That's not true at all.  We used him in prior seasons, but last year he was CLEARLY playing for a contract.

Notice how his catch percentage went up nearly 30 points from the prior year?  How his catch percentage was 20 points higher than his previous career high?

He actually had more targets in 2019.

I'm glad he performed so well last year with CMC out.  I hope the light bulb finally went on for him.  I'm REALLY glad we didn't pay him 10+ per season.

I said he was a niche player and we only used him that way one season.....which was 2020.   You throw Samuel on the outside and ask him to do what Robby Anderson does and he will be weak.  Because he isn't a pure WR.  

Playing from the slot and backfield is his niche.  CMC being hurt and the addition of Robbie allowed him to fall into the role he was always meant for.

What halfwit thinks it’s a good idea to try your two best offensive starters in returning punts? 

Hey, I am a half wit!!  I think they might be just working on it in the event we are in a situation where we must have a return TD?  I dunno,  Moore/CMC sure hands and they won't muff it.

better players than them have returned kicks too. 

it's football.  I have never really bought into the it's too big of a risk thing.   CMC literally plays every snap already.  I don't think playing certain downs where he mostly likely fair catches a ball is actually greater risk in the grand scheme of things.  Just as likely to have his knees destroyed in a pile up IMO than hurt on kick returns.

Smitty was a PR and he stepped back and did it as a veteran at times.

Yeah we always use to put Smith in if we needed a spark. Have no problem with it if game is on the line and need some legit hands or make something happen.

NFL athletes playing on special teams had the highest rate of ACL injuries (7.6 per 10,000 player-plays) in comparison with all other player positions.

There's also the increased risk of concussions on those plays as well.

Remember that playoff game against Seattle I think?  He had not returned a punt in a couple years I think, then they throw him in there when we really needed a spark and he takes it to the damn house!

      OFFICIAL Buffalo Bills @ Carolina Panthers Week 8 GAMEDAY Thread

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      All three charlotte Observer predictors took the Panthers to beat the Jets last week, so the margin among the trio has stayed the same. Fowler maintains a hefty lead at 6-1 over Kaye (2-5) and Zietlow (2-5). Fowler: Panthers 27, Bills 26. Even as I write this, I am having a hard time believing I am going to pick against reigning MVP Josh Allen and Buffalo. But the Panthers are a far better team when playing at home (3-0). The Panthers at least have a shot if they play turnover-free football and run the ball at least 35-40 times against Buffalo’s 31st-ranked rushing defense (with 70% of those carries going to Rico Dowdle, preferably). Put me down for an upset and, hey, if it doesn’t work out, at least I’m giving my colleagues a chance to catch up. Kaye: Bills 27, Panthers 24. I think this game will be close, regardless of who will be at QB for Carolina. The Panthers should have plenty of success on the ground with a few Tetairoa McMillan moments sprinkled in. Josh Allen, though, can be a monster on the football field, and it’s late October. Zietlow: Bills 38, Panthers 21. Trust me, I’ve heard the same things you have. The Bills haven’t beaten a team over .500 yet. They’ve lost two straight. The Panthers brought in former Bills quarterback Mike White to the practice squad to find a competitive edge. Etc. Etc. But this is a game the Bills need to win in order to get on the right track — and a bye week of preparation will only help Josh Allen and the rest of the team in this effort. I think the Panthers hold close for a while, but then the Bills pull away at the end.

      Bills predictions

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      Anthony Richardson has been plagued by injuries and what does his play have to do with Hendon.  Richardson was a combine warrior his passing stats in college never showed elite he was drafted on potential. Hendon was an elite passer in college and is near the top of all time Tennessee passing stats.  The jury is still out on what Hooker ability at this level is.
