I don't think Armanti is a bad interview at all. He does seem to have a habit of finishing a sentence in a tone of voice that suggests that he's not really finished though. I guess that could get a little annoying eventually but I thought he did pretty well overall. Like all of these rookies, he will get better at this stuff if he stays in the league for a while.

I know several people who had classes with him at Appalachian. Let's just say that he's not the brightest guy in the world.

That sounds contrary to many things that have been said about him since the draft.

I just think it's his voice. He's very monotone, and most of the things he says aren't that enlightening.

I'm not saying he's not intelligent, just that his manner of speaking doesn't really captivate a listener.

I wouldn't know for sure, that's just second hand information. I do know that Armanti was well liked around campus and stayed out of trouble, which is more than can be said of a lot of college players

That's a very good thing, actually. He sounds like he fits the team personality wise, at least (besides the monotone voice and uninteresting answers to questions he seems to give [i have not heard the interview]).

Well, regardless of how he did in the classroom, he must have a pretty good football IQ. They already have him trying to learn all three WR spots, punt returns, and it sounds like he's going to be running the wild cat too. That's a lot to throw at a rookie who hasn't played WR since HS and has never returned a punt in his life. After reading all the opinions of the beat writers as well as our very own Mr. Scot, it sounds like he's picking everything up pretty quickly too.

I believe he graduated in 3 years. Less than 4 anyway. Did you? :)

He's plenty smart enough to play pro ball. He'll get better at the interviews

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
