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/

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
