Curtis Samuel is the real deal.

He can do it all. His ball carrier vision is insane and he’s the fastest guy on the field. He might not be a guy who’s going to get you 1,000 yards every year, but he’s a threat to score every time he touches the ball. He’s exactly the sort of weapon we lacked under Shula and Norv knows how to use him and DJ Moore in creative ways. 

Players like him are why the future is limitless for this team - he’s breaking out.

I really hope that we're seeing that our offese is best suited featuring CMC, Olsen, Moore, and Samuel with Funchess and Wright serving as possession options. I really hope we don't upset this balance when Torrey Smith is healthy. It's not a coincidence that our offense suddenly became a lot more explosive when our featured receivers shifted away from Smith and Funchess.

not if rivera and co keep finding excuses to keep him off the field. he gets open at will. he could absolutely be a 1000 yard receiver.

x100000000000000000

not only that, he could be our best receiver and a #1 option.

It’s strange how fans can see and asses this while the professionals making millions to do exactly that, don’t.

I was crying about Captain Munnerlyn by halftime today and then Fitz just zeroed in on him and damn near brought the Bucs back pretty much solely by targeting Captian Munnerlyn.

Risk reward is different for a fan. Rivera has shown that he prefers vets over younger players to a fault. That's who he thinks we give him a better chance of winning.

If he puts Torrey Smith back in as a starter, he deserves whatever derision comes his way.

it's not strange. the only difference is that the professionals had the opportunity. not everybody making millions to do something is the best at the job. usually quite the opposite. you think somebody like @KB_fan wouldn't blow away 90% of the panthers staff at analytics?

    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.    
    • Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
