Time for Edwards to Play (at QB)

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.

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction
