Armanti Edwards....


Zod

Recommended Posts

This has been quite an entertaining thread to read.

My two cents...

I have good friends that have been around Armanti at App for his 4 years there (I'm talking adults that have jobs that put them in close contact with him pretty often). I also taught one of his classmates. Of course I understand that many won't believe me because I'm posting on a message board and some folks are going to believe what they want to believe...but here it is:

He graduated in 3 1/2 years. He's very talented in graphic design (I've seen some of his work).

He's a shy, humble guy.

He's an incredibly hard worker.

He's one of those "high character" guys.

I also have an acquaintance that works in the Panthers front office. I don't see him very often, and we're not best buddies or anything like that. However I did run into the week after the draft and I mentioned something about AE being taken so early (yes, I was thrilled). He said if they had waited till the next round he may not have been there.

That is the truth as I know it.

Now, his ability... here's the truth as I see it:

The kid can play. He has instinct and athletic ability. I don't know if that will pan out at punt returner or receiver or both, but I think he'll be a great addition to this team down the road. I'm sure he'll show flashes in preseason and he'll probably struggle too at times.

Yep, I'm an App State homer (class of '93) but I try to be objective. I just comment on Armanti because I've seen him play for 4 years and will never be surprised by what he does on the field. (Notice you don't hear me clamoring for Dexter Jackson, who is the fastest guy on the field but unfortunately hasn't figured out how to translate that in the NFL).

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
