Per ESPN Insider... "Wildcat Sightings in Charlotte?"

Wildcat Sightings in Charlotte

In 2006, before anybody in the NFL had heard of the Wildcat offense, the Carolina Panthers beat the Atlanta Falcons 10-6 in a game where DeAngelo Williams ran several times as after taking the ball as a shotgun quarterback. Now, new Panthers coach Ron Rivera wants to see more of the Wildcat in Carolina, and he wants Armanti Edwards to be the man taking snaps.

Edwards is most famous for being the quarterback who led Appalachian State to a win over Michigan in 2007, but the Panthers drafted him in the third round in 2010 with plans of converting him to wide receiver. He played in only three games his rookie season, and while he saw time as a passer, runner, and punt returner, he netted only seven all-purpose yards.

However, when Rivera looks at Edwards, he sees flashes of Josh Cribbs, the wide receiver/special teams star of the Cleveland Browns who also has run the Wildcat from time to time.

"Rod Chudzinski (Carolina's new offensive coordinator) was in Cleveland when they had (Joshua) Cribbs," Rivera told Tom Sorensen of the Rock Hill (S.C.) Herald. "I'd like to see similar things with Armanti."

Given the failures of Jimmy Clausen, Matt Moore and company in 2010, Edwards may be the best quarterback on the Panthers' roster. Rivera gave no vote of confidence in his passers, telling Sorensen "We need to find if we have that franchise quarterback."

LOL, so ESPN charges people for "insider" access so they can read stories based on newspaper articles that can be accessed online for free?

I am glad that a national sports media outlet FINALLY acknowledged that the wildcat was re-introduced to the NFL by the Panthers.

You had me at first, but lost me when you called him the best QB on the roster. That is not what the article was about. No basis for that assumption.

Secondly, I hate the wildcat. Just my opinion.

What I like is the idea that Armanti could become something of a third down back. a slot WR/back who could break open screens and maybe find daylight on draw plays. motion out to a slot.

This is how you use Edwards. He is no NFL QB, so you Boone goons get that out of your heads. The NFL is not for you to relive small college glory. Just because ASU beat one of the worst defenses in Big 10 history does not mean we owe him a thing. Got quiet about Dexter Jackson pretty quicky, I noticed. Best players from the Mountains of NC: Brad Hoover, FB, Carolina Panthers. Dean Biasucci, all time leading scorer, Indy Colts; Clyde Simmons, All Pro Defensive End, Philadelphia Eagles. All from WCU.

    • to all the Low-T Betas crying about "pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza" / "we’ll get embarrassed if we admit we like it" stop the nonsense stop the embarrassment go back to watching The View with your girlfriend’s other boyfriend while eating your dry cheese-only slice like a toddler Pizza culture has not sniffed innovation in nearly a decade, a total abyss of pathetic, boring, flavorless display of culinary cowardice Do I think pineapple pizza is going to replace pepperoni and conquer the world, absolutely not Would I be excited to proudly order it anyway? hell yea and deep down you’d give up making out with your first cousin on the weekend to take a bite of a hot, fresh, pineapple slice We need to normalize pineapple on pizza to set the blocks for the future of flavor We have an up-and-coming generation of taste buds who need guidance a STUD of a topping that is COOKING a wrecking ball of sweetness that hits like a freight train a stud salty counterpart like ham or bacon to balance it a young buck of creativity for toppings that is just getting started a true #1 cheese holding it all together a solid crust foundation a sauce that is progressing It’s not perfect, it’s not traditional, but I am beyond elated with the direction pizza is going I will be in the pizzeria cheering on the boys stacking pineapple on that dough and so should you And for the national mouth breather association who will undoubtedly poo and flame everything I post… have a blessed day
    • I can't defend Richardsons failure to this point. And he is still as young as the rookies being taken this past season. I think he still could pan out.  XL is another case. I think he looked the part but some of his times and film showed he struggled separating and the fact he never showed up being good before his 5th season. Laad was my obvious choice at that point(tho I was banging the table to trade up and grab Thomas Jr when he fell into the 20s). Ladd didn't lack athleticism and had the route running and mental part to boot. Didn't see a weakness in his game expect he was smaller..
    • Surprised?  I wouldn't be surprised. I think you are missing my point. I'm not saying the Panthers won't extend Bryce.  I'm just saying that decision won't be based off one game.  This game is not going to decide if Bryce is released or given a 5-year deal.  Like, those are crazy extremes. The people who will be surprised are those who think the Panthers losing this week will automatically mean Bryce is gone in the offseason or won't be starting again for us next year, since that seems to be the only reason people are wanting them to lose.  Which is why I think it is silly to be rooting for that.  Because we can all pretend we know what the FO is thinking, but we don't.  So why not just enjoy the moment and the possibility of hosting a playoff game?  Like, what's the point of being a fan of the team if we can't even enjoy moments like this?  Just because of something that MIGHT happen in the offseason?
