have to call a spade a spade. He is a freak. AE does things that you shouldn't be able to do (except cut grass). AE plays like Michael Vick when Vick is having a great game, but AE does it on a reagular basis. When its big time, he plays even better. Everybody looking at numbers should consider how many yards AE gets after he should have been sacked. Sorry elon fans, no hate, but there is no comparison! AE all day. I want to win national titles, not be a playoff CONTENDER! Only one gets me there.

Elon should get in this year. The Socon is down. It's only app, elon and maybe furman this year. If you guys don't make it, there may be a question out there. The only reason belichick is a great coach is because of TB. What happens when riddle leaves. The truth may come out.

This D is pretty good. I think the Wake game exposed all the open holes, with Lembo and crew quickly correcting them.
If Shuman stays healthy the remainder of the season, I am very confident this team will get into the playoffs.

Is that a statement you EVER thought to make? Seeing that Elon was a constant doormat for the first few years in the SoCon, it is impressive to see how far the program has come in such a short time.
You know, it wasn't too long ago that App fans were calling for Moore's head! I think I remember reading that on the old escribe board. My, my, how times change!
I have always been on the Jerry Moore bandwagon and have never called for his head!xbandwagonx However, I did want to get rid of the cloud-of-dust run-the-ball offense of the 90's, and that finally got taken care of! (ironically, now we are worried about the defense)!
Maybe I "hoped" to make a statement like that. The stronger the teams in the conference, the stronger the conference. I think it strange that for a while, the attitude around the conference (emmm Furman and GaSouthern) was that the only reason ASU could win was because those programs were down. Keep rising up Elon, maybe you can pull some others up on your coattails!
I'm really not trying to smack anyone on this... just win baby and the rest will take care of itself. I think Elon knows that, they just have to find a way over the hump to post-season glory.

Lets look at it this way. AE could perform just as well in the pass happy Elon offense as he does in our more balanced approach. Riddle on the other hand would not be effective in the ASU offense since he can't run the ball very well.

Here is the thing, you are talking about two different systems. Someone said that "system vs. system" was a cop out but in reality all systems at all levels change based on the quarterback. Look at Wofford over the last few years, yes, they continue to run the wing option but you also have to look at how much more they have thrown the ball based on the ability/talent of their QB. You think that if Moore had Riddle that his system wouldn't change? You're nuts! Just like if I were to think that Lembo wouldn't use more of a West Coast style with more options/QB running if Elon were to have AE. It's not exactly an apples to apples comparison between the players (Pocket vs. Scramble) and systems (Throwing vs. West Coast/Running). Additionally, we have thrown the ball a LOT less this year than year one and that is because we had a better line and RBs.
All things said AE is a VERY good QB and will make his way onto the Sunday stage (not as a QB mind you). Riddle will go on to surpass the 22 yard difference (either on the first play or by the end of the first series Saturday) and then go on the set the bench mark if not at the end of this season it will happen next season.

Look at the rest of Riddle's records. Lil ole Armanti should take some notes so he may be successful at the next level:
SoCon records:
Consecutive games throwing a TD pass
completions in a season
passing yards in a single season
total offensive plays in a season
completions in a single game
yards throwing in a single game
total offense in a single season
consecutive games with 200 & 300 yards passing
consecutive pass attempts without an INT
td passes in a single quarter
NCAA record - TD passes by a freshman QB
Should I go on?? :D
Hell, he throws 100 a game it seems like. Check percentages and interceotionms, Then talk.

The issue is, ask your fellow fans what the purpose of posting this is....
You're right, we don't POSSIBLY play any playoff teams, do we? I just can't fine Wofford, Richmond or App on the schedule anywhere the past two years. On top of FBS USF and WFU. Riddle has just had it SOOOO easy playing those same 8 or 9 other teams that App has played each year. xrolleyesx

Thus far he has won......well, nothing to speak of. 2) AE is a great QB that is an awesome all around athlete, running and throwing. One of the best the SoCon has ever had. He has National Championships. This argument is played out. Let's resume on Nov. 14. As for now, die thread.....die.

I'd say the Elon fans (well at least the ones I didn't see before 2009) are up there "hate" wise, but as far as football program "hate" it would take Elon beating ASU consistently over a decade or so before you'd approach GSU or Furman status.

You missed the point my friend. AE has the tools to play in basically any offense in college while Riddle is a true pocket passer. A coach wouldn't have to change their system for AE since he has the ability to do well throwing, running, or both.
Now I'm not busting on Riddle (he is a very good passer), but he isn't as versatile as Edwards.

Anyway, I am looking forward to the Elon/App showdown. I'm sure that whomever wins, the winning QB will have the record for passing yards! :D

There's one factor that I think people overlook with Scott Riddle - and that is Terrell Hudgins. The guy has insane receiving yardage so far. He has been almost half of Riddle's passing yards. Coco Hillary and Brian Quick are good but they just aren't quite like Hudgins. Hudgins could very well end up with 5000 career receiving yards.

When i think about a great passing QB I think about PASS EFFICIENCY because it's nice to have a lot of yards but if you've got not as many TD's or worse, more intersecptions then that would hurt you as a great passing QB.

I sort of made that point a bit earlier in the thread in saying that without the O-Line to block and without the receivers to catch, the QBs would not look as good as they currently do.
Personally....I hope Armanti Edwards and Scott Riddle come in dead even in the SoCon passing yards race coming into the Elon/App. St. game......that would make it that much more epic

There's one factor that I think people overlook with Scott Riddle - and that is Terrell Hudgins. The guy has insane receiving yardage so far. He has been almost half of Riddle's passing yards. Coco Hillary and Brian Quick are good but they just aren't quite like Hudgins. Hudgins could very well end up with 5000 career receiving yards.
I can't imagine what this offense would look like if both Micahel Mayers and T-Mobile had 4 years at WR together. They have the NCAA record for yards caught for a WR tandem in a single season. Mayers finished the year with around 1100 with Hudgins having slightly more.

Everyone else is chiming in so I thought I would too.
The debate seems to be who is the better QB or to make it more of a apples to apples comparison, who is the better passer?
When i think about a great passing QB I think about PASS EFFICIENCY because it's nice to have a lot of yards but if you've got not as many TD's or worse, more intersecptions then that would hurt you as a great passing QB.
While I think Riddle and Edwards are both at the top of the list when it comes to QB's in the SOCON (passing or not) it looks like Riddle actually is number 3 this season when it comes to Pass Efficiencyxrolleyesx

Good info.

Yes, SR will end up with more yards. But only one will be in the small circle of people that are considered to be the best ever to play in the FCS/1AA. Case closed

Once again, this thread is about passing yards, not total yards. This thread got out of hand and off topic on both sides (including me) very quickly.

...As of October 22. Elon doesn't like playing football after October.
Elon record in November last 4 years: 5-11 with a lot of losses to teams they should have beaten
App record in November last 4 years: 14-1 only loss to LSU
