I know this is meant to be joke, but what's done is done.

I disagree with what Hurney did because AE is such a project, but I think he has a chance to be better than what people think. He is such a tremendous athlete that I think down the line (2 years from now), he can be a weapon.

And that's where it will matter most, because I think this team is a 2-3 year project.

how can u make judgement on armanti after 1 season, he did not get to play much and was forced to learn an entirly different position. You guys had a hard on for Jarret for 2 years before u turned on him.

I think its hard to make a judgement, but considering he hasn't played a meaningful snap, as fans you have to be open to the possibility of him being a contributor.

That's why people who bash the trade are jumping to rash statements when he was a rookie, learning a new position, with a rebuilding team.

this will make it worth while.. if he is a dangerous weapon (and it's possible) I'll be okay with it.. if he turns out to be Ryne Robinson, then we definitely lost out.. big.

but there is no doubt, he has huge upside.. and to judge him after this year is really f**king stupid.. If anyone thinks this year is all Edwards will ever be is being entirely too short sighted..

and so Zod's plan here has succeeded...

am i the only person that's not seen much of this 'athleticism' everyone keeps harping on? i know he hasn't shown much in the NFL... but athleticism in college does not always translate

i'd love for him to be the next SS, and am willing to wait on him to progress, but so far i've seen nothing that screams 'freak athlete' like some people preach on here

Very much a valid point. I would not say "freak athlete" to describe Armanti Edwards. He's fast and has great vision. You can see that in his college tape when he pulls down the ball and finds open seams to run through. As a natural Moose possesion type receiver, I don't think that type of athleticism will translate well. But for a Wes welker slot receiver type role, where he can use his speed, quickness, and vision to find soft spots, that may be a possibility.

Bottom line: I think he has tremendous upside, and potential that might not be reached for another 3 years or so. But if you look at the big picture, I think this team is going to be ready to seriously compete in 2-3 years, and if that's when he blossoms into a contributor, it could be perfect timing.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
