An Armanti Interview Worth Watching

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

First and foremost, I apologize for another AE thread. The length of this video and the questions asked by reporters warrant its own thread. Hopefully this hasn't been posted but I'm sure it has somewhere. In the interview a lot of hot topics are touched upon, worth the watch for you AE supporters and those ready to see him out of Charlotte already.

that panthers PR guy in the background is weird.

that interview was a pretty long time ago too, he probably is working more with steve smith. Th

I keep waiting for him to talk about the many ways you can prepare shrimp...

[Samuel L. Jackson]

For as much crap as I give Armanti, in all reality I see him as a humble, competitive, deer-in-headlights right now...

He can work on his worst habits and get better, and become a special player... I've never doubted that he would do just that...

I still would have rather had Gilyard though, but I like Armanti too...

I'll second this opinion.

He IS a talented athlete, and does seem to be a good person.

I don't blame AE for accepting the role he's been assigned. Lets' face it, getting selected as a potential NFL starter in the draft isn't a sure thing for any rookie.

Where I place blame is with our FO for drafting a QB with the expectation that he could be a WR. I blame them for putting him in a position where his talents aren't being utilized to their fullest and where his career could be in jeopardy. From what I've seen of his highlights, he could be another Michael Vick (pre-dogfight, athletically speaking). The Panthers have done this guy a huge dis-service.

And this guy has a four year College degree . sounds like JP

He could have been another Michael Vick with 150% better accuracy.

Have you ever been to the area he is from? Thats like blaming yankees for talking like...well yankees or hillbillies for talking like hillbillies.

Exactly. He'd have been a starting QB in a year somewhere else. We've really screwed this guy over.

Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding me that you're kidding me?

AE is fast on his feet and can throw pretty damn well. Here's his totals from four years at App.

Passing

Completions 768 - Attempts - 1,180 - Completion % = 65.1

10,392 yards - 74 TDs - 33 INT

Rating = 154.54

Rushing

755 Attempts - 4,361 yards - Average per rush = 5.8 yards - 65 Rushing TDs

So ya... he's a tremendous QB.... there is nothing to show that he had receiver's hands in any of the highlights I've seen, but he had a quick release and accurate arm.

I'm wondering if we drafted him to keep Atlanta from bringing Vick ver 2.0 against us.

[MHS831]

What I see is a guy who was hyped and is now facing reality. Not his fault. I don't think he drank his own Kool aid. He will be a player who develops slowly. Too early too write him off, way to early to count on him.

it would be a lot cooler if Steve Smith were helping him.....sounds like him help learning is all from Jarrett, Moore, and rookies.

I really hope he's not learning from Jarrett
