He was back at quarterback in the Carolina Panthers preseason finale, running and throwing and trying to spin the magic that made him a star and two-time National Player of the Year at Appalachian State.
The Panthers debuted their “Mountaineer” package against the Pittsburgh Steelers with Edwards lining up in a Wildcat formation on six plays. |

No, I mean real football, not this boring preseason garbage.
If you weren’t before Thursday night, chances are you are now.
The Carolina Panthers eased into the regular season by resting almost all of their starters and many of their key reserves in Thursday night’s preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field. Coach John Fox announced the decision just before the game.
"I think the key was getting our starters ready and healthy," Fox said. "We didn't get anybody nicked up, so we will be full speed ahead for New York." |

The Panthers began working on the package last week in practice, but made sure to keep it under wraps until the game.
Carolina drafted Edwards with hopes of turning him into a wide receiver and returner, but also with an eye toward using him at quarterback in what other teams refer to as the “Wildcat” offense. |

(Photo by John Clark) CHARLOTTE -- The Carolina Panthers have a number of roster decisions to make before Saturday's final round of cuts and some of those will be answered after Thursday night's game at Pittsburgh. We've talked at length about some of the starting jobs that remain up in the air -- they include No. 2 receiver, right guard, defensive tackle and right defensive end -- but here's a look at some of the decisions the Panthers have to make when filling out bottom part of the 53-man roster: No. 5 receiver: Kenny Moore vs. Charly Martin vs. two young guys -- In all likelihood Steve Smith, Brandon LaFell, Dwayne Jarrett and Armanti Edwards make the roster, meaning Charly Martin and Kenny Moore find themselves in a battle with rookies David Gettis and Trent Guy for possibly one spot following the injury to Wallace Wright. Martin would seem to have the advantage based on his ability to cover kicks on special teams. Edge: Martin. |

With the starters likely to be out after a series or two, Pike and Cantwell will get at least a quarter each to impress the coaches after rookie Jimmy Clausen gets his reps.
It’s not much, and certainly it isn’t all they’ll be judged on, but coach John Fox typically weighs a player’s performance in games pretty heavily in the evaluation process. |
