Leading the NFL - 3rd down receptions

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/

    • Give me Anthony Hill Jr or give me death
    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
