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.

I don't think he could have cut it regardless of the round selected.  Had he been a 6th round pick, he might not have stuck around as long, which actually gave him a better shot at making it.  And being a second-round pick got him a little more money.  I think Hurney helped Edwards but hurt us.  But its water under the bridge now.

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

Biggest mistake they made was not legit playing him at QB over Clausen or anyone else. The man was a QB so we should have given him a shot and played him as one with expectations of a QB letting him run a complete offense as anyone else would have.

First Philly now this. We’ve been playing pretty loose with the word “legend”. 

Im pretty much a huddle legend, sort of more than a man but less than a god is how I would describe myself. Armanti is most definitely an App. State legend and  former Panther who wasnt used correctly and should have been given his shot at QB

IIRC nobody was scouting him as a QB for the draft. I doubt it would have worked either way. Classic overdraft the local legend to sell tickets.

Over drafting a kid that far and then making him switch positions was brutal. I hated the entire idea but i felt for the kid because it was wrong on every level but the pay. 2010 was wild and freaking Pickle in the same draft. I can't believe Hurney still works in the NFL.

that is pretty much what he told me then.  He said it was like learning a new sport when you are competing with pros who have done it their entire lives.  He did not talk about Fox not liking him, but I thought so at the time.

Still would have been better to have used him as a QB and given him a shot no matter what everyone else scouted him as or thought. The only time they ever wanted to use him was a wildcat if I remember correctly...? We had nothing else going at the time from what I remember and he could have been given a shot

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      This whole thing is sooooooooo dumb, why any of this is an ongoing news story is ridiculous. There are only 2 people who should actually care about this, his wife and her husband. Affairs happen, not that I'm saying it's okay to cheat, but at worst, the only "bad thing" that could be coming around from this affair is that information was passed between them, the same type of info that any coach and journalist who are friends may share with each other to help the other out. The Patriots shouldn't care as long as it doesn't affect his focus on the team.  And those saying that he's lost the locker room and their respect over the "lying" have to be fooling themselves.  Half the players in that locker room are more than likely actively or previously have cheated on their significant other.  So it's not like they're looking at him saying, "what a liar and terrible person, I can't trust him as my coach anymore"

      Seriously?!?! First SNF game of the year and it's two teams that didn't make the playoffs last year? I thought they always made that Week 1 SNF game a banger with two great teams from the previous season. EDIT:  Just looked, last year was Bills-Ravens, previous season was Lions-Rams, Giants-Cowboys ironically before that (but both coming off the playoffs).  From what I can tell, this will be the first time since 2020 that SNF's week 1 game isn't 2 teams from the playoffs the year before, and the Cowboys were in that one too, against the Rams who also didn't make it the year before.
