Curtis Samuel vs CMC

Coming out they were both compared to each other some saying Samuel was a poor mans CMC. Me personally I feel better about Samuel at this point than CMC(fumble withstanding eeew) because to me he passes the eyeball test. He flashes game breaking speed, his hands look solid and he still is learning the playbook. Slowly but surely he is being brought along into the offense.

 

I think it’s only a matter of time before he catches one of those weekly deep balls. CMC on the other hand is breaking down and his role being decreased almost everywhere. I don’t think we have seen a worse first rounder in terms of blocking in recent memory, and I am almost at the point of saying I would rather see Samuel get his carries at RB. CMC need to just start preparing for his future as a Wes Welker/Edelman type and be done with it.

I haven't been impressed by Samuel at all.  He seems to play timid

Really? Seems he gets 10 yards every time he does the reverse. And as someone above said he does make a man miss and displays decent hands.... haven’t seen him drop any. And on those deep balls I can atleast see the long speed.

CMC is a good football player. Maybe top 10 was to high but he shows 1st round talent. His movement is incredible and many times all he needs is a block or a better pass so he can keep moving.

I still think CMC will be great, just needs a year under his belt, and should add about 10 to 15 pounds of muscle to his frame so he power through defenders more.

Nothing about Samuels hands look “solid”. He’s had 2 or 3 now hit him in the hands and wasn’t able to grab it.

1 in Detroit, 1 against Philly I believe and yesterdays deep ball hit him right in the hand 

 

I believe has caught all the passes he should have caught. You are asking him to make the difficult catches which I would agree he hasn’t. Which is why I said they look solid. When he’s open it’s not like he’s dropping passes... he makes the open catches,slants comebacks he’s been money on those.

What If we switch it up put cmc at wr and Samuel in the back field 

This is what I was thinking... worth a try... maybe we had the formula right just switch around the equation... I don’t think CMC is a natural runningback. He was probably groomed from birth on route running and catching the football like his daddy,only to be placed at runningback.

    • Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.
    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
    • Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
