Is A. Edwards on the wrong side of the ball?

Given that we are short help in the secondary, this kid has speed and athleticism, can we move him to the secondary?

I know its too late at this point in the season, but if they have plans for keeping this kid, because obviously they see something I don't. Lets try to use him the way the Patriots use J. Edelman (also a former College quarterback). Edelman has been on special teams, offense, and defense this season.

I'm not saying that the kid would be a starter, but at least a capable backup.

Educate me!

AE needs to go to Canada and be a QB. That's no hate. He is one of the most dynamic qb's I have ever seen in college. He is not a wr. He needs to go and produce and maybe somebody will give him a chance to play qb in the nfl one day. (the moon flutie route). He was probably the best qb on the team last year but never got a chance and never will get a chance unless he goes up north and proves himself.

I apologize if you guys think this was a weak post. Remember, I have to try to watch Panther games over 2nd hand internet, because of my present financial situation. I have only seen 1 Edwards return for big yardage and that was called back. I think that was the Detroit game. I'm just wondering can we get more value from him as a player, than just punt return. I figure if he doesn't find a position this season, he gets cut at the end of the season. It's just like musical chairs. If the Panthers draft that CB from LSU, Edwards will be losing that punt return job.

He has had the most success as the "wildcat" QB, and I think it's fair to see him as a serviceable backup in the QB position. His play at App was similar to Cams, much more so than Pickles (a bigger disappointment than AE IMHO).

He needs to develop more as a WR if the "wildcat" is where they want him to contribute. I see no reason to cut him from the team while he's still in development. Our receiving core is currently strong enough to give a spot for him to develop next year. As for cutting him, that should be decided in 2013.

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I dont think people realize how hard it is to find a consistent starting QB in the NFL. Byrce will not heart us to a SB but I do think he can manage to get us one or close..go all in on defense and change the Offensive passing game and play calls. I really think our biggest problem is our HC.  Take New Orleans QB for example, switch him and Bryce and I promise you it'll look similar or worse. New Orleans OC is levels ahead of Canales. And as far as the draft goes, in this division with as much rb talent as we face ..the answer...this guy:    Pick up a couple edge rushers in FA along with a corner and plug this guy in Rozeboom's spot. Defense solved. But only if we get a top tier rusher on that dline....jus saying

      World cup ticket prices

      I think I'm going to the game in Los Angeles vs Paraguay, and the England / Croatia game here in Dallas since my mom is British.  For decent seats anywhere in the building(s) it looks like it will be upwards of $7k for the two games.  Insane. Just for perspective, you could buy field level EPL tickets for any one of the top sides in the league, and it would be 10% of the price you'll pay for crappy seats at the World Cup.

      Meh… I knew this thread would turn into a Bryce/Tua comparison, when they couldn’t be further apart situations.   Dolphins catered there whole offense toward Tua, they brought in a coach that would run a Tua friendly offense, the went in got the best most explosive WR in the NFL and paired him the fastest WR in that years draft. Panthers have done the opposite, they went and got a Pete Carroll disciple who likes to run the ball under center, they drafted big slow WR who got little separation in college. Literally the polar opposite of Bryce’s scouting report coming out of Alabama.   Tua was a decent QB 2 years ago, but the concussions, lack of movement have caught up to him. He never had a great arm to begin with but now since he doesn’t want to get hit he’s taking the whole offense down with him.
