Panthers won't cut Armanti Edwards anytime soon

For those of you looking on the wires for Armanti's name, its not going to happen.

 

Edwards is a great camp player. He is always on time, pays attention, gives all he has got. They need guys like him so that they have enough WRs to conduct a full camp and evaluate QBs and DBs. AE has the respect of all the players and coaches.

 

I don't believe he will make the team this year. Look for him to be one of the last cuts made in August.

Not only is he a good camp player but I don't see them making many (if any really) WR cuts before they absolutely have to.  It's a position, like the secondary positions are, where we're going to go into camp with way too many people on the roster to promote competition then make cuts near the end after they're damn sure they  have the best group of receivers possible out of what's available.

 

Besides...I don't see why I'd want to see him cut this early anyway.  Do we gain anything from it aside from some sort of satisfaction that he's gone?

In addition, its not like he would catch on quickly with another team. They did Keiser a favor by cutting him early. He may be able to catch on to another team. But when the Panthers are done with Armanti he will be in the CFL. Probably do REALLY well there.

Armanti is the ultimate example of an over draft victim here.  This organization gave up way too much for him and he has faced unrelenting criticism and unrealistic expectations.  If we had drafted the kid where he should have been drafted 6th, 7th or UDFA no one would have a bad word to say other than "damn, I wish Armanti would have panned out."  That would have been the end of it, but noooooooo, Marty had to trade 7,000 picks and use a 3rd rounder to get him.  Not Armanti's fault, but that's the life of a pro football player.  I hate it happened to him but this is after all, a business, of which he has none being here after camp.

    • The framing continues to be if you disagree with this top 10 play making….its then somehow spun as denying his improvement or hating. if you take Bryce’s career and exclude his last 2 starts……there really is no objective argument that isn’t a bottom tier starter to date. Is yeah, it’s cherry picking, recency bias and his surprising inability improvement driving it into a bit of silliness.  Literally nothing argued here except the top 10 stuff is overkill.   But it’s also the same time of year when folks can get bashed for saying Frank is a bad hire, Fitterer sucks and should be fired with Rhule, Ben McAdoo was a joke hire for a staff that forced into rejects, Rhule doesn’t know what he is doing and clearly exposed when reporters got into camp, the Sam/Baker comp and not picking one is dumb, and on and on.  Lot of frankly conservative takes are spun as wild hate this time of year.   
    • Doing a little digging and it looks like PFF didn't penalize him for the XL drop during that Chiefs game.  I also think the moral of the story is most teams aren't chunking it 20 plus yards for completions multiple times every game.  Hit a couple of those and you can be one of the top "deep" ball passers that week.  
    • Of course he needs to put together a full season and there is no reason to suggest he won't. His progress last year was great and unless you think he has already reached his ceiling he should continue to get better. That is why folks are excited for the first time in years. Who knows what will happen but to have a qb who finished the year playing excellently and is only going into his 3rd year, you need to be excited. At least until we have reason to think differently.
