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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
