Jackson is definitely more of a hot dogger / big talker than Samuel is.

As the Samuel, mentioned it earlier. Super speed guys are supposed to be the ones that can take a short pass and turn it into a big gain.

Are we seeing Samuel do that?

Those short passes turn into big gains because the defense is stretched out, giving those agile speedsters space to operate.

Hard to stretch them out when they don't have to respect the deep ball :(

Fair point.

Even with that said though, we could still be more successful with things like screens, misdirection and such given the speed of some of the players that we have.

We're just not.

We were moving the ball pretty well last year when Cam played, jacked up shoulder and no deep ball we're stopping us.    The playcalling has been really, really bad too at times.    I think Norv is too hyperfocused on CMC.    Cam's greater start last year worked despite no deep ball but Allen just isn't as good and can't cover up the lack of that.

The biggest difference is that Cam was completing a much higher percentage of his throws(67.9% vs. Kyle's 61.6%) even without those deep passes and also was taking better care of the ball(1.3 TO/G vs. Kyle's 2.0 TO/G). That is obviously going to lead to worse performances. Basically, even a banged up Cam with a bum shoulder was able to perform better than that Kyle has been able to. Now, he did perform more poorly this year with the foot injury.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
