I want to eat Crow.

[Ivan The Awesome]

If you didn't know, I am one of the folks that criticized Armanti. I realize he was put in a bad position, realize he was set up to fail with fox and company. Now, everything I hear about the guy makes me feel like he just may be worth that 2nd round draft pick given up for him. I'm still measuring my excitement about the guy. This is why I want to eat crow, prove me wrong Armanti. Prove me wrong. Here's an Interview I found. He's a very humble young man.

she uses one sheet, not sure you want to eat that.

I dont think you will be eating crow.I wish the best for him but there is no excuse for drafting him where we did.Really no way to quantify who we could have picked but he would more than likely have been starting last year and this one as well.

[Urrymonster]

Ummmm, he still hasn't played a proper game...

[PantherBrew]

I am the biggest Armanti homer/believer here, and I am still not fully convinced he is going to be worth a 2nd rounder.

I believe when he has his first 100 yard game in the regular season, then it could be time for some crow. Or punt return TD.

[Sam Mills Fan]

I like what I'm hearing about Armanti too, but Rivera said he hasn't stepped up and the list of training camp receiver beasts we've had in the past is a mile long. Taye Biddle, Jason Carter, Kenny Moore anyone?

[Doyle]

I'm pulling for him but I also think he has to do something in an actual game to get excited.

[bigjohn]

I'm a big Armanti homer too, no doubt. I think he'll eventually get there, but I'm tempering my excitement until game time.

I knew he was a humble kid, a great kid, very hard worker. That part has never been in doubt for me. Making the transition to WR and PR is a huge step-- I think eventually he will make it, but it'll most likely be another year before we really see it. And that's ok-- I don't see us pushing for a division title this year anyway. Let him grow with our other young receivers and QBs.

I will say this after watching him play in college for 4 years (and after watching a LOT of college football live in the last 20 years).... he's one of those players that had "it". You know there are some tremendous athletes that get the job done and put up huge numbers, and then there are some that make plays at just the right moment or carry their team when the chips are down. Armanti was one of those players.

Anywho, I've been a big supporter since he was drafted but I'm not ready to say he's ready for the starting lineup yet.

[carolinarolls]

We don't serve crow just because somebody makes a knee-jerk reaction and spouts off a bunch of dim-witted comments about someone they don't know anything about.

There simply is not enough crow.

[smash_n_dash]

I believe he'll be more valuable as a return man than as a receiver this year. Perhaps the end of the season he might start excelling at WR but that isn't at the top of my list right now. All he needs to do is catch a punt and run for his life.
