"Hi! I'm Pantherbob. As you can tell from every post I make, I'm a complete idiot! Hope ya don't mind me talking out my ass, cause that is all I know!"

Yeah bob, fans sure are saying he is steve smith.

He is a play maker. That's what he does. Will he explode in his first year receiving? No. Don't need hin to. The team is going toget this smart, athletic football player every chance to make plays.

Your hate and disgust for this is obvious. Yet ya can't help yourself, keep banging your drum. The off season isn't quite over yet, and you are always good for a laugh!

Who?

Outside of Clausen.Edwards was the FCS The Golden Calf of Bristol.lol

JJ Jansen and his penchant for being good with fans. Talk to him about how the ND fanbase was from his perspective and Clausen's, compared to the Panthers.

Get Kalil's take on USC's issues.

Talk to Tyrell Sutton...get his story out there.

Interview Kerry Collins, ask how he enjoyed being a pariah and getting a DWI when his Saints lost to the previously-winless '98 Panthers. Offer a beer to him.

Get Gantt to talk about Armanti Edwards-wait....

He openly admits he's an Edwards homer so I can forgive him.

It will be interesting to see how Gantt handles things if Edwards performs poorly and/or turns out to be a bust.

So it would seem the main complaint is that Gantt isn't being objective or impartial about Edwards and acts more like a fan than a sportwriter about him.

Like you said, Gantt readily admits to being a homer about Edwards and an alum and fan of App State. So he is likely guilty and readily admits it. It doesn't influence his ability to cover the Panthers or provide good analysis about everyone else.

I think some of us are just tired of hearing about Armanti Edwards.

I am too. I can't wait to see him on the field though. I hope all the hype is still an underestmation of his ability as he learns the position in training camp and through the preseason.

We will probably be disappointed if history holds true. But maybe this is our turn, when a rookie has a breakout year. After all, compared to the last dozen guys we have drafted in order to find a decent receiver, it is about time we hit the jackpot.

Keary Colbert had a really good rookie year. :D

Here is how obvious it is: Read his article

http://www.heraldonline.com/2010/07/09/2301061/panthers-edwards-agree-to-4-year.html

Short article, but he mentions Appalachian State three times, twice identifying the school Edwards attended. If Gantt could grow facial hair, I am sure he'd sport a corncob pipe and Jed Clampett hat.

Move on, Darin. You no longer are the school paper sports stringer.

How many times do you have to mention his school?

second paragraph : "Edwards, the Panthers' third-round pick out of Appalachian State..."

fourth paragraph: "The converted quarterback from Appalachian State..."

fifth (and final) paragraph: "A four-year starter at Appalachian State, Edwards...."

That is not fine, that is homeristic and pathetic journalism. He is name dropping his alma mater like a politician who is behind in the poles gives out bumper stickers.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
