Can't say I disagree with him, we need a spark and we need to utilize him anyway we can and not just let him rot away on the inactives every Sunday. Give him at least a package, or let him play a series or 2 at QB, then some at WR...

It’s time for the Panthers to see what Armanti Edwards can do.

At receiver and quarterback.

Even before Dwayne Jarrett’s DWI arrest early Tuesday morning, the Panthers faced the possibility of lining up three rookies and a chronic underachiever at receiver against the Bears this weekend.

Regardless of the status of Jarrett, whose legal fate could be in limbo for a few weeks until the results of his blood test come back, and the condition of Steve Smith’s left ankle, it’s time for John Fox to get Edwards on the field – preferably at quarterback.

I don't think he needs to play full time QB and I doubt anyone outside of the most rabid AE homer would think so at this point. But they do need to utilize him now that he will be active. Put him back there for some sets let him fling it out of the backfield. Do something, anything new for the love of god.

I will say this......Clausen is likely the long term answer. But look at Kolb/Vick and what occured. AE might actually do better b/c he simply can get away from garbage OL play. I think it could be a nice wrinkle. Give him some shotgun reps and see what happens. Not a wildcat but a variation of how Vick was used in Philly last year.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
