Armanti Edwards....

I wouldn't say Edwards's is stupid by any means.

First off I think we should take a look from where he is from. Greenwood, South Carolina is Edward's birth place and the race is split right down the middle for White and Black individuals. Second the median income is only $26,000 dollars. 25% of the city is below the poverty line which would lable some parts of the city as the project's. As an individual you adapt to your surroundings they do not adapt to you, which could explain Armanti's dialect. It also did not help that his father was convicted of murder while Edward's was in college. However he persevered.

Armanti graduated with a 3.3 GPA from his high scool. The average GPA for a high school athlete is a 2.5. Armanti is .8 points over that which is a accomplishment.

In college Edwards majored in Graphic Arts and he graduated in three and a half years. The average graduation time in Graphic Arts or Design is in four to six years and Armanti exceeded that by leaps and bounds.

I wouldn't call an individual stupid by the way he talks. If that was the case than most of North Carolina would be dumb as hell considering most of the population is considered to be country and rural. Armanti grew up in a different back ground than some of us but that does not make him any less smart.

Rapper Lil Wayne actually enrolled at the University of Houston and was recording astounding grades but dropped out to take classes online at the University of Phoenix so he could pursue his music goal, but we consider him to to be a stupid individual because of his grammar and his back ground.

I know it helps to enunciate your words and at least put on the face of an intelligent individual but don't judge someone because they come from a different back ground or talk differently than you. If you are going to judge Edwards judge him based on his on field accomplishments because that is what he is getting paid to do not write a book.

That is all.

You guys cant be serious.

After one fuggin week yall are calling him a bust.

This is embarrassing.

Give the kid a break, just because the front office used a 2nd round pick on him and he isnt ready yet, doesnt mean he sucks.

So quickly how you guys forget that a certain player with the # 89 didnt start as a dominant receiver. But became one after starring as a punt returner.

I expect this from Panthro, but not others. Yall are better than this.

This.

He is learning a new position, you have to give him some time to develop, Jarrett on the other hand...

Not That this guy is a Jerry Rice but even Rice's first training camp was a bust he dropped more passes than anyone else on the team.

and Jerry Rice also played 8 years of "high school football"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The AE homers are coming out of the woodwork. I didn't know this many people had internet access in Boone.

Makes you wonder...could it be the coaching?

Fox is a running coach.

I dont know who our WR coaches are or how long they have been with us?

Colbert, Carter, Jarret instantly come to mind.

Outside of Smitty and Moose we have been unable to produce great wrs.

Is this more of bad coaching or scouting?

People have been pretty impressed with LaFell. We definitely need someone to step up at the #2 WR but up to this point I think it has been a scouting problem more than a "coaching" problem. Scouts pointed out before we took Jarrett that he was too slow to get off the line. They said the same thing about Colbert. We didn't listen because Fox is dead set on getting a "blocking" WR. He is more worried about getting a receiver to compliment the running game than he is getting a receiver that could actually be good at catching the ball...

Maybe LaFell will be a step in the right direction. He doesn't have ELITE speed but if he did he would have been a first round pick because he's got everything else. If we don't hit on LaFell then its time to look to the 1st round for a WR with all the tools.

If LaFell had come out last year he would have been the first or second receiver in the draft, definitely a first rounder. He has good speed but is big, blocks well, and can go up for the ball. If he pans out as expected, he might be our version of Fitzgerald.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      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

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
