When the hell is armanti starting

As a fellow Armanti-ite, I would like nothing better than to see him start, but........ I suspect, and I read some mention of this, that Armanti is not starting because he isn't showing the staff that he can. I read that he was having some difficulties taking snaps under center (always at shotgun in college) and that he hasn't grasped the playbook like he should. You have to imagine that Fox would have him on the field if he was a good option----- with the losses, the pressure from local fans, and the nothing-to-lose-ness of the season. You have to believe he's not out there for a reason and not just for spite or the ineptness of the coaching staff--- they see him everyday and are desperate to win.

Also, I would argue that it will simply decrease his stock to have him as the next in a line of quarterbacks who fail to lead the team to victory (if if they play well). Even with his speed, the odds are stacked against him and if he gets some playing time and flails like the rest, that may be it for him in the future. Hell, now field goals aren't even a sure thing.

sounds an awful lot like many of the deangeloneans on this site.

Yeah except DeAngelo Williams is a Pro Bowler and the Panthers' all-time leading rusher. Armanti Edwards has done f**k-nothing, he just played for a bunch of homers' Alma mater.

Oh yeah and he muffed his way to the bench on the few occasions he was given significant reps in the preseason. Unless he turns into a starter or at least a hell of a utility player ala Devin Hester or Josh Cribbs he's a bust. We blew basically a late first rounder on him.

He is that, very talented.

When you're talking about an NFL roster, that doesn't mean nearly as much as you think it does. poo he had an uphill battle in front of him even when people were under the impression that he could be our Josh Cribbs during the offseason.

not sure how long you've been around, but the williams nuthuggers were acting the same way these armanti fans are long before he accomplished anything in the league...it started almost the moment he was drafted.

the site was littered with threads just like these.

Why is this thread just about Armanti at QB? I guess cause the title refers to him starting. How about just seeing him on the field? Was he even on the active roster? Munnerlynn is doing good on punt returns so I cant gripe about Armanti not being able to do that yet, but what about kickoffs? At this point of the season he should at least be the #4 WR. Either he still totally sucks or its Fox who is just going with the vetern in Clowney - who will most likely not even be on the roster next season.

I would think if you had a coaching staff that was going to be around next season and had traded a high second round pick for a guy that when your team is 1-9 and going nowhere fast you would at least have the guy suited up as your #4 WR.

      RODS gotta GO

      Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.

      It's a fine balance. You need elements of both.
