I agree.. but how can he develop when he's not active??

I totally disagree with how rookie's are developed in our system..!!

Because you only get 43 spots on game day. Gettis has emerged as a better WR threat then Edwards so he gets the start over him. If we activate him we would have to put a ST person or a Defensive player on the inactive list. Really can you say Edwards deserves that spot more then any guy on that field?

I want to see him get a shot but I'm willing to wait. I'd rather see him get the nod over Jarrett at this point though.

you actually get 45... but eitherway... we only know of Edwards by what we are hearing from practice...

we could find a spot...

i don't disagree with you here... i'm just frustrated with our ability to develop players that actually need help learning to how to adjust...

and we have to trust our "coaching staff" that they're doing the job.. See Jarrett

It's a little of both you gotta have the will and drive to WANT to get better as a player. The coaching has to guide these young guys as well let them play and get experience. They both go hand and hand I think it's a mixture of both of those things.

First.. let me say I'm not a Fox "hater" ... but I often question some of his play-calling (we all know he controls both sides of the ball)..

But more importantly.. I can't help but wonder how some of the rookies that are considered a "bust" ... such as Jarrett and so far A. Edwards would develop their skills in a different system.. (not all rookies .. these are an exception)

Has Jarrett had a chance to prove himself? When will A Edwards get a chance to get a "feel" for the game..?? I'm not saying to surround your offense around them... but maybe a few end-around's to Armanti? or a few short passes just to see what he can do.. maybe a wildcat here and there..

Is it the inability of the players ...?? or is it the inability of our coaching staff to develop these talents..??

It sounds like not learning the playbook is an excuse ... if you have a player that could benefit your organization .. hire someone to teach them .. make it a top priority .. We only have 3 plays!! It can't be that difficult!

I have a feeling Jarrett will go to another team if we let him go.. and be a decent receiver... not an all-pro receiver... but he's a big, physical receiver that would be the perfect "short-yardage" type receiver...

just my opinion...

I don't know about that.... Seems like this is the same thing that was said about Colbert and others and they did little after leaving Carolina. If you look at past draft the % of WR that actually develop into decent players are small. I think it is just a hard position to become effective in the NFL unless you're on Peyton Manning's team.

He is learning through the week in practice. Route running catching the ball and blocking. Once he ready he will be active.

ha ha.. okay :rolleyes:

you play rookies when they have the fundamentals at their position down. every team does this. edwards doesn't and he won't for at least this year.

he idea that they won't play him when he's ready is pretty silly...esp. when we are looking at a new coaching staff next year.

anyone thinking that edwards would be ready this year isn't thinking realistically. he could play this year but chances are he won't and if he does i wouldn't expect much.

so you're saying he'll develop his skills better in practice..?? na.. he should be active or we should have drafted someone else in his spot... imo

we should find a creative way to use him...

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
