Tentative apology to Armanti Edwards

Armanti,

Last season, when you were struggling to field a punt return, I was on the bandwagon to be down on you.

When you were dropping passes and looked like a deer in the headlights, I was down on you.

It was really hard to watch knowing we gave up some great picks to bring you in.

But man... your performance tonight was a 180 degree turn around... if you can keep this up well into the regular season... please accept my apology for writing you off too soon.

Your refocus and rededication to effort looks like it might pay dividends. We're watching you with a little more optimism. Keep up the good work.

He looked pretty good tonight and I would bet he'll continue to improve and contribute. Seems like a great guy and he's from my alma mater, so I'm rooting for him.

Why we traded up to get him where we did remains one of the greatest mysteries in the history of the NFL draft, though.

the lesson every fan needs to learn from this is not to be a knee-jerk buttplug about every "stupid" move that an experienced professional GM makes. every once in a while it turns out these guys have a better idea of what they're doing than we do.

You might be jumping the gun. We've seen 1 pretty good preseason game. Also, to quote myself,

"Why we traded up to get him where we did remains one of the greatest mysteries in the history of the NFL draft, though."

Has this been solved?

no decision is beyond question, and certainly not that one.

but the reaction was lemur-like.

and if armanti puts together a couple of good games and scores some TDs, those same lemurs will be scrambling back up the cliff and ...uh... hmmm

ok animal analogies suck. armanti is a boss and everyone should lol at the idiots who crucified him and hurney.

I love him as our punter returner. He looks so natural at it. I'm not yet sold on him as a receiver yet, although he did sit down in that zone pretty well, with that strike by Cam.

I was pleasantly surprised at how comortable he looked at WR. The "drop" I can forgive, with the DB under his arms - I think Andre Johnsnon makes that catch, but probably not DeShaun Jackson, for example. He also would've had a TD if Cam hadn't overshot him by 10 feet (by far Cam's worst throw of the night, unless I missed something and Armanti got jammed at the line).

I think the lemurs would still like their 2nd rounder back (as it was completely unnecessary to give up for Armanti, who we would've gotten anywhere in the draft), but I hear you, and I think he'll be pretty good too.

Everyone seemed to be saying that the N.E. Patriots were going to take Armanti their next pick. Was that not the case.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.

      They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.

      Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
