Curtis Samuel vs CMC

[micnificent28]

Coming out they were both compared to each other some saying Samuel was a poor mans CMC. Me personally I feel better about Samuel at this point than CMC(fumble withstanding eeew) because to me he passes the eyeball test. He flashes game breaking speed, his hands look solid and he still is learning the playbook. Slowly but surely he is being brought along into the offense.

 

I think it’s only a matter of time before he catches one of those weekly deep balls. CMC on the other hand is breaking down and his role being decreased almost everywhere. I don’t think we have seen a worse first rounder in terms of blocking in recent memory, and I am almost at the point of saying I would rather see Samuel get his carries at RB. CMC need to just start preparing for his future as a Wes Welker/Edelman type and be done with it.

Defender gets to Samuel behind the line? He makes the man miss. 

Cmc? Stutter step and looks around for his last name to save him.

I haven't been impressed by Samuel at all.  He seems to play timid

Really? Seems he gets 10 yards every time he does the reverse. And as someone above said he does make a man miss and displays decent hands.... haven’t seen him drop any. And on those deep balls I can atleast see the long speed.

CMC is a good football player. Maybe top 10 was to high but he shows 1st round talent. His movement is incredible and many times all he needs is a block or a better pass so he can keep moving.

I still think CMC will be great, just needs a year under his belt, and should add about 10 to 15 pounds of muscle to his frame so he power through defenders more.

Does anyone have the gif of Samuel making that Bucs defender miss in the backfield? 

 

I think we should give him more carries, he still dropped a deep pass.

I thought for sure he was going to get lit up for a loss on that play.  Dude needs more touches, bottom line.  He fast!

Until he adds a good bit of NFL strength I’m afraid McCaffrey is around his ceiling. Right now he can’t even break arm tackles.

Nothing about Samuels hands look “solid”. He’s had 2 or 3 now hit him in the hands and wasn’t able to grab it.

1 in Detroit, 1 against Philly I believe and yesterdays deep ball hit him right in the hand

I believe has caught all the passes he should have caught. You are asking him to make the difficult catches which I would agree he hasn’t. Which is why I said they look solid. When he’s open it’s not like he’s dropping passes... he makes the open catches,slants comebacks he’s been money on those.

What If we switch it up put cmc at wr and Samuel in the back field 

This is what I was thinking... worth a try... maybe we had the formula right just switch around the equation... I don’t think CMC is a natural runningback. He was probably groomed from birth on route running and catching the football like his daddy,only to be placed at runningback.

Defender gets to Samuel in the backfield? He picks up the ball Samuel already dropped

Could be nice if both turn out well.

Of course, this year, apparently it won't matter to most folks.
