Man there are a ton of posts here but I went a lot of pages without seeing something. 
How long did. It take for a poster to say that the current OC is pretty familiar with the player?
This looks like that to me.  Could be something to the CMC role, but whatever it is the QB coach would know something about the WRs on the roster and the route trees and all that stuff. So if he can work with this guy…. seems reasonable to think this may be the motivation. 

Besides being, also maybe, a friendly reminder to anyone coasting through that you need to keep an eye out over your shoulder.

Beefier, slower Curtis Samuel

What? No no no. They really aren't that much alike. Samuel was a speed merchant legit deep ball threat with good agility. I guess LV jr, is like the powerback version of that... He's a hybrid like Samuel... But that's where the comparisions stop. They both play a wr/hb role..but how they win are opposites.

Exactly.

He's a beefier, slower Curtis Samuel.

What's the first thing you think of when you think Curtis Samuel? For me it's speed.. He ran a 4.31 or so. LVjr couldn't do that in his dreams. I think Samuel developed into a legit wr as per his large contract with Washington... LVjr still trying to figure it out.. Norris is on the record saying he's to slow to play on the outside and was the worst wr last year. I just think they are 2 opposite entities.no disrespect.

Lavinia Shanault is a traditional wingback & they don't lineup on the outside like a wide receiver.Curtis Samuel was a hybrid wingback that you could put outside like a wide receiver because of his speed.

most people think of a wing back & they automatically for the most part say hey here is a guy who can play running back and wide receiver so they are a wing back. nah  that is not what defines or let's say makes a player a wingback...just saying

Sounds like if you took Curtis Samuel, but made him beefier; slower.

How anyone can say this guy wasnt worth a 6th/7th blows my mind.... The jags fuging blew it last year on how they used him. In 2020 they used him to his skillset.... take a look for yourself:

The more I've thought this over...  we may have just gotten Deebo-lite for a conditional late round pick.  I know Jags fans and some twitterers were down on him, but again, he was highly regarded as a steal in his draft and regardless of how he got it, 60 catches and 600 yards in the NFL is legit productions, especially when compounded with and considering it was on a dysfunctional Jags team.

I love this move.

He sounds more like an H-Back to me. Blocker and Runner with the ability to swing out wide.

      Yeah I think he's just talking continuity it's not really an endorsement. Also I would think CarolinaHuddle of all places would understand using "we" for the team you follow. I can't STAND when dorks do the "Oh so you play for them then? Hurr hurr"

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).
