The guy is just not that talented. I like him, he seems to work his butt off but we gave up way too much for him. Mark him under lesson learned and move on. I know I have.

I think it depends on what you mean by talent. If we're talking athleticism standards, I think Armanti has NFL level athleticism in terms of what he can do when he gets the ball in his hands. His obstacle will be actually getting the ball in his hands. He's just stuck in a rut because he isn't a QB converted WR with, say, Brad Smith type size. It's the same reason Randle El hasn't been able to make a consistent impact...Pittsburgh just did the right things with the talents he had for a few years.

I don't think Armanti will be a mainstay, but I don't think he should be undermined in terms of what he's accomplished so far.

Yeah Randle El is an inch shorter than him...

This debate wouldn't even be here had he not had been a stretch by hurney. If we got him in the 5th or 6th people wouldn't have ill will towards him but since we reached and got him( which is hurney not Armanti )people expect to much.

Give the guy 3/4 years if he is still dropping passes / not seeing the field or hadn't had a touchdown then we can label him a bust.. until then chill out and let the dude develop.

We let Drew Carter , Dwayne Jarrett and Kerry Colbert stay here for 4 years . They came drafted as wide receivers expected to perform, not a project that they needed to develop .. so I doubt he's gone in 3.

That had more to do with a lack of talent in front of those subject players.

Put this on Hurney if you want, he did draft 3 receivers in the same year.

You're right. He's gone in two unless the light comes on in a BIG way, and pretty soon.

Ron isn't a patient man.

Has an average of 10 yards over 4 games !!!!! And we let one of the best punt and kick return in the Big East two years ago Go !!!!!! SMDH

His 10 yard return against the Saints was the longest one they have given up all season...not even the mighty Devin Hester did that

If he coud actually get some blocking, he would be doing a lot better
