100% behind Curtis Samuel

Everything I have seen from him since rookie camp (minus nagging injuries) indicates the guy is a baller. 

Although I disagree with the trade, I am excited to see him get an opportunity. Hopefully it works out.

I don't think we have any idea what his ceiling is yet.

Slightly below Steve Smith, if he develops the physicality and mind set

He and Cam just need to get on the same page. Samuel's been open quite a bit in his limited opportunities Really hope we throw him into a trial by fire. Have him play nearly every snap in 2 wideout sets and either outside or in the slot in 3 wide packages. Keep McC at HB for now or put him the slot with Samuel outside. Curtis and Funch's skill sets actually complement each other very well. If Samuel can indeed actually ball and Funch can keep improving his consistency then I don't think we're too bad off at starting WR. Just please don't have Shep taking KB's snaps. Give them to Curtis.

    • Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows
    • I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.
    • Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
