Well, reports from minicamp were that Armanti was making incredible catches and moves as a WR. BUT, it's a totally different game with pads on and live hits.

I really hope he steps up b/c he has many of the tools that we were looking for with a guy like Golden Tate... That's who I wanted us to get as well. But, if Edwards can figure out the route running, I think we should be good.

As far as LaFell, I just don't know. There's no excuse to be that big and not be able to catch the ball consistently.

What I do know is that we have tons of young talent at the WR position, but as it stands right now, all that talent is potential untapped - and that doesn't translate to productivity.

not even smith is immune... he was totally slacking off.

:iagree:Yeah walking around like he's too good to go out there and snag a couple of balls down with his broken forearm... What does he want? The guys to put on flags and YMCA t-shirts. I'm disappointed in his effort.

Sorry I like Edwards and all but no way is he even on the same level as Tate. Tate has the catching and leaping ability of a great WR and power and agility of a RB. Maybe with a lot of work (both on the field and with coaches, and some serious time in the weight room) he might be were Tate is now. I would put money on Tate becoming a beast. If only he would stay away from the late night doughnut runs.

i think fiz was saying that the #2 WR has been on the team and his name is dante rosario.

gary barnidge is a really good receiver and jeff king is pretty stinkin reliable.

we could do worse than having to rely on those guys. all of our RBs are decent receivers as well.

just use them more.

Well, that's why I said the guys we brought in our talented but nothing but untapped potential at this point. Edwards is learning a new position and LaFell can't get out of his own way with drops.

I meant in terms of open field ability and speed, Tate and Edwards are comparable... But, in terms of overall ability as of right now (size/strength/positional skill) Tate clearly is better than Edwards. I just hope Edwards can get up on that level by season's end, the sooner the better though...

It seems like just yesterday that Rosario was a go-to target in the 2008 season opener in SD, not to mention grabbing the game winner. I for one thought he would see an increased role in the passing game, but it seemed to go in the other direction.

      Would you trade Derrick Brown to get a top QB prospect?

      Sadly, I’ve talked with a lot of my fellow alumni and Heel fans, and I’ve said, sadly, UNC is in the same exact position with Gio as the Panthers are with Bryce.  And the way the situations mirror each other are EERIE.  I’ve said here repeatedly how whoever Bryce’s personal team is that conned an NFL front office into taking him as a first round pick, let alone the #1 overall pick, deserve to retire off whatever money he’s made due to their efforts.  This poo would make Chauncey Billups’ crime bosses blush.🤣. Same for Gio.  Whoever he has around him, representing him, that convinced a power 4 school to pay this MF MILLIONS of dollars at the college level coming from Southwest Alabama Technical Basket Weaving School for the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind University, just to come make the whole rest of the UNC squad look like absolute poo is a fuging amazing sell.  I’m talking Tai Lopez level scam poo.  And for both to con their way to their position at their respective levels of competition, only to get there and be so clearly the worst piece on their team while simultaneously play the most important position on the field - I’ve never seen anything like it.  And what’s worse, in both cases, the organization chooses to keep putting them out there in large part because of ego and investment made.  And all they keep doing is making the rest of the team look fuging atrocious.  They both literally hold the entire team back by their presence alone.  And as an aside, Lopez may have the slowest fuging release I have ever witnessed in my life.  In talking slower and longer than fuging The Golden Calf of Bristol.🤣🤣🤣
