The Carolina Panthers have spent the last year revamping its receiving corps, trying to assemble a mix of versatile skill sets around franchise quarterback Cam Newton. Whether it was trading away former go-to target Kelvin Benjamin, using its first-round selection on DJ Moore, trading for Torrey Smith or signing Jairus Wright, there has been a clear emphasis from Carolina’s brass to improve the position group.

But the receiver who is turning heads and carving out a role for the Panthers is 2017 second-round pick Curtis Samuel who battled injuries throughout his rookie season and made very little impact. Entering year two of his career, Samuel appears primed to flip the script.

i’ll continue to say this.

Curtis Samuel is the most talented receiver on the roster. We could well see him as our WR1 down the line.

I'm starting to believe this because he possesses every trait to be an elite WR if he catches everything that comes his way his YAC ability based off his speed and agility seems like a dynamic number one WR

I hope we have a team full of WR 2/3s

 

we are going to spread the ball out to various weapons via mismatches. We have several guys with very high upside and have the ability to put up huge numbers

 

but expect to have those numbers tapered down as targets get spread around and we win games

 

itll help our salary cap too without a guys numbers exploding

That’s nice.  I hope he really breaks out.  On the huddle he is portrayed as a five year injury prone vet who should’ve been cut years ago.  He has had one year, which included a hamstring and a freak ankle injury.  The kid wrecked shop at OSU.

I hear you man, I have heard "Made of glass" "Injury prone" so many times when people on the forum talk about him, its absolutely ridiculous.  Dude had some terrible luck his rookie year and was sidelined almost the entire season.  Calling him injury prone as if he was a 5 year vet is just insane.  You would think he was peddling on the bike like Jstew was for 10 seasons the way people talk about how he is ALWAYS injured.

Gotta admit, his development has been a pleasant surprise.  I wasn't one of his detractors after last season, but I certainly wasn't expecting this much of a jump in year 2,  I thought he was just in better physical shape, and by camp reports he'd be at best an occasional deep threat this year. 

But man he's looked real good. He made Stephone Gillmore look silly Friday (as an aside, I really want to shout out Devin who also played really solid against Gilmore Friday, it's really refreshing to know we have two promising WRs while Moore develops.) and he looks like he's gonna be a handful to cover. I can see him being a Ginn with a much higher ceiling, and if he continues to do this on Sundays he and Cam will develop a repertoire real quick.

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
