Your literally posting tweets of him running slant routes and calling him a deep threat 

 

Jesus Christ, get some help

 

Micheal Thomas who many consider a slow WR caught more deep passes than Samuel. I like Samuel but he's not a deep threat at this point not even close.

Come on goody there's go routes he posted. A deep threat is somebody who simply is a threat to beat you deep, which Samuel definitely is

While having a deep threat is nice, the Panthers problem is getting our receivers to separate between 7-15 yards

That's cause Ginn has some long legs. Byrd not as tall and long

I just think Ginn has more game speed of what we have seen.

As I anticipated.. it would have been foolish to take the fararri off the lot the 1st day and let it rip.. bring him on slowly and teams won't have any info on him like tyreek hill last year...

& this is even more reason we keep Byrd over a useless bersin

Say we're at our own 25, low on time, and need a TD. I don't care if the receiver runs fifty, getting behind the secondary on sheer speed, catches a bomb and scores, or alternatively, whether he's a real YACer due to a combo of speed but even more shiftiness, catches a ten yarder, and deeks and jukes his way to the house. Both are a form of deep threat in my book. Last time I checked, unless something has changed, 6 still = 6.

 I'm hoping he's not a bust, but it's not looking bright.

Because he strained his hamstring?

Might as well just shoot ole Nelly now and put her out of her misery.

He'll look super fast next to our other receivers and with Benji commanding most of the attention

This is exactly what we drafted him for. I'm hoping he's not a bust, but it's not looking bright.

Because of a hamstring problem? OBJ had hamstring problems his rookie system. I guess he is a bust too.

 If the doctors say he is good play him.  He needs the reps.  The real games are coming fast.

Doctors can only tell you so much about your own body.. if he says he's not in shape he will fatigue faster & if he fatigues faster he's more susceptible to injury..

I winced because I remember what happened the last time a player admitted they weren't in football shape

The difference between that situation and this one is samuels is honest enough to take note of his condition in preseason where as bene waited until he got torched for 300 hundred yards and had to explain hisself..

You get in football shape playing football. Exactly why he should play.

LOL, that can't be right.

I don't think Samuel will get much PT early in this season so yeah, he should get tons of reps against the Steelers.
