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

[Sam Mills Fan]

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...?

True fans aren't ghosts for years on these forums and then pop in to blame our QB for a loss that isn't on him at all.

Do you have an agenda?

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. 

[Knockout]

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?

True fans have to post on the Huddle during the offseason? How many true fans are there then, like 30?

Perhaps you ignored what I said about Samuel doing his job and being wide open on a play that probably would have gone for a touchdown.

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.

Your last post until recently was January 23rd, 2016.

Get bent, and shove your agenda.

So we need to crown Samuel's ass for being open on a total of 1-2 plays yesterday? Job well done Curtis, job well done!

Lmao isn't this the guy who tried to bet that Cam would never have a 4th quarter game winning drive?

Oh huddle...
