(Obnoxious ASU alum hat off, reporter hat on)

On his online journal, Appalachian State QB Armanti Edwards said the Panthers were showing more interest than any other NFL team.

The diminutive passer might need to be a WR at the next level, as many view him as a slot receiver and return man.

But Edwards said the Panthers have scheduled a private workout for him on March 18, two days after his pro day workout for all teams. There, he'll work as both a passer and a receiver.

"The Panthers have been showing a good amount of interest, more than any team," Edwards wrote on the website.

He said New England and Jacksonville have also asked for workouts, along with Indianapolis.

Edwards, who led the Mountaineers to two national titles, left school as the only player in NCAA Division I history with more than 10,000 passing yards and 4,000 rushing yards.

Booooooo.

Hey newflash, 3rd QB is inactive except when the first 2 QB's get hurt.

So he would have to be on the roster as a WR or RB or ST guy to get active playing time.

lol maybe the dolphins will ridiculously overdraft a gimmick QB again this year.

lol and maybe the panthers will just settle with inferior WRs and QB again this year....or let a all pro DE walk away.....or trade a 1st round pick for a decent DE.......shall i continue?

*FTR i HATE the pat white pick.

Armanti has become an AWESOME qb. I'm currently a student @ app state & I've watched him for all 4 years he's been here. I'd say draft him in the late 4th or 5th round. Plus, (not saying start this WR) but we now have Dexter Jackson which was Armanti's weapon here @ ASU

And if it works in Bush League college football it's bound to work in the NFL!!!!:beatdeadhorse5::beatdeadhorse5:

Here's a question, if he had never gone to App St...would this even be a thread? Would we even know who he is? Don't let homerism blind you. It takes a special QB to be successful while being small. If you think he's as talented as Brees, well...good for you. I don't think he is.

Now...another position? Sure. Draft him as a project. As an NFL QB? No thanks.

im from florida, i have no feelings towards app state. i am a gator fan. i just frequent this board often since i now live here, and it was a story involving my team and the panthers....so yes. yes it would still be a thread

Booooooo.

the panthers had a lof of interest in Pat white last year now Edwards..why?

[KatsAzz]

With all the holes the Panthers have created on their defense, and needing a WR, I don't think the Panthers have the draft picks to draft a QB (at least before the 7th round). Edwards only measuring 5-11 at the Combine, and not running the 40 has moved him down the draft list, to the fringe of the 7th round. If Edwards is undrafted, hooking on with the Panthers could be a great move for him.

With the Panthers probably drafting at least in the top 10 in 2011, if Matt Moore doesn't workout this year, the Panthers will be drafting a QB in the 2011 1st round. That will probably prevent the Panthers from drafting a QB this year, unless it's at the end of the draft.

As drastically as the Panthers are cutting cost, I don't think they will spend much on a veteran backup QB ($1 million or less) this year, so it may take awhile. I don't think in any way the Panthers will pay anything like the 49ers (David Carr) or Rams (A. J. Feeley) did, at $3 million per season.

How many times have we seen the Panthers "show a lot of interest" in a player only to use them as a smoke screen?

I wont buy into any of the hype. The QB they do draft they will make sure there is little known of their intentions.

IMO

That kinda scares me when I think about it.

Could be used as a mix between Seneca Wallace and Brad Smith.

Yes. The kid threw for 10,000+ yards and ran for 4,000+ yards for a total of 139 touchdowns. He led his team to 2 National Championships in the division just below I-A. Helped his team beat Michigan IN the Big House. He set the I-AA QB rushing record for 1 game(in the playoffs, no less) against Richmond with 313 yards and 4 touchdowns on 31 carries! A two time recipient of the Walter Payton Award.

You think a player with those credentials wouldn't get a look from NFL teams?

[dimbee]

I don't want him here if he is a one trick pony who wouldn't be able to take over as a starting QB. Maybe as a punt returner, DB. Like I said He is strictly an athlete and teams will only look at him as a project

See the stats above. "One trick ponies" don't put up those stats. :thumbsup:

thats just their style man...

When have we ever know what this Franchise was up too?

Fans are kept in the dark, thats just the way it is.
