Bill Bellichick called...

[blackcatgrowl]

He offered to take AE off our hands if we also threw in our 3rd rounder.

I think Hurney will bite.

Don't tease us Zod. That's not nice.

[bleys]

Very much a valid point. I would not say "freak athlete" to describe Armanti Edwards. He's fast and has great vision. You can see that in his college tape when he pulls down the ball and finds open seams to run through. As a natural Moose possesion type receiver, I don't think that type of athleticism will translate well. But for a Wes welker slot receiver type role, where he can use his speed, quickness, and vision to find soft spots, that may be a possibility.

Bottom line: I think he has tremendous upside, and potential that might not be reached for another 3 years or so. But if you look at the big picture, I think this team is going to be ready to seriously compete in 2-3 years, and if that's when he blossoms into a contributor, it could be perfect timing.

successful drafts from here on out will ensure that..

[carolinarolls]

the reason why armanti is hated so much is because the price we paid for him was too much

it's clearly his fault that we reached for him and this season is all on him

we should have won the superbowl THIS YEAR if we traded up to get what we think will be a dual-no possible triple threat for us in the next two years.

every player in the league is supposed to produce year one

there is no such thing as a project

since AE is obviously a complete failure we should dump him asap

Meat: Does your GM bite?

Zod: No.

Meat: (Goes to pet Hurney, gets the hell bit out of him.)

Meat: I thought you said your GM does not bite?

Zod: Zat is not my GM.

Interesting thought, what would Belichick do with AE?

[therealmjl]

I think AE still has a chance to be special. In his limited action, and touches I have seen a good burst of speed and some elusiveness.

Not sure if you meant that to be sarcastic, but I would say I completely disagree.

My analogy is a high school football team. Do you really expect freshman to come in and play right away on varsity, let a lone play well? It takes time to learn the ways, get your body in the right shape, etc.

[Lumps]

what do we get in return?

He is taking AE....can you not read?

[CarolinaSock]

I don't understand what's so different between his "athleticism" and any number of returners/raw receivers we could have had in the 4th and up rounds.

[WilkinsonDonnie]

Not only that, can you detect sarcasm at all?

As for AE, I say give him another year developing at WR, but until then he looks like he will follow the likes of Dexter Jackson. Practice squad fodder then eventual release. Though, I think AE has more talent, the only way we will get anything from him is if he is used like Brad Smith is for the Jets. Still surprised Hurney is keeping his job after such a horrible pick. Sorry I could keep rambling on how much I hate AE, but dinner is done:cool:

[jmclovin]

are we capable of performing an effective wild cat offense? as bad as our offense was at many times this season i was actually wishing we would give it a shot.

[jmclovin]

to be honest i was more excited with the edwards pick than any other in the draft. that said, i have to keep believing that someone so gifted who is a winner can do something for our team.

he was clearly being sarcastic.. lol

[nosuchthingasapanther]

how can u make judgement on armanti after 1 season, he did not get to play much and was forced to learn an entirly different position. You guys had a hard on for Jarret for 2 years before u turned on him.

i tagged jarrett a bust before his rookie season was over.

edwards is a bust because he will not live up to the expectation and hype that people think he will achieve.

it'll be a miracle if he ever becomes a decent return man.

jarrett had no heart...edwards has no nerve.
