Armanti Edwards Progression Thread

[Fox007]

Won't be in the league much longer, there isn't much room on a team for a player who can't play WR or return kicks for poo.

Especially a team with no depth like ours.

still looking in that post for when i said i was an ASU fan

because on this site, if noone has anything with substance to add you get trolled by people who assume the worst about you or make up crap and then attack you for it.

[Donald LaFell]

His good return was due to an illegal block.... ASU homers make me lol. How do you still defend this guy???

Radio said the block in the back didn't even matter. Which made the penalty all the more unfortunate.

Of course, cause this board is filled with know it all "fans" who say the sky is falling every time we have a bad game, and everybody on our team sucks

trying to start a positive thread and it gets shot down, thats pathetic.

Ummm what? You said he was showing improvement but like I said before, he is 51st in the NFL in PR yards.He might not be worth a roster spot but he defintly isn't worth a 2nd... Sorry if the truth hurts your feelings though.

Unless the Panthers draft a legitimate dynamic punt returner, Armanti will have one more year next season to prove himself. Well, I forgot about Brandon Hogan. He may be given the opportunity to steal the job. Whoever it is, it won't be all on them. The whole punt return unit needs to get their act together. Better protection and blocking is going to be needed. Hopefully they can get it together.

[Lumps]

Put him in the offense and see what he can do with some game time. Stop this PR crap, he's a third rounder with a year under his belt I am sure he knows a few routes. Personally, I don't think he'll be around for long.

[Xrated]

As much as I would like him to stay and be a good player... I think this is his last year as a NFL player! Unless a team signs him to see his QB skills.

[Jump Zone]

I think he has shown some improvement this year. My feeling is that he needs to break one or two before the season ends or he'll be replaced next year.

[Carolina Fan]

hahaha, First year actually returning punts and hes yet to fumble or make ANY mistakes

But because he's not as good as the 4-5 people who can actually return non-fluke punts back for TDs he doesn't deserve to be on any NFL team?

Lets not forget his first year compared to this year, he improved enormously sooo i HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt he will not be playing for a NFL team next year.

he is ranked 27th actually, on considered the worst special teams by far.

there two people who have returned more then 1 punt for a touch down this year.

One holds the record for most PR TDs in a season (Hester) and the other one is a rookie who has proven him self to be the next Hester.

I'm an App graduate and I love Armanti for everything he has done for ASU, but I don't understand the love he gets from some Panther fans. It was a bad decision for us to draft him where we did, let alone to trade up. I always thought his best quality in college was slipping through tackles. Note I didn't say breaking tackles, but slipping. He never ran over anyone, but just kinda side stepped them. That is a very hard quality to translate from FCS to the NFL.

He has shown improvement from last year. I think he looks much more comfortable fielding punts, but in reality he isn't a threat for a big return. I hate people saying he is a bust, sucks and whatever else because I have so much respect for him, but if I wasn't an App guy I would probably being saying the same thing.

[bleys]

I really want to believe he'll get it sooner than later.. but I've come to the conclusion it'll be later rather than sooner..

much later.
