Curtis Samuel needs to show out against the Falcons

Their top 3 safeties are hurt (1 on IR) and their top 2 CBs are hurt as well (didn't play week 4).

If Curtis and Ian don't flash vs ATL, I just can't see them doing it ever on a consistent basis.

This is a game the Ron Rivera Panthers would have gotten their weeners kicked in. Falcons struggling and have a ton of injuries, but Ron’s Panthers would show up unprepared and unmotivated for everything the Falcons did and manage to lose.

If Rhule has exorcised those demons and the Panthers finally do the weener kicking themselves, it’s all aboard the Rhule train for me!

At this point he needs to show out for himself more than even the team. If he fails to dazzle this season, he probably won't be resigned by this team and probably wont get big money on the open market. Although, Funchess has been signed twice now on decent 1 year deals, never mind hope he balls out for this team this week and every week until the end of the season. Go get this W and put a nail in the Falcons season.

Samuel is already proven, stop the bs, led our team in red zone TDs with Kyle Allen, you guys aren't used to having a legit SET of weapons. Moore, Anderson, and when CMC returns are ahead of him in the pecking order. 

Samuel is established, we just have this thing called OPTIONS now. The ball is spread around in this offense, DJ, Robby, Curtis, Bonnafon, Thomas, Davis, all had receptions in the offense.

He might just always be a good 3rd WR that can do some great things. I don't see him ever breaking out but I hope I'm wrong.

If you've got two really good WRs ahead of him (and we do), then having a solid, steady WR3 who can play the slot and even run the ball now and then is pretty much how any head coach would love to see his roster roll out.

Curtis is good, we're doing find with him right now. He has been improving week to week this season, perhaps he is getting the coaching he needs. Let's watch and see how he does. We could be very pleasantly surprised.

DJ is great, but sure would like to see more out of him. He seems to be having trouble breaking free of coverage.

    • I agree. I’d make the move because I don’t see us sniffing the playoffs and let’s be honest TMac, Legette and Coker better be our top 3 future. If they aren’t and we need Thielen to replace one of them, then we need to draft yet another 1st round WR, SMH. Suffice it to say, Thielen isn’t good enough to get us into the playoffs so let’s get the young guys starting so we know if they aren’t good enough. We still have so many assumptions about whether players are who we need them to be that holding onto Thielen for 3-7 wins isn’t worth passing on a mid round pick (3rd to 5th/swaps). We’ve had some success with later round picks/UDFAs and need depth.
    • If you move Thielen I think you almost have to keep Renfrow. You need some sort of veteran presence in the locker room and Renfrow would be good insurance in the slot. I'm sure we have Coker penciled in to start there but you also have to be keeping Coker in the back of your head as XL insurance on the outside if he doesn't step up. If he flounders again, I wouldn't wait too awfully long to replace him with Coker outside and slide Renfrow into the slot and keep it moving. 
    • Playing the same role is different than having the same style.  Cam Newton and Drew Brees both played QB but arent the same type in any way.
