There was an unsung hero to the loss yesterday: training camp "star" Curtis Samuel

To get this out of the way: Cam did not play well and was obviously the #1 reason as to why we lost. 

But that's not what this thread is about. It's about someone that I haven't seen get a bit of criticism since yesterday: training camp MVP Curtis Samuel. Rewatched the tape and, from what you could see from the game telecast, he was just not getting open. Norv had him run a fair number of deep routes and Cam made the wise decision to check down because Samuel just wasn't getting a bit of separation. A super disappointing performance and not the first time a receiver that was the toast of Wofford flopped once the regular season started.

STFU. You're a moron.


Not only was Cam NOT the reason we lost, but you're reaching to blame a receiver that wasn't even that big a part of the game plan.

Turn in your fan card.

Ah yes, true fans aren't allowed to blame players that play the game for losing the game, only things like refs and heat and bad luck.

So you're just ignoring the play where Samuel had his man beat by like 7 yards that would have been a 40-50 yard gain, if not a touchdown had Cam not thrown it 75 feet over his head...?

Perhaps you missed the first sentence where I literally said Cam was the #1 reason for the loss.

But it wasn’t ALL his fault they lost. Sure he didn’t play well, but there were fumbles, bad play calling, unfortunate officiating calls, fumbles bouncing LAs way etc. They will get better and all will be well.

He didn't even get an opportunity.  How can you blame the guy when Cam didn't even throw the ball his way to give him a shot at it?

To Cam's credit, he didn't try forcing it to Samuel when he was covered, he checked it down to the always open McCaffrey. If the options are A.) Cam forces it to Samuel so they can say he's throwing deep balls again or B.) Take the heat for having very few deep shots, but taking the easy passes, I'm taking Option B every time.

      I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
