anybody watch devon bess last night and hope that Armanti could develop into a player like that for us?

Was thinking that too. Dude runs perfect routes and is built like AE, so maybe. Let's be honest - I don't care who's playing WR this weekend. Out offense sucks so bad it's not going to make a difference. Nobody's calling Steve Smith a bust, and he has 5 catches for 32 yards in 2 games with Clausen under center. It ain't the WRs, fellas, it's everyone else.

I think he meant that with the position change he has done a lot more running than he is use to and it's taking a toll on him. He has to get in WR running shape not QB running shape. My guess anyway.

i doubt it

i ran the same offense as AE did at App State when i played in college. Every QB on the roster's conditioning was up to par with the backs and receivers due to the fact that we had to run draws, option plays, etc. from a conditioning standpoint of a QB coming out of a spread-option offense should easily make a transition from QB to WR.

Did you condition with the WR's? Did you run the same amount of sprints and routes as they did day in and day out? The answer is No.

A spread offense QB will be in a better running condition than a pocket passer every time. But no matter how much he runs, he will never run as much as a WR, so don't even pretend to argue that he would.

*waits for huddle 3 year olds to derail thread*...

Look which 3 year old made the first attempt... you :P

At his size, a 4.45 40 time isn't anything to write home about.

There is a difference between football speed and 40 time. Wes Welker runs a 4.6 and is probably even slower now. As was pointed out the difference between Smith's 40 and Edwards' 40 is slight. Smith also probably can't run the 40 as fast as he did, and I wouldn't be surprised if Edwards is faster at pure leg speed than Smith at this point.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
