Curtis Samuel, "The Brooklyn Blur"

Recommended Posts

The combine time doesn't match in game-speed but this is sweet:

Curtis Samuel had the 4th fastest 40 time in the last 6 years

1-John Ross 2-Dri Archer 3-JJ Nelson

4.31

The thing is, he's more refined than a Harvin at WR, he's a different type of mold.  

Also--Yeah yeah, combine warrior argument and all, I just think this isn't really being given any light and is an awesome stat.

The crazy thing is how young him and McCaffrey are, both turning 21 shortly before the start of the 2017 season. 

Yeah dude could be a great weapon for us , he'll have to work on becoming a more polished reciever catching and route running wise be he's got Ginn level speed and better hands at this point. Alot of his incompletions seem to not be from him literally dropping good balls, but from JT Barrett airmailing poo all the time , which we will have to hope Cam does not do the same thing to him lol 

He played enough at RB to where he like Gettleman says has pretty damn good YAC ability and runs the ball better than alot of WR after the catch which is exactly what we needed on this team. With him and McCaffrey on the field we could confuse the living poo out of defenses, they can both play WR and RB.

I don't understand how a player can still catch with his body after 3 years of college ball and practice.

Seems common sense that the player and coach would have them rectify that after a year or at most two years of concentrated practice to improve weak areas.

Hopefully he can still be effective body catching or develop his hands here at Carolina.

Yea I'm with ya, but this is VERY common of college players.  I've seen a lot of players go from strict body catchers in college to being able to use their hands to pluck footballs in the NFL. Funchess was one.  100% body catcher in college but even though he hasn't turned into much of a WR yet, at least you can't say he's a body catcher now. He's definitely learned to catch with his hands away from his body. His problem isn't his hands, it's his route running and separation.

    • Checking in on Jacob Rodriguez’ following list.. what do we notice? https://x.com/bthatespanthers/status/2046663230819356980?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
    • Im not angry. Im disappointed. I want to win. Anyone who has watched Bryce play the last 3 years and thinks that this team has in any way seriously addressed the glaring deficiencies in our QB room is deluding themselves. It's been explained ad nauseum how our FO has protected Bryce from feeling even slightly challenged or pressured. A GM without an interfering owner would have brought in another QB to at least give the team a better chance at winning. We just gave an extension to a QB that only got 3k yards on the last play of his 16th game of the year. Indy admitted AR wasn't good enough by bringing in Jones to compete for the starting role. Tennessee drafted Ward to replace Levis. Stroud hasn't repeated his 1st year and Mills' performance was decent when he filled in after Stroud's injury and some were calling for him to remain starter. His future there is still in question even with a 5th year. We should have done the same, especially given that Bryce was benched.  Bringing in Grier is just another glaring billboard pronouncing the obvious. Dave Tepper still has his hands in the daily operations of this team. He controls the QB room because Bryce was his pick. Until Tepper finally admits that Bryce has barely lived up to the standards of a NFL Qb, we're going to spend our days reminiscing of when we were mediocre and finished 9-7.  It's just discouraging. We'll address every position on the field except the one with a glaringly obvious shortcoming. I had hoped Tepper really had backed off. Bryce's 5th year, Dalton's 2 year contract then trade, Kenny Pickett, Will Grier, Jack Plummer, and  Hendon Hooker say otherwise. It already feels like it's going to be a hard year of Panthers football to watch.
