Curtis Samuel:  “I’m just trying to take care of myself day in and day out to get myself the best chance to stay on the field and help my team. I can’t help my team from the sideline,” Samuel said after the Panthers kicked off OTAs on Tuesday. “This is probably the first year, not to jinx it, that I’ve started off feeling pretty good. That’s a good thing.

“I’m super excited. I was able to get in some great training, fully healthy and able to run around, and now I’m coming into OTAs feeling great.”

“We’re two of the youngest receivers in the league, but we’re trying to make things happen,” Samuel said. “DJ is like my brother. Not many people talk about us. We don’t really care about it, but we’re coming every day at practice ready to work and understanding what the task at hand is. We’re just trying to get better each and every day.”

We throw this phrase around a lot, but Samuel truly is our X factor this year. DJ proved in limited time last year his has the ability to be a #1. Samuel has the chance to be something we haven't had since Mushin Muhammad, a true, #2 playmaker on the outside, something that Devin Funchess was supposed to be and failed miserably at (let alone his go at #1 WR). 

When Samuel is on the field, he makes plays. He can be special. He needs to prove he can play 16 games first, though.

he shouldn't smile. he's sending the wrong message to kids. they might start to think that work is supposed to be fun. next thing you know kids are killing each other because they aren't having fun and it will be cam's fault.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
