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

    • All you can control is the opponents in front of you. Besides, I would rather see a regular G5 participant in the playoffs than a C-Tier P4 team that conclusively proved they couldn't win when it mattered. 
    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
