Not that the play went bad or anything, but if you're going to run an end around why run it with Jarius Wright instead of Curtis Samuel?

Because everyone expects it to go to Moore or Samuel, but not Wright? IDK.

boggles the mind.   

the fact Norv seems to manage just a handful of plays for him and Moore is crazy.   Samuel has looked fantastic.  I don't care what "leadership" Smith brings, he shouldn't dominate playing time over guys like this.  

Samuel and Moore should both be getting 5 touches per game.  That should be the goal each week.  Not snaps.

Samuel should definitely get more time than Smith.  I mean, has Samuel dropped balls and we need that veteran stability?  No.  Has he made key mistakes that cost us?  No.  Let Smith lead from the sideline, become a mentor, great!  I'm all for that.  But Samuel can friggin' change the game.  He runs decent routes, he separates and once he has the ball, he is terrifying in the open field.

Very true that would mean about 3-4 more sweeps 2-3 more smoke screens and probably a RPO to Curtis like yesterday not ideal starting situations but I'm ok with that on this subject and I'm ok if it's hand offs and such bc I just want the ball in his hands by any means necessary bc we aren't reducing Smiths snaps to much especially after Sunday. I'm thinking based off normal games 12 drives a game we need to get him 4 touches a half he's looks explosive as ever. Really since preseason we all know but know it's on tape vs his peers when he gets the ball it's almost Tyrek Hill lite more like Percy Harvin a big play every touch. We do have two guys who have to get touches but it'll get overshadowed by Torrey and Funch even tho Funch dropped I'd say 2 maybe 3 catchable balls. Even though he made some catches after the drops he should loose a few snaps based off dropping catchable passes.

edit: I started this thread a hour before posting at least a hour probably two tbh phone died when I got back up and going I literally forgot to come back and post it so I didn't even see that other Tyrek comment prior to.

I mean, you have to think that DJ Moore's fumbles justified the coaches thought process about not putting too much into inexperienced hands. Remember Samuel had an interception doink off his hands too on what should have been a routine catch last year.  I think our games have been too close and combined with how few drives we get (total of 7!!!! in the second half of our last two games), you go with the guys you trust not to drop the ball, figuratively and literally. Ideally we up their number of snaps until they are on the field for most first and second downs, while still bring in Wright and Smith for the critical downs.

Not exclusively just backfield stuff.  They need legit routes at WR we more consistently work in too. 

almost midway through the season and haven’t yet tried to have Moore go deep on a vertical.  Dude got the juice.   Just simple slants can be huge plays for Samuel and Moore because they aren’t as likely to go down at the catch like Fun

I think the solution is more slow no huddle running 3 WR sets.   Too many downs spent running in unproductive 2 WR sets early in games

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
