Reed: WR Armanti Edwards anxious for a clean slate with new coaching staff

[chef17]

Why don't you tell us how you really feel.

I'm guessing you never saw him play or you would know that he is fast and quick. As far as sure handed, he was a freaking QB. He didn't need to be sure handed. He had never even thought about returning punts until Fox put him there in mini's. That is not a skill you can't pick up learning it in the NFL. It needs to be taught starting in high school or earlier. As far as the pick, he shouldn't have been picked where he was using a trade but that was not his fault so I'm not going to spew hate because of that. :nonod:

Now for the real post. For the love of God please cut him. Even if he becomes the second coming he will never get a fair shot with the hater fans here. He will be picked up by another team and will get playing time. If you are a fan of his then you should be happy that he is playing, no matter where it is. If you are like many posters on here and hate him then you should be thrilled to have him gone.

Don't think for a second that he doesn't know what is said about him on these boards and by the fans. I watched him from the sidelines for 4 years and he is a great kid both on and off the field. He tried so hard last year, at times too hard, and made mistakes. He knows that and wants to make up for it but also wants to be at a place where he is wanted. The easiest way to kill a person's self confidence is to cut him to pieces all the time with hate. No player in last years draft had to make a bigger position change than he did and with the great coaching he had it's no wonder he had a difficult time. I knew this was going to happen as soon as the Panthers drafted him. The Panthers are my team but I will support AE no matter if he stays or goes because of the person he is.

I hope you don't honestly believe that. If he becomes a great player he will be cheered. If not he will be booed. Simple as that.

Second coming and most were poor choices of words. My own disappointment showing through, I guess (of course the second coming would be cheered) but I do believe the quote, to a point. I know most haters would turn but there are a few who hate all things Edwards, App State, Boone and in general that they will continue to hate no matter what he does. Look at all the hate for someone who has never really been given a chance considering what he had to learn. Even killers and drunks who drive got equal or less hate than this kid. Most came from the trade and I agree it was wrong but I also think all the vitroil was heaped on a kid who didn't ask for or deserve it. I just think he should be given a chance before things like worst pick and biggest bust of all time are thrown at him.
