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.

    • Well there goes the bullied victim spiel.
    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
