How so?

He was a good college player, but just couldn't cut it in the NFL.  The Panthers gave him a shot, but it didn't work out for him.  Seems to me that if anyone got screwed in the deal, it was the team.

Legend of the college game, sure. Not sure why the Panthers are trying to claim him lol.

Gantt is digging deep for fluff eh?

As an aside everything I've read about Armanti on a personal level has been impressive. I wish him the best.

Gantt being an app grad is the only thing that makes armanti edwards a legend of the game

We even traded up for him I think?  Maybe I'm misremembering.  But yea I remember we even made that "mountaineer package" where it was basically just wildcat with him at qb.

I talked to him a few times during OTAs. He was overwhelmed and told me about it.  Fox had little to do with that draft (he was a lame duck, if you recall) and Hurney did not get his input.  I literally heard Fox put down Clausen while talking to another coach (in Spartanburg later). At that time, he saw Armanti drop a punt from the jugs machine.  He just started shaking his head, walking away.  Nice guy--no better.

Didn't Gantt go to App St.?  I think that could be part of it.

Trading up with NE to select him in the 2nd round.  At that time you didn’t draft non-D1 players out of position that high.  It put unfair expectations on the kid and he couldn’t cut it.  And most of all because fug Hurney.

He was probably overwhelmed because he was playing a position he never played before in the highest level right off the bat

He was given no leeway to learn the position either

Still maintain we should have just played him at QB once Clausen started sucking. He at least would have made plays and been a little exciting which is something Clausen couldn't do
