Unless Armanti is now our number 2 receiver, I don't see what all the hype is about. I hear he's impressing in camp, that's great. However, we are talking about practice man. Practice! Now, we got a game coming up. Armanti better put up good numbers to back up the attemtion.

That sounds like a statement from someone who has never played a sport.

When Allen Iverson made that statement he was a veteran point guard with Philadelphia, not a 4th year receiver who is still learning the position he is playing.

You only get better through practice, and while AE needs to prove himself in actual competition; don't you think it's better that he actually looks good in practice rather than like a second round bust?

What team picks up AE if he gets cut by us?  You people are living in La-la land.

 

AE is the tallest midget, congratulations.

 

Nice guy, has a problem with lawnmowers, whatever.

 

If he went to Azusa Pacific, none, and I mean NONE of you would be defending this player.

 

UNLESS HE SHOWS HIS ASS ALL PRESEASON, HE IS WHO WE THOUGHT HE WAS.

 

Let's talk in September.

 

When/if he proves me wrong I will eat something.  My choice, not yours.

It doesn't matter where he went to school and it doesn't matter what his name is... the fact is that he has shown up in camp and earned high praises from everyone in the organization...

People continue to right that off and that's fine and dandy, but why in God's name are people not at least hoping the guy succeeds. Hell, people even pull for David Gettis even though he has looked awful in camp.

Every year all of you b*tch about our receiving corp... Now Edwards has a chance to make it better and all everyone can say is "wait until preseason when he disappears."

Literally this is what the huddle sounds like...

- "I wish we would finally get good receivers or someone on the roster would step up"

*Armanti Edwards has a fantastic training camp.

- "I guarantee you he won't do it during actual games."

People on the huddle are more worried about getting to say I told you so in an argument then actually thinking about what it would mean to the team if Armanti and the rest of the guys (Ginn, Hixon, etc.) step up.

Can't wait for the day some of you clowns have to admit you were wrong about Edwards.

lol you registered to post this

the downside to armanti breaking out will be the influx of app state alumni who've been waiting for years to nut all over messages boards about the GOAT

I HOPE world peace will be achieved. It however, wont. Such is true of AE. At best, AE is a 30 catch, 250 yard, 2 TD a year WR. Excuse me for not fapping to that. If he was John Doe from any college outside of NC, nobody on this fourm would give two shits about him,.nevermind defend him and his practice.squad talent.

What an ignorant post.

First I would like to preface by saying that I can't stand App State because I work for a fellow FCS football team.

Secondly, how on earth do you know AE can't become a decent WR3? Are you a fortune teller or something?

Why would you not defend him? He is on the Carolina Panthers... Are you a Panthers fan or just a Cam fan?

FWIW I am not from the Carolinas and until we drafted him I had no clue who Armanti Edwards was as I watch very little college ball, especially outside the PAC-12. So I've always thought a D2 QB-to-WR project was an EXTREME reach for what was given up and for where he was picked. I've also been skeptical about any breakout season because when I've heard good things, he's eventually poo the bed. But this year feels different because everyone...Smitty, Olsen, Rivera, everyone has said nothing but great things. So I'm guardedly optimistic and hopeful. So from someone completely unbiased from a local college standpoint, I hope he can tear poo up.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
