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.

    • we are not talking about the 5th we are talking about bryce being one of if not the worst starter in the nfl for the past 3 years.  Dont move the goalposts my man
    • The issue is the position Bryce plays. Finding a good/great quarterback isn't easy. Plus, it sometimes takes years for these guys to actually become good/great. What you have to look for is progress instead of regression. Bryce has shown that. Can he put it all together? We don't know yet. But that's why you place a smaller bet with the 5th year option, and wait to see. You could be wrong and lose your 30 mil bet, but you didn't hitch your wagon long-term and lose much more.
    • Absolutely not. That’s too much for replacement level player. Bryce may be that. Or he may turn into something more. If you can’t see the flashes, you’re willfully blind. There’s more bad than good right now, but there’s less bad than there was earlier in his career. He’s only 24 and he’s showing signs of improvement. He may never become consistent enough to justify a long term contract, but he’s shown enough to roll the dice on what effectively will turn into a 2 year, $30MM contract for the next two years to see if he can earn something longer.    Sure, in his one season starting, Howell managed to throw for 3,946 yards and toss 21 TDs, but it took throwing the ball an astounding 612 times. He also threw 21 INTs (for a particularly egregious 3.4 INT%). For all the talk of him being a deep ball thrower, he still only averaged 6.4 YPA, with an average air yards of 5.6 yards per attempt. And for all the excuses of Washington’s line giving him no protection (65 sacks taken that year), he was only pressured on 22.7% of his dropbacks, which is a few percentage points lower than what Bryce has had to deal with each year (24.2, 26.7, and 24.0%).    These are all numbers that are at best roughly equivalent to Bryce’s production the past two years. It’s wild to me people can claim so confidently that he’s a better QB.
