It's That Time Again... The Armanti Thread

First, yes, I'm a homer.

Now, AE didn't get in the game until the third quarter. Clausen was already in the game, so other than two kick returns (total of 45 yards), he didn't have much of an opportunity to be evaluated. If you look at just stats, he looked pretty good on kick returns and was fourth in receiving yards (one pass caught). I don't think anyone can say from this limited time on the field that he has made improvement or not-- other than what has been observed at camp. Perhaps if he gets some time with on the field with someone other than Clausen we could see if he has what it takes or not.

As a Panthers fan I want to see the best guy out there and if it isn't AE, so be it. With this said, I don't think I saw enough of anyone to start feeling like anybody is a lock -- except maybe for SS.

And unlike many of the crazy fans and haters on this board, I'm confident that the coaches will pick the best players and if we see AE make the cut, he deserved it. It won't be because they are just trying to piss everybody off. At this point he's been given all of the chances one could expect, so it is what it is.

Of course, I was going to add that AE would be better at QB than Clausen, but then I realized that I would be better than Clausen. At 5'9", 150, I could easily be sacked every other play and I probably wouldn't complete any passes. I'd also go 3 and out regularly. See, just like Clausen.

Great post and objectivity.

Man, I would love it if they just moved Armanti to the #3 QB spot and cut Clausen, but it just doesn't seem realistic at this point considering all of the time and effort they've put into developing him as a WR.

It brings up an interesting question though... Would he be worth keeping around as the third QB/utility guy over Clausen? YES, without a doubt. We've already been running packages for him in camp IIRC as the QB in wildcat packages. And as unrealistic as it seems, Chud is so creative and Clausen is so horrible, I could see it being a possibility.

I agree that Armanti did look a tad bit better, but, the thing is, there's only a certain number of spots available to him on the roster.

With our WRs looking something like:

WR1: Smitty

WR2: LaFell

WR3: Murphy/Gettis

WR4: Gettis/Murphy

WR5: AE

WR6: Adams (KR/PR)

Where is there room for him?

you guys really need start thinking outside of the box on some of this stuff

One would think that the coaches have it on their to-do list to address the Clausen situation and one would also think that the AE scenario has come up--- a guy that could be a #3 QB and could be used elsewhere-- good use of a roster spot that is usually wasted on a pure quarterback. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised to see another veteran QB brought in if they really do decide to drop Clausen.

For all the hate AE gets here, people seem to be fine with Clausen on the roster. I don't get it.

What??

Jimmy has his own "Clausen Sucks" thread right now...

Yeah because it took another flat out embarrassing performance from him to remind people again.

In the offseason there were quite a few thinking he would look decent enough to trade.

lol at Pilares getting axed in favor of AE. God, some of our fans embarrass me.

I was just checking the box score from last night and Pilares had 2 catches for a total of 11 yards. Armanti had 1 catch for 13 yards. To suggest that AE would make the roster over Pilares is preposterous!

What's also preposterous is that you are embarrased by people posting hypothetical lineups on a football message board.

Not enough evidence for any definitive picks yet. Some folks will get cut, possibly AE or Pilares--- just too early to tell.

      The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
