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.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      Even if he beats the odds, returns midseason  and plays like he did last year it won’t warrant a big contract extension.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth
