I spoke with Armanti Edwards (you won’t recognize him with his dreadlocks gone, by the way) briefly on Tuesday and he talked about having a fresh start in Carolina under new head coach Ron Rivera. Edwards didn’t come out and say it, but it was fairly obvious John Fox wasn’t his biggest fan.

Biggest development of his career.

I really believe we are going to see what he is capable of this season. He SHOULD be in better shape, and shouldnt have to wait on him "to get his legs".

I am glad he will be getting reps with Cam and the second team for a little while.

I watched the kid for four years at ASU and I know what kind of athlete he is and his playmaking capability. But, i may just be being overly optimistic.

Yeah me too... Worried about having so many guys at WR though, hope he isn't another Dexter Jackson type deal.

Hopefully Rivera and Shula recognize the potential he has in a Randle El role.

Also, the more I've heard since Fox left and the Jenkins interview yesterday, it appears that Fox and Hurney weren't so buddy-buddy, and definitely had differences in personnel opinions.

I think Dexter Jackson was a guy with more straight line speed, Armanti has much better feet, field vision, and looser hips.

Hopefully his route running and hands have gotten better.

don't know how he's going to do, but i sure am interested to see what he can do and how they use him.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      It's actually interesting you mention Richardson because I've seen it suggested here Bryce will have 500 or more rushing yards and 5-10 rushing touchdowns this year. And if big Anthony Richardson can get hurt carrying the rock what's that tell you about the practicality of thinking Bryce won't?

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.
