Why not Armanti Edwards at QB?

[ezekielh19]

Ok, I get it, the orginization has made it clear he's a 'project' who has been working with and taking reps with wide receivers..

1) the guy won 2 national championships at the quarterback position. yes, competition was inferior, it's not like all of his teammates at app st were above and beyond all other teams. He beat Flacco in a championship game and Henne at Michigan.. why are they starters and Armanti can't even be taken seriously as a QB?

2) With Rookie receivers who can't create separation (among other issues), we need to create offense FROM the backfield; not rely on things to open up downfield while one of our mediocre, immobile QB's (Clausen, Moore, Pike) sit in the pocket to either take a fumble/sack or throw a terrible pass.

I realize the hope of his playing as much as I think he should is far-fetched, but with where we are in this season, I think a little boldness in offensive scheme is called for.. I say (for now) half the snaps go to Armanti in the "mountaineer" and half to Jimmy to keep giving him reps as a rookie...

y'all's thoughts..

If he can't field a punt what makes you think that he can take an NFL snap without fumbling?

Can't be any worse than Jimmy...

Hell I was against it at first but why the fug not? This offense sucks as is.

And how many punts has he officially muffed? I think it rhymes with "fun."

[Cyberjag]

Jeez, I need to remember to be more obvious around here.

[Happy Panther]

I'm just relying on every scouting report (and our FO) that said he is not fit to be an NFL QB.

Given how hyped he is it would be fun to watch though

Because they have this sign in front of the Quarterback room.

Armanti is too short to be a classic pocket passer in the NFL. He's not the sort who can drop back, step up into the pocket, scan the field, and make the throw. He tries that, he gets way too many passes batted down and tipped.

Now, if you run something where he rolls out, then he's gold. Make him mobile and put him in a WCO style attack and he can be deadly. In fact, I think he's about the same size as Jeff Garcia. So when the next coach arrives, maybe you have a shot at realizing your dream.
