Here's hoping Edwards gets a start at QB this year

Perhaps we should give Armanti a shot on the field before we all decide what he can and can't do. Claussen was supposed to be able to do a lot of stuff, but couldn't when it came time to answer the call. Jake Delhomme was a nobody, but he had it when he was given the chance.

Assessments be damned, you just can't tell a darn thing until you get the player on the field.

Where the heck is all this hate coming from?

When has he ever failed at QB? The only time I have seen that was when he was so injured he could barely walk.

Several NFL teams use the shotgun. 3 step, 5 step, whatever. Running backs can see their holes better that way also.

He could work under center. No big deal.

You don't have to change offenses to get good results with Edwards. You would have to change your way of thinking though when they put him into the game.

Exactly. What is it going to cost us a quarter or two of play?

What are we afraid of.....losing our perfect record, or actually finding out that he should be our QB?

You're welcome, any time I can get you to defend your beloved Armanti, I enjoy it.

Im not defending anyone besides I dont think AE needs defending for something that hasnt happened yet.

I just think giving him some time in the rotation in this throw away season makes sense - if nothing else for the entertainment value - I guess it could get worse, but Id rather watch a guy like AE who has been a Panther since last spring stink it up than some hose bag named null that the front office drags in off another teams turd pile.

I completely agree the team needs to change, but asking for a complete overhaul midseason is foolish. We can't even expect routes to shorten and playcalling to adjust for our supposed "franchise quarterback of the future," why would they drastically change everything for AE?

I totally agree that Fox is failing at coaching here, btw. Just saying, we shouldnt' expect anything from AE at this point.

foolish to expect it? yes. asking for it, though...not foolish. it's being pragmatic. if things don't work, you try something else and see if it works. it can happen, but it won't, mainly because that would be to big of a challenge for the coaching staff.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
