Where are all the AE lovers?

I think he's talking about watching Armanti at app.

Yeah, you're righ my bad. Armanti did play from 2006-2009 however if I'm not mistaken.

[Kevin Greene]

Honestly, with Vicks performance last night I figured there would be a dozen threads on the front page about how he needs to play QB for us because he was better at App than Vick was at VT. Instead, all morning and nada.

I'm really disappointed. In both of you.

Who would the both be?

I'm just going to ask a question, I really mean no disrespect or sarcasm in any way.

Armanti "Homers", at least what I can tell by the bulk of their posts, seem to write as if his "Haters" actually hate Armanti Edwards.

Do any of you unsupportive of him playing QB actually "hate" the man like others have made it sound like? Or just favor the fact that he was drafted to play WR, and all his time should be used learning his new position? That would not be unreasonable at all.

Personally, this is how I look at it. We know Armanti Edwards is an athlete, whether at QB or WR. As a 2nd round pick (technically 3rd), and due to the current disaster of a season, why not see just what we have in this project? Get him 5-10 snaps a game behind center and see what he can do with just a couple plays practiced as a quarterback. If we don't try something, we will never know just what we have. If it's disaster, then the experiment is over with and he goes back to WR core and as a return man. If he makes the most of his chances, then we at the very least have something entertaining to look forward to on Sunday's. Armanti making a couple plays with with arm and legs would benefit everyone on this offense.

This being said, it could just be Fox and Davidson and company throwing in the towel and once again showing their stubbornness to try something new and unpredictable.

Though difficult to determine without having any certainty of who our next Head Coach will be, do you think the next man will at least incorporate AE into the offense in more ways than just one? After all, he is under contract and cheap.

I hate Hurney giving up what will ostensibly be the 33rd pick this year for Edwards.

That's all.

I agree that they need to get him on the field. I want to see him returning some punts and kickoffs and even throw him the ball a few times. The Panthers have more to lose with Armanti than they do with Clowney. Clowney has made some nice grabs but I think its time to give Armanti a turn.

No your not mistaken, but I've seen Richie Williams and now DeAndre Pressley play since 2005 and AE developed the most since he has been there out of the 3.

I've liked Armanti since the 1st time I saw him play. I know he can be great in this league...but a 33rd pick for him is crazy. Hurney must have really liked something about him. I just don't understand why hes not getting any chances, especially with how bad this team is.

I have nothing to add just showing off my new sig

My issue with the AE-at-QB is that it could set back his development at WR. I want him to have success, and I honestly believe WR is his best bet... But since we are now "stocked" at WR as far as young WRs go, I don't think it would hurt to have him take QB snaps, because he isn't getting on the field at any other position no matter how much we want him to.

If Clausen doesn't play, I would not be surprised if AE was our #2 QB and he ran a lot of plays.

At 5' 11" and 180lbs I don't know how many blind sides anyone who wants Edwards at the QB position thinks he can take.

Even a speedster like Vick outweighs him by 35lbs.

[woody]

I feel like he would get hurt just as easy coming across the middle to catch a pass playing slot or even returning kicks/punts. I think everybody at least wants to see what he can do at any postition at this point of the season.

Properly coached a WR should know when the zone is coming and protect himself at times.

Wait.

Somehow Smitty survives and thrives. Let's face it, some of the little guys can take a hit and some of the big players are as delicate as ballerinas or professional soccer players.

Give him a shot. He's still got the most upside of any potential QB we have on the roster.

Right here!
