The jokes about Armanti Edwards are going to come to a screeching halt.

Not only has Edwards (@armantiedwards) looked good as a receiver and punt returner, but Head Coach Ron Rivera stated that he’s excited about what Edwards has done thus far in camp.

“With what Armanti has done and some of the things he is showing us, he deserves an opportunity,” Rivera said on Thursday. “We’ll find places to put him on the field. I’m real excited about him, real intrigued by his abilities.”

we finally have a coach that knows how to utilize dynamic players. I wasn't a fan of the armanti pick but I'm excited that he's improved

besides helping the Panthers, the biggest reason I want to see him succeed is to shut that fugstick John Fox up. legit feel bad for Denver fans that they have to put up with him for the next couple years.

I've always been impressed with AE's speed and elusiveness on the field, but his hands were unreliable. If he's improved his hand-eye coordination, and it appears he has, then of course he needs to be on the field. I'm looking forward to seeing him in pre-season, which is fast approaching.

once again i cant help but lol at the idiots who mercilessly crucified hurney over not getting production out of a first year project player

if he blows up and ends up being a pro-bowler the mods should go back and find out who the biggest loudmouths were and permanently change their avatars to really gay stuff

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
