Samuel is (dare I say it) overrated. He reminded me of Philly Brown, if Brown had put on muscles and was a tad quicker.

This team has not had a starting tackle (left or right) since the departure of Jordan Gross.

So, paying a guy that was behind two 1,000 yard receivers make little to no sense in comparison.

Philly brown??? Come on bro... Samuel was making plays brown couldn't even dream of making..running the ball and making impacts just stop it..

When you finally have a good front office you sign your blue chip tackle and then draft stud WR prospects like Marshall to replace meh hybrid players like Samuel

Why is this even a conversation?

sammuel at $11m a year?…he’s not worth half that

[CarolinaNCSU]

Loved Samuel and loved to see him do well last year and get paid.  However, can't always trust contract year production. He was largely a potential guy until it was time to cash in.  Moton on the other hand, consistency and good to great play at a more premium position all day every day.

Who's Samuel?

Interesting factoid, when he played for the Panthers many referred to him as Samuels and then the wrath of the internet was laid upon them.    Now that he is no longer a Panther everyone gets the name right.
Confusing but entertaining nonetheless.

Oh Samuels now I know him.

It's Moton easily. I liked Samuel but it's a damn shame it took so long to figure out how to use him. I know Ron was a defensive guy but man, you would think he would have learned something having to plan around gadget players. 

 

You would think a Defensive Coach, who has to game plan against guys like that, would say "You know, I gotta get me one of those".

Curtis did get better every year. So it could have been more than just a Contract year. Maybe it was just growth.

Kinda like having a corvette in the garage but always driving your 1990 Ford Taurus because it's always gotten you from point A to point B and it's not like you drive over 65 anyway.

Change out that Vette for a Mustang, and I get what you're putting down. It's why I don't let the wife drive mine. It's a Sports Car. Drive it as such. My favorite driving game is to use the brake as little as possible. I think that's why I am usually driving alone. I've had some crazy reactions when folks get out of my car.

 

Edit to add; Sorry about the tangent. It happens.

Honestly, I don't remember anyone saying that they'd lock Samuel up at the expense of Moton. I think that's just a "cool story" for the bros.

Before FA there was a fair amount on board of prioritizing Samuel over Moton

No there wasn't.

I'm the biggest Samuel stan on here and still think we should've resigned him.

But, not over Moton. That's ludicrous!

[Stumpy]

Now, if you replace Moton's name with Erving or Elfdude, we might have a conversation. Moton is not the only player we paid this offseason.

[Clicheking]

Pay Moton. All the things Samuel was doing last year would have been negated by CMC's return. 

[mccjeff]

Got to agree with pay Moton. Curtis may well turn into a dynamic player but the Panthers have to solidify the O line. This signing was a huge first step in that direction.
