I know Ron gets a lot of the blame for running Cam into the ground, but I feel that Gettleman deserves more blame for that then he currently gets. Gettleman's refusal to build the team around Cam is what forced Ron to have to make Cam carry the entire offense.

I talked to Armani at an OTA during his  second season.  First, you have to remember that he was with the Jimmy Clausen draft--when Fox was a lame duck and Marty drafted players he liked.  Marty got abused in that draft--trading up for Armani based on misinformation provided by the Colts.  That added pressure.  Then he gets a new staff the following year.  Edwards told me that it was weird learning a new position this late.  I joked that it was like being a pitcher all your life and they move you to catcher in the big leagues.  He laughed and sorta agreed.  I had the same experience in college--when they recruit you to be a TE but, after a few August injuries, they moved me to OLB (played both in HS, but was not the same player on D).  So I get it.  Edwards was nice, humble, and obviously frustrated.

He was mainly drafted to sell tickets? John Fox didn’t want him?  We gave ip the 33rd pick in the following draft to get that? I’m hoping he is exaggerating or was misinformed because that is horrible.

that was just hurney magic bb

Sounds like little was done to develop him.  Foxy had 1 foot out the door when Edwards was drafted (2010).  He (Foxy) acted like he didn't give a sh#t so not surprised about that.  Rivera not an offensive guy and was a little in over his head.  Edwards landed at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I lost most of any respect I had for Fox in 2010. He earned that too. JR was too cheap to fire him, Fox just sat and collected the checks with no shits given about the team or fans.

Such a shame about AE. One of these most dynamic players in college football.

Played hurt in the Michigan game.

With a week or two left before we went to Michigan, we started facing injuries. I got hurt. ..... And the week before the game I wasn’t able to practice at all because of a sprained AC joint in my throwing shoulder.

 ....on the first drive coming out of halftime, I got sacked and was thrown directly on my hurt shoulder. I think it was a cracked bone. But adrenaline was still rushing, and I managed to finish the game.

This is very similar to what Matt Corral is going through currently. Sure he was drafted by Fitt but under the Rhule regime. He got hurt, didn't get a chance to prove himself, drafted his replacement and now he is fighting for a backup job. Right time, right place, right opportunity absolutely matters in the NFL and it's unfortunate that a lot these players don't have any say in their career.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
