Doesn't surprise me at all. He's been so damn clutch in those situations these last 2 games. Really huge to have him stepping up in that role behind Robby and DJ. We've never had a group of WRs this good in team history, if you ask me. Yes, that includes Smitty/Moose/Proehl.

It's cool how Brady is putting everyone in positions to succeed.

We have a QB without the strongest arm but makes good decisions and is accurate? Dink and dunk my friend.

We have YAC gods on our team in Anderson and Moore? Let's get them the ball in space and let them YAC.

We have a WR/RB hybrid that the defense needs to account for? Run with him, and throw it to him to keep them honest. 

This is nice. I'm enjoying this.

Samuel is very good with the ball in his hands and ridiculously fast as well. All three and CMC can make moves and house it on any play. One thing that gets forgotten is that Samuel also has some power like a RB as seen below against the Giants and on a run yesterday against the Falcons where he bounced off a tackler and kept going. It’s very enjoyable to watch.

@kungfoodude my guy is doing his part and helped with missing CMC. Maybe the panther will get a comp 4th for some team over paying him. 

I am happy to see us utilize him as a true utility player. His contributions in the run game and passing game have been important the past couple of games. 

Credit to Brady for scheming ways to get the ball in hands and credit to Curtis for stepping up and making these plays.

I am not convinced we should keep him around after these two games but he has 11 more games to make his case to the front office.

Against the failcons, he had his best RB runs. The first two without CMC, he didnt do nothing as RB. Just had "questionable" hands and leading the league in 3 down catches, that means the staff/teddy/brady/rhule trust hes going to catch the ball. I excepted more big big plays than 3rd down catches. 

heres sportac view on him come 2021. They got him at 7 per, just like me. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/curtis-samuel-21781/market-value/

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
