Curtis Samuel has been putting in work. He's been in the playbook, and it apparently shows according to Bill Voth's latest article on Panthers.com.  


"He looked good," head coach Ron Rivera said. "The nice part was that he knew where to line up for the most part, knew where to go, knew what his routes were supposed to be.

"We'll have to watch the tape, but it looked like he was doing the things he needed to be."

 



"I wanted to be out there, but some good things came out of this injury," Samuel said. "I've been in the playbook, so I was able to study rather than being out there like a chicken with his head cut off. 

"I had time that most people don't have because after practice when you're tired, sometimes it's hard to focus. But with me out a little bit, I was really able to study the playbook and really learn the ins and outs so I can give myself the best chance to play as soon as possible."

 

So, now we know, Samuel seems to be pretty positive, and he has a good work ethic. 

Good things are on the way!

Not getting reps in practice does have its benefits. I know plenty of people who will say that having the time to process the information out before applying it rather than being thrown in there actually helps them learn faster than going out there without much time to analyze what your role is.

Like Cam's injury may help with his footwork, Samuel's injury may have actually helped him learn more routes and concepts at a faster rate. Sure, he does need the reps for his body to memorize the movements, but at least he knows what he's supposed to do.

Can't wait to hear more!

I believe that notion extends beyond football. Organizations just get so stuck in their ways that they lose varying degrees of efficiency and effectiveness by using a cookie cutter type approach as it pertains to education.

Actually just wrote an article on that very subject that should be released tomorrow. 

But yeah completely agree.

With CMC already showing us that he's...electric. And Moton showing us he can be solid and potentially better. And Armah doing Armah things. The unknown of Elder because of injury. Butker doing well (not that we keep him) but good for him. And now potentially Samuel showing that he is in it to win it (with the potential to show us some things maybe on Thursday)...this draft class could be a home run. It's hard not to be excited about these guys.

I see some great potential in Samuels and agree that spending that time in the books will benefit him more than most think. I'm eager to get eyes on him Thursday, though. I wanna see some of that chemistry and speed at work with some pro competition. I think he can handle it, but it'll be important to get him some reps during preseason, even if not in great numbers.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
