David Clowney waived, yet Armanti makes the team again?

I made this point elsewhere, but I think this deserves its own thread.

I want someone to come up with an argument that David Clowney deserved to be cut over Armanti Edwards based solely on their preseason play. Go ahead, I can't wait to read them.

And before you say "BUT BUT BUT ARMANTI'S CEILING IS THROUGH THE ROOOOOOOOF!!!!" I want you to point to something Armanti Edwards has done since he joined this team that points to him having any kind of high ceiling whatsoever. Don't use anything he did against teams like Elon either, only point to things he's done as a member of the Carolina Panthers.

He sucked last preseason, last regular season, and this preseason. So did Jimmy Clausen and Clausen is nearly universally reviled on this site now (and rightfully so). Why the double standard? The pick we traded for Armanti turned out to be the 33rd overall pick in 2011 draft, while Clausen was picked 48th in 2010. You know some players we could have selected with that 33rd pick this year? Cornerbacks like Marcus Gilchrist or Aaron Williams, both of which have torn it up this preseason. How about Da'Quan Bowers? Ugh, it just sickens me.

I will never understand all the love for Clowney on these boards. He was cut by Green Bay, he was cut by the Jets, and did not prove anything last year. If you watched Hard Knocks the special teams coach couldn't stand him on the Jets. Armatni hasn't played WR since High School, people are so impatient. It has been one season and Fox gave him not shot. Clowney is not good.

I don't "love" David Clowney, don't try to muddy my argument. I'm simply saying that he was CLEARLY better than Armanti Edwards was. That's all.

This is Armanti's year that his pick was used. He's had exactly one lameduck year to progress. Clowney has had one 4 years in the league and has done a whole lot of jack sh!t. Armanti has shown more flashes this preseason at two positions than Clowney has. Clowney caught one long pass against 3rd stringers whoopy.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
