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.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
