When to be concerned about Curtis Samuel?

A vet, sure

But this rookie is missing a ton of reps.

Sucks.  CMC missed reps due to quarter system. Samuel due to injuries.

Vernon Butler got injured last year.

Shaq missed reps due to quarter system.  Funchess got injured.

We seem to have our 1st & 2nd round picks miss a LOT of reps = start slower than we'd like.  Most important is that Samuel get time to let this heal fully.  We saw with Dean Marlowe last year (think it was Marlowe), that bringing a guy back too soon is dangerous... Marlowe came back too soon and landed on IR for the full season.

    • Trading Deontae was 100% the right call, as he's not a #1 either and we weren't going to re-sign him, but we still got an awful return for him (thankfully the Mingo trade made up for it). And yes, we need that smaller shifty WR, but we also need a true outside #1 as neither XL or Coker are that. That's why I think T-Mac is a perfect fit for us in the early 1st round as that outside #1, Coker and XL could both play on the other outside and in the slot, and find a small shifty WR to work from the slot too, with Sanders, Brooks, and now Hubbard with the extension, plus our OL, is an offense that can succeed with a good game manager type of QB and not need a superstar.
    • Put the pipe down. You are what your record says you are. They need talent and a lot of it. Brown is set but he can use upgrades all around him. ARob is fine but a short timer so competition is needed as a hedge against him chasing money next year. They need a bunch of LBs. Jewell is stopgap and Shaq is losing a step. He's the smartest of the group but he can no longer hang with a TE. They are playing harder yes, but it's due to grit and pride more than skill. They are finally getting tired of getting their asses kicked. Unfortunately for them the beatings will continue until moral improves.
