Where are all the AE lovers?

Honestly, with Vicks performance last night I figured there would be a dozen threads on the front page about how he needs to play QB for us because he was better at App than Vick was at VT. Instead, all morning and nada.

I'm really disappointed. In both of you.

You missed last week where the poster "GoApps70" claimed that Armanti was more accurate than Vick and "just as fast".

This thread is stupid. Our coaching staff is too idiotic to even consider playing AE so it does not really matter in the first place. At some point in a wasted and pointless garbage season it would make sense to try out all your players to make sure you dont have a idamond in the rough somewhere but all fox cares about is updating his resume and getting the hell out of dodge. Glad to see some fans are still the mindless sheep they always are and wouldnt even consider something like that. What does it hurt a 1-8 team just to throw him in on some plays to see what they have? Youre right absolutely nothing. Im no AE homer but wouldnt bitch and moan like some of these girls in this thread if they were to just try the concept out and see how it goes. Closed minded idiots.

Armanti was more accurate than Vick was in college, but Vick looked like a machine last night....in a rainstorm!

I would love for the coaches to let Armanti run the Panthers normal 2 minute drill for a couple of series during the game on Sunday...what in the world do the Panthers have to lose? It would make the game exciting for the fans instead of run, run, pass, punt.

Cam Newton is currently projected as a 2nd round pick....with the way Vick is playing this year, I think he will probably go in the mid to late first.

Maybe the Panthers could trade their top pick for a mid 1st and couple of 3rd round picks...and pick up Cam.

    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
