How so?

He was a good college player, but just couldn't cut it in the NFL.  The Panthers gave him a shot, but it didn't work out for him.  Seems to me that if anyone got screwed in the deal, it was the team.  

We even traded up for him I think?  Maybe I'm misremembering.  But yea I remember we even made that "mountaineer package" where it was basically just wildcat with him at qb.

Gantt is digging deep for fluff eh?

As an aside everything I've read about Armanti on a personal level has been impressive. I wish him the best.

I talked to him a few times during OTAs. He was overwhelmed and told me about it.  Fox had little to do with that draft (he was a lame duck, if you recall) and Hurney did not get his input.  I literally heard Fox put down Clausen while talking to another coach (in Spartanburg later). At that time, he saw Armanti drop a punt from the jugs machine.  He just started shaking his head, walking away.  Nice guy--no better.

Trading up with NE to select him in the 2nd round.  At that time you didn’t draft non-D1 players out of position that high.  It put unfair expectations on the kid and he couldn’t cut it.  And most of all because fug Hurney.

He was probably overwhelmed because he was playing a position he never played before in the highest level right off the bat

He was given no leeway to learn the position either

Still maintain we should have just played him at QB once Clausen started sucking. He at least would have made plays and been a little exciting which is something Clausen couldn't do

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
