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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
