This argument has been dead.  Armanti is not an NFL player, period.  Never will be.  Doesn't matter what position. 

 

Yea and they said Louis Armstrong wouldn't amount to anything either.  Now he's on the moon laughing back at us.

I might in the minority here but I don't think that Armanti Edwards was ever given a fair shot at playing WR for us. I don't know how he looked in practices or what the coaches saw that he needed to improve on but I thought that he played well in Pre-season. I'm not saying that he could've started, but I think that if given more opportunities, he could've contributed. Maybe he wasn't picking up the plays well enough or quick enough for the coaches to feel comfortable enough to put him in a game.

 

I don't think it's so much that he wasn't given a fair shot as it was just that he came in at a bad time (John Fox's lame duck season).  Who knows what could have been if someone had really worked on developing him?

 

My own take honestly?  It wouldn't have mattered.  He's just not an NFL player.

 

But if you wanna make an argument for him, I think the time and place of his drafting is the only basis you can work from.

I'm not trying to make an argument for him, just sharing my opinion of him. So many people on here are always saying that he sucks and he might. But before i would say that I'd like to have seen more. More in the ways of him actually being coached to play WR. I do understand and agree with your statement, bad timing for him.

The stories about how lackadaisical Fox and his staff were that year still annoys me.

 

Richardson would have been better off just firing him.  I understand why he didn't, but I think it would have been the better choice.

 

(all hindsight, of course)

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
