That's unfortunate for sure.  He is a really good player, but WFT paid him starter money, which we couldn't match.  Sucks but that's the business of the NFL.

I hope he's able to get well soon.  I loved him as a Panther, and I wish him nothing but success (just not against us!).

In the 21st century, schadenfreude is everyone's favorite pass time.

He missed one game over the past two seasons and four games over the past three. Not seeing this massive injury proneness.

Who said, I said anything about massive injury proneness.  Others did, I didn't.

I did say sad that WFT paid big bucks for sideline player, which is a true statement.  Or in the proper terminology used today.  Fact Check True.

So why are you getting triggered? If the reply didn't apply to your post then it probably wasn't referencing your post.

Nice word there…schadenfreude.  So true.  Hope Curtis is back out there soon

I may be wrong but he seemed to have several lingering small tissue injuries, especially earlier in his career. May not have missed a lot of games but he did seem limited/hampered by injuries to a degree higher than you'd like.

Samuel peaked at the right time during a contract year. I bet he’s never as good as he was last year again 

He got very fortunate that CMC was injured. A lot of the screens/short passes that he was targeted on last year would have typically gone to CMC. He kind of subbed in for CMC's role in the passing game last season.

I'm sure Samuel and his team of financial advisors all take heart that Panther fans everywhere have their knickers  bound up in a knot over his health concerns.

To me, Samuel is emblematic of the entire organization under the last regime; he was drafted too high for the wrong position and then not really put in a position to succeed until  a "contract year" where he either finally lived up to potential or over performed then bolted for an obscene contract.

The fact that our previous regime, who repeatedly saddled us with under performing, ill-drafted, out of position players who failed to live up to expectations and then bum rushed us with a dump truck full of money to take their sprained, bench-riding liability off our hands deserves a little got dam glee.

But hey, you Panther fans make sure to load up one one liners for the Panthers QB (he's a Ginger!) or more digs about the clueless head coach who's out of his depths in the big, bad NFL.

And make sure your Gang Green shirts are fresh and clean for Sunday now, ya hear?

It's the Huddle, it's what happens here, hyperbole, and exaggeration...

I wanted Curtis over Robbie due to the age gap between the two players, but I am also fine with how things played out, TMJ and Shi Smith look promising, along with Chuba. 

While I don't agree with passing on Fields, overall they did a nice job outfitting this offense with talent. Robby was a FA signing last year, and TMJ, Smith, and Chuba were added via the draft. 

Factor in Arnold, and Tremble as well, and we're in a situation much better and deep offensively than last year.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
