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/

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
