I wasn't even looking at your name because it's not important to me. I don't care what he did in college because when you come from that type of offense you don't have the background skills needed to be successful in the NFL. Moore and Clausen came from pro style offenses in college and you've seen how they struggled.

I don't care if he is quick, everyone is quick in the NFL. The spread offense is based on having better athletes than your opponents and getting them the ball quickly in space. That doesn't happen in the NFL like it does in FCS football. The hashes are too close together and everyone runs sub 4.7 40s.

Can he take a snap under center? Has he seen half the defenses that will be thrown at him?

I'm done writing this post because I'm mad at myself for giving this much thought into why he won't play well when it shouldn't even cross my mind.

No, he is quick and elusive for the NFL. Read many times about certain reasons in practices to know that. His receivers and blockers should be better with the Panthers. Doesn't take a genius to know that if he has a great arm and is elusive that he has a good chance of doing well. Seen the three others play and know he is a better QB. Don't really care how much or little time you put into it, the truth is the truth.

Yeah the "local product" spread QB who put up insane numbers in college is always popular.

Of course. But sometimes with much justification.

I agree with that, but not at starting QB.

We do not have anyone else that can consistently move this team. Not going to get Brett Favre. Isn't the signing period over? What's the deal, do some people not want him to do well?

yeah, I agree. get him some "Mountaineer" in there and see what he can do for a change of pace, but yeaaah.

Put him in enough to know what you got. Don't just insert him for a few plays. Let's get serious about this.

the problem is this:

we know he is inferior to what we have at receiver.

we don't know if he is any better at QB, but the likelihood he is... well, it's small.

so if we draw up a huge game plan for him and he just isn't that good... bad stuff happens.

this is why you have to work him into the offense slowly... we'll see if it actually happens this week though.

No NFL coach, no matter how innovative, is going to "get serious" about starting a guy like Armanti at QB. He never even took a snap from under center while at ASU.

The best we can hope for is a change of pace in the offense and, at this point, some form of entertainment in a Panthers football game. I think he can do it, but let's not blow the role of Armanti Edwards in this offense out of proportion.

man there's no way he never took a snap from under center.

...is there?

I think he may have gone under center once in order to take a knee but I'm not sure.

I remember a game in 2008 when App had to start a drive at their own one, and he was still in the shotgun. Maybe it was because he could make reads or run draws quicker, but he never went under center.

Edwards getting a jersey next week is possible, but I wouldn't say it's a lock.

Bigger deal may be what happens with Thomas Davis. This week is the "crap or get off the pot" week in the NFL rules.

With Connor getting hurt, there's a possible reason to shift the alignment.

All dependent of course on whether Davis can actually play...

No, we don't know that he is inferior to what we have at receiver. Those receiver's have played probably 10 plus years at receiver. Knowing "Fox and Friends" they probably went with experience.

What is this "snap under center" junk. All sorts of NFL teams use the shotgun from center. Watched an NFL game tonight that they used it the whole game. So common that you probably didn't notice it. With the shotgun, 3 step or 5 step, you could also do a direct surprise snap to a running back. Of course you have a QB that can be a running back also with Armanti. Even in cases where he went under center, he could be back to pass much faster than what we have now.

I think he may have gone under center once in order to take a knee but I'm not sure.

Just like the commentators talked about today when televising Vick, they say that it gives you a better prospective back there. Can see receivers cuts and the whole field better.

I would love nothing more than for Edwards to come in and light it up... I just... don't think it'll happen.

Too much faith around here in his legs. We need a quarterback, not another running back. =\

After yesterday, I'm not so sure we have enough running backs on the roster. :eek:

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By Basbear · Posted

      All true, Stafford and Mccvay were both talking about "retiring" during those future picks too, I member. In my computer when you make future trade, I feel you have to factor in the worst case or close to it from your side. The big issue for the panthers, maybe even now is that they have not proven they can draft well enough to trade. I know that Dan and company have not traded future picks and they seem to always want 7-8 picks overall. They like to trade 3 picks for 3 picks or 2 for 2.   It would have been great to flip BB for that haul and use those Rams picks instead of the first overall pick...... Verse wise, Jesus what a beast....... Garrett is the top dawg and all, but man this is rough for me. I also noticed this about the panthers they are pedo bears, they like dem young. So a 25 year old verse would have gotten gigged with the panthers. Even with NIL and 6th year, and even coofus fallback, panthers prefer younger players. Monroe Freeling (Round 1, Pick 19 | OT, Georgia): 21 years old Lee Hunter (Round 2, Pick 49 | DT, Texas Tech): 22 years old (estimated) Chris Brazzell II (Round 3, Pick 83 | WR, Tennessee): 22 years old Will Lee III (Round 4, Pick 129 | CB, Texas A&M): 21-22 years old (estimated) Sam Hecht (Round 5, Pick 144 | C, Kansas State): 21-22 years old (estimated) Zakee Wheatley (Round 5, Pick 151 | S, Penn State): 22 years old (estimated) Jackson Kuwatch (Round 7, Pick 227 | LB, Miami OH): 22-23 years old   Tetairoa McMillan, WR (Arizona) — Age: 22 Nic Scourton, EDGE (Texas A&M) — Age: 20 Princely Umanmielen, EDGE (Ole Miss) — Age: 21 Trevor Etienne, RB (Georgia) — Age: 20 Lathan Ransom, SAF (Ohio State) — Age: 23 Cam Jackson, DT (FL)- age 22 Mitchell Evans, TE (ND)- age 22 Horn-22   Fitterererere just turned out to be a awful hire, too green, too willing to please, no sense of what talent looks like on teams other than Seahawks, too much pressure, didnt have the correct network of coaches and FO office people. Kick was herniay leftd him with a bare bones talent to start with and besides taking a bottom level team and improving it, he made it even worse AND trading prime draft picks to prolong the timeline to fix. People forget Dan didn't have the 1st overall pick and 39th overall(that dude looking good for bears) to repair this team. Dan could have traded that 1st overall for a proven 1k WR, 9th overall, future 1st and future 2nd......

      Who is/will be an 'All time great' thats on our roster right now?

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      When I read the OP I was thinking more of the Franchise than the league but I agree.  To me DB is the only guy right now but I could see TMac being on the list.

      “All-timers” usually stand out early and often.  There really isn’t much wiggle room.  Not many of the greats magically figured it out 3-4 years in.  Franchise greats is another story.  They don’t even have to be all that good to become a legend.  One play or game can make a guy a hometown hero.
