Is there any reason Samuel is only playing like 25% of the snaps???

I’m not sure what more he has to do to work his way into the field. For everyone that’s says”the best players always play” doesn’t know this team. His touchdown to opportunity rate has to be amazing at this point. He has shown the ability to win in the big and small game(lost in the big game jump ball as well).

At this point it’s not DJ Moore Vs Curtis Samuel as both are good football players. A good head coach would see the film and say hey, we gotta get these guys the ball more instead of Funchess getting 7-8 targets and dropping half of them. For most of the game I thought Samuel was being disciplined or was injured. 

I don’t think I can stomach another week of Samuel playing 15 plays.

I dont remember anytime during Rivera's tenure that we have demoted an established player. I remember trading Beason to Giants to allow Luke to play his natural MLB position. For Samuel to get more than 15% of the snaps, we have to cut into Funchess' snaps, which I am in favor of.

I think after this last game he should pass Goonchess on the depth chart. If #10 and #12 arent on the field the majority of the plays, we know the staff either doesnt care about winning or absolutely clueless on how to do so. I think #13 has played well given his role, I dont want to reduce his role.

Because of Funchess & Smith being on the roster.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
