Another really good one here. Have a look:

Really, really excited for this guy. When the biggest game of the year was on the line vs. Michigan a loaded Ohio St went to this guy and he delivered. That means something. 

I think the most reassuring thing written in that article was the emphasis on Samuel's quickness and ability to create separation early in the route. How many times last year did we all scream: "for the love of good run some shorter routes, Cam is getting murdered."

Now we've upgraded the O-line and adding the versatility of guys who can get open quickly. 

On paper this is the best offense the Panthers have ever had.

Well they said we HAD to get faster and outside of John Ross this is the fastest guy at the combine.  I think his skillset is going to be tough to defend when you have CMC, Cam and Stewart lining up with him.  Who do you focus on?

The mismatches we create could make this offense more explosive than 2015.

That's the biggest take away for me. We should have so many mismatches on offense this year. Add in Greg Olsen and KB to those you already listed, and we should have a really explosive offense this year.

IMO Stewart is going to have much more room to run.  There is no way they can stack the box when they have any combination on the field.  And of course, the occasional run by Cam.

I have to say that I have never been this excited during preseason (I know...It's only preseason), and our first round pick has yet to show up!!! How frikkin cool is that?
