Panthers keep Pike, waive QB Hunter Cantwell

I don't know that I agree Squirrel... I think that he is probably already learning some base packages to take advantage of his talents, why not throw him a few more plays so that he could be used as an emergency QB and open up another spot on the roster?

I don't think that will hurt his development as a WR.

and when you are down to the emergency qb doesn't matter what you run cause you're just trying to make it to the end of the game. if edwards was to play qb in a game i think you would see more of a spread type offense esp on passing downs to take advantage of the run or pass option

I guess if Amanti is the emergency 3rd QB, then he would be active most game days? And having some role on the field?

he would be active as WR but playing QB. once you play your emer qb all other qb's would not be able to come back into the game

Active at WR or fielding punts, or both. I assume that would then affect the other WRs who would be active. In other words, does the fact that Edwards can play QB automatically result in his activation every week, at whose expense?

Bengals claimed QB Dan LeFevour off waivers from the Bears definitely makes me think they would have went after Pike if we cut him..

Gantt retweeted a tweet from Hunter Cantwell's father saying the Ravens have signed Hunter.

Just ran across this and not sure where to put this ,and it doesn't warrant it's own post (may have been posted a while ago, but I couldn't find it).

An old article by Pat Kirwin, titled "Clausen, Pike have most upside..."

So many of the quarterbacks in this draft class come from programs that run the spread offense. Some of them struggle to take a snap under center and really have never had to read coverages the way an NFL quarterback has to on every snap. Clausen won't struggle because he comes from a traditional NFL-type offense, and the more prepared a QB is when he first steps on the field goes a long way to creating a path for success. But a guy who impressed me at the Senior Bowl and again when I watched his game tapes, especially the one against Oregon State (31 of 49, 332 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT), is Pike of Cincinnati. He is tall (6-foot-6), mobile, a good decision-maker, and still developing his trade.

He needs some physical strength development, which NFL people will tell you is the easiest thing to fix. Pike threw 49 touchdown passes in 19 starts at Cincinnati could be the next Joe Flacco.
