Carolina Panthers’ Picking Joe Adams Makes Armanti Edwards Obsolete

With the 104th pick of the 2012 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select: Joe Adams WR Arkansas. Joe Adams is an explosive Return Man and dynamic WR. There's no doubt that drafting him makes Edwards obsolete, especially since the only contribution Edwards was being allowed to make was at PR, if you called it a contribution. I expect Edwards to be cut soon.

Yeah, I think they give him one more shot at receiver.

Yea, he's going to get a chance to make an impact at WR while being the backup PR. He has a small, very small chance to compete at PR as well. He's not going to win that one though, so his only shot is at WR.

Camp will be interesting this year. We have legit competition in key positions this year. We actually have competition at the return game for the first time in a long time. Giving us good field position with returns only boosts our already hi powered offense. Pilares did well last year, not great, but considering how long its been since we've had decent returns, we took it. I am looking forward to camp, preseason games and offseason.

AE will go into camp as the PR, but I'm sure that the FO's real plans are for Adams to be the PR, so essentially it's Adam's job to lose. AE will be the 3rd or 4th WR, depending on how they view Gettis, on the depth chart going into camp.

    • So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.
    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
