On the day he learned he was lost for the season, Samuel signed autographs and passed out Thanksgiving turkeys at the Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club in Sedgefield.

Samuel, using crutches with his leg heavily wrapped, said he didn’t want to cancel his appearance.

“I’m in a little bit of pain, but that wasn’t going to stop me because I understand how important this moment is for these kids,” he said. “They look forward to this and I also was looking forward to this. So I wasn’t going to let an injury stop me from giving back.”

Samuel signed promotional fliers for the event, and also autographed several cell phones.

In return, he received a get-well card from a young girl and let several kids sign his Panthers cap.

After getting a turkey and an autograph, one girl started dancing with excitement.

“I wish I could dance with you,” Samuel said, smiling.

 

Well done Curtis.

Ive said this before, but I love how much this franchise gives back to the community.  They are always doing something and most we would never know about.  Good job young man!

Yes.  I was a fan of this team from the beginning because they are local.  But one thing now I really love is the character of this team.  It seems to mean something to be a Panther.....not just about football.  This is  a group of men we can be proud of.  They are making a difference and I was very impressed by Curtis Samuel.  Even as a young player...he gets it.  I hope he is a Panther for life....and a very prolific wide receiver.

I would say I am a “downer” 1% of the time. Huge fan of 10 and love the article. Just feeling a little bit worried about his durability. I think many of us have shared those concerns since the preseason. 

Lets hope it’s not a trend. Hoping for the best with him because he has so much talent and potential. 

Keep pounding youngster.

I was annoyed when he dropped that TD pass, but he made a grown man catch earlier where he got blasted and held on. Cancels each other out. Hate he’s gone for the season, needs the reps.  Hopefully it heals completely and he comes back to training camp ready to learn. I have very high hopes for this guy (after draft night 1 he was on the short list I posted here for wants in round 2 :) )

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
