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?

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
