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.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
