Former scout's view of Armanti Edwards.

Recommended Posts

Armanti Edwards is very slight of frame but he might throw the best of any QB that's scheduled to throw in Indy.

Just thought this was interesting. Granted, there is a reason he is a "former" scout. I wouldn't hate if we took him in the later rounds. But I am biased.

My biggest personal concern of Armanti is not his size, speed, arm strength, or even his durability. I am very worried about his ability to digest an NFL playbook and his abilities to make micro-second decisions under pressure. Because those abilities are what separates the average and the greats. But maybe he can pull a Dennis Dixon and make it on a roster and one day get a chance.

Eat it, Panthro! :P

I know they're similar players, but is it possible to talk about black quarterbacks without making comparisons to other black quarterbacks?

oookay...

I was comparing two players that have very similar skill sets and styles. The fact that they are black is irrelevant to me.

There are just not many, if any, players who have similar skill sets to Armanti that are white.

Maybe you're right -- sorry if I came dangerously close to playing the race card. You're right that they're similar players. I guess my problem is when black quarterbacks that are pocket passers are compared to more mobile players -- but since I guess that's not the case here, I'll concede that they do have similar skillsets.

Oh yeah, no problem man. I know what you mean. I find it annoying as well when people do that.

I remember when people would compare McNabb, Vick and Steve McNair. Idiots. These players had little in common besides race.

    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet. 
    • oh now that's what you call Mother Fiuggure fans the ones that always have this fierce protective shield around the team no matter if they win or lose  & to be honest there is nothing really wrong with being a Mother Fiugguer fan they just have a different meaning or sense of what a true fan really is                                                 ☺️ 
    • I'd gamble, miles josh green and 2-3 firsts especially if we could trade both this years and 1 future
