Armanti "Boss of the South" Edwards


Fiz

Recommended Posts

For Christs sake people...No one hated Armanti. They hated we gave up a 3rd and the #1 pick in the 2nd round for him. Oh they also probably hated the App Fanboys which did more damage to him on here than Armantis lackluster rookie debut

I believe you and Zod both referred to 1AA football as "high school".

Let Cam Newton touch the ball 4 times this year, and then sit the bench the rest of the year, and he'll have a "lackluster rookie debut", as well.

According to the wise:

Jimmy - Bust

LaFell - Continued Bust

Cam "the best thing that has ever happened to any team with any owner with every coach in any situation anywhere in the world everywhere, instant HOF, All Pro, Pro Bowler, Triple Crown, 4 time Super Bowl Champ, Heisman lifetime winner, poster child for the NFL, face on every cereal box, knighted by King George the VIII, pope second time running, all you can eat buffet, Favre's son, mega-warrior" Newton - HOF

Everybody Else - Win

You forgot "Cy Young and Hart Trophy winner, multiple winner of the 'EGOT', recipient of the coveted 'Cam Newton' award, and host of the Nobel, Pulitzer, and Peabody winning 'Teh Cam Show', featured on every network (TV and radio) from 7-9 nightly.

It is.

You are the reason people "hate" on Armanti not Armanti.

That's an outright stupid comment. The only reason that the App homers were so outspoken and obnoxious was because you and a few others were the loudest retards on the block with the Edwards bashing from the moment he was drafted. It's just a counter balance to your hate.

at the time, nobody knew it was going to be the 33rd pick.

If he becomes a starter in this league..hell, even if he becomes a reliable 3rd option, he'll be worth it.

It does not matter. He much like Brown have a much higher standard to live up to, mind you that neither have done so.

What pick was he drafted at, and what is the highest possible pick that we would have gotten the next year in the 2nd?

Swag at its best

We're renaming Swag to "Newtons."

I knew I left some stuff out. Hard to keep up with 'ol Newton.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
