Why not Armanti Edwards at QB?

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..

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.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
