He was a college QB who was drafted and had to learn a completely different position.  And the WR position is widely said to be one of the most difficult positions to learn/master in the NFL.

i would have answered that guy's question myself, but i figured if he is dumb enough to ask it, he probably can't register enough brain power to figure something like that out even if explained to him.  he has been asked to do things he hasnt ever done and assumed he can switch and learn a new position on the fly quickly.  i don't expect much from him, but i wouldn't be surprised that if he catches on to playing wr, that he could make an impact.

edwards played wide receiver in high school. he didn't switch to qb until his senior year.

 

the jump from high to to nfl is big, but playing wide receiver is nothing new to him.

I am all aboard the Armanti Train!  We as a group here on the huddle have eviscerated, neutered, beaten, slandered, demeaned, taken behind the woodshed, disowned and whatever other bad thing you can do to some one via the internet to this poor kid all because some idiot in the front office over drafted him and put him in a position to fail.  Well it looks to me like the kid is ready to prove some people wrong.  And I will be one of the first to say, I'm sorry and I'm glad we have him.  Good luck Armanti!

it is when you dont play it for 5 years, are somewhat undersized and playing against professional defenders.  nfl routes compared to high school, the speed and timing, there is no comparison.

Well to be fair last season we were getting camp tweets about armanti making spectacular grabs that didn't show up in the preseason. There wasn't this many but, there was quite a few. That said I hope he has turned the corner, I know he hasn't done well but I root for the guy. When he broke that long punt return I went nuts. He's a good kid and hope he gets the best.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By cranky · Posted

      First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????

      Give Legette another season?

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By cranky · Posted

      Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
