Armanti Edwards


Punisher

Recommended Posts

He would actually be a pretty good QB prospect. There is nothing that can be done about it this year or maybe at any point now, but from that small sample of today and preseason, I like it. As a WR, I don't think he can get by most CB's but he still doesn't look like a bust. I saw more from him this game than I did all of Jarrett's first year.

I think he looked proper back there when he was looking to throw, I wonder what the chances r that we give him a shot at qb

Definitely not this year. It just isn't practical at this point after converting him to WR/PR/Wildcat player. He hasn't look bad as a receiver either. I liked the effort on that catch out of bounds. He should have stopped on that interception tip, but that is only hindsight speaking. He was trying to run with it and make something happen. Either way, despite the haters this kid is a good prospect.

I'd like to see us open up a game with Armanti and the wildcat in more of a QB propensity and use it until it stops working. We haven't been scoring early anyway. Won't be like we're losing much by trying it for a drive.

You could tell it put the Bears D on their heels for the couple of plays he was out there today, despite the loss on the Gettis run.

One of the best thing that Armanti would bring to the offense, is the ability to run with the ball. Iv seen countless times Clausen run out of the pocket and throw the ball away, if that was Armanti it would turn into a 5+ yard play everytime. On top of that, after watching him play at APP STATE i know for a fact hes got a better arm then Clausen and Moore, but i think Pike has the best arm on the team.

YEAH I'M BIASED, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

The Jimmy Clausen fans have something else to say.

I however, believe that Armanti is the man. He has that 'it' factor that brings up the team. It is widely believed that success is contagious and obviously everythign the team has tried hasn't worked yet. Let's hope that something does....

Tony Pike is still waiting for a shot too. Armanti brings a more wide variety of play calls than any other QB we have. Will it work?

If Fox wants to keep his job he better brings something to the table and quick!

Early, late, or the time in between. The offense defines inept.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
