Hell no I not being Sarcastic. Obviously you have ties to App. Put him the SEC or Big Ten every week as a QB and he gets crushed. I'm not knocking him, he's an athlete, not a pro QB. His is 5'10" on a good day. To skinny. He was recruited D1 as a corner or DB. Maybe he can play in the NFL on the defensive side but there is no way in hell he plays QB. Stop looking through the rose colored glasses. Armanti Edwards will not be a QB in the NFL. Lets take a look at Chris Leak, Played D1, Florida, won a Championship, one of the best passing QB's in College ball. He may not be as mobile as Armanti, but he was far superior to Armanti. Leak never even got looked at twice. I expect Armanti won't get half the consideration.

Try to separate the emotional part of your thinking for just a second and you will realize what I am saying

I am an App alumnus, but I can separate myself for logic. I think a third round pick may have been too high, but clearly other teams wanted AE. However, your post is lacking logic. 1) Chris Leak, you're kidding right? 2) you think Division I QB's that played in FCS are clearly not capable of playing QB in the NFL...so, I assume you think guys like Kurt Warner, Rich Gannon, and Joe Flacco were busts?

Anyways, for the most part I agree that AE will not be a QB in the NFL. However, I also think anything is possible. I wish nothing but the best for AE, and am glad he's playing for my team...again. Hopefully, he'll focus on the being the best at the position the Panthers put him at. If so, he'll be a success.

Just focus on the player and not where they played. If a guy can play football, who cares where he went to school? Don't forget about guys like Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell, big time college teams does not equal guaranteed NFL success.

      The bottom line is we saw long stretches this season where T-Mac wasn't even targeted.  He had games where he went an entire half without seeing a pass thrown his way, and it lead to a bunch of games with 5 or less targets.  If he's healthy and we're not up a stupid amount and only running the ball, I can't see him having more than a game or two next year with 5 or less targets. We were also only 22nd this year in pass attempts, and that was with a rookie #1 and no legitimate 2nd option for half the season.  And even then, we were only 46 pass attempts above 31st place. If we go into next season with T-Mac improved in his 2nd season and a healthy Coker for 17 games, there is absolutely no reason for us to not throw it more.  That right away increases both of their target totals without sacrificing any targets from each other or other players, add in them taking targets from the TEs and RBs on top of that, and your argument just doesn't hold water anymore. You can't look at targets/yards in a vacuum and think next year Coker just takes some from T-Mac.  You have to look at the team as a whole and our situations this year and then project what will happen next year. If he's healthy for 17 games, I'd bet my life savings that T-Mac sees increases across the board, targets/catches/yards/TDs.   Just as Coker will also see career highs in all categories, it's not one vs the other, it's shifting offensive strategy given our personnel, which next year will be much better for our passing game (QB issues aside).

      C'mon now.... First, you can't switch up your argument once someone points out a major flaw in your point. You're saying we shouldn't expect a big increase in targets/yards for T-Mac, but then shift to talking about averages with Chase when I point out the significant leap he took there once you factor in his missing games.  He saw an increase in targets in 5 less games, averages aside, he saw a significant increase in targets in his 2nd season, what he then did with those targets is actually irrelevant in this discussion. Puka seeing no increase is pointless, as he saw such an absurd amount of targets for a rookie, it's near impossible to see an increase. But the real issue in this post is that you think I'm proving your point by showing how Waddle had to share targets with Hill. Tyreek Hill was a 1st team All Pro who was 2nd in the NFL in yards that season. If you think Jaylen Waddle sharing targets with a 1st team All Pro and a future HOFer is even remotely in the same category as T-Mac needing to share targets with Coker... then you are certifiably insane, lol. If anything, you could make the argument that Coker is to Waddle as T-Mac is to Hill in that discussion (which would then lead to a serious increase in targets/yards for T-Mac).  But even that is insane, as neither T-Mac or Coker will be as good as Hill and Waddle respectively that season.  I love both of their potential, but c'mon now, T-Mac isn't getting 119 catches for 1,700 yards and Coker isn't getting 117 for 1,350 next season.
