Should Curtis Samuel be moved to RB?

Dude would not last playing RB, he'd get injured on the first series. 

Not like he's being properly utilized right now anyway. Get some yardage out of him.

Exactly. Would it matter if he gets injured since he isn't making an impact at WR?

No he shouldn’t get a full compliment of carries right now but there’s no reason to not give him 6-8 touches a game out of the backfield and 3-5 targets a game while we feed DJ and RA. With CMC hurt, now is the time to experiment and give people different looks. The coaches are locked in for years. Let’s try some new stuff.

Myles Hartsfield coming to a backfield near you! (•‿•)

Sanu has a much stronger resume. And what was thought to be a reasonable contract for another year. But he fell apart. CS is a pure rental. And at some point potential has to equal production. 

Actually he didn’t at the time of the trade .  I thought so too until I looked up his stats

Unless he makes some magic happen soon, I can't imagine we re-sign him.  Try anything at this point, or ship him out in a couple of weeks for whatever pick we can get. 

As others have mentioned, he's an interesting idea for NE.  If Cam's shoulder holds up, they can finally connect on that deep ball we always wanted to see.

Im for that now, even before the injury to CMC. His body is a WR now, not the combo rookie year. I remember Samuel being interviewed about this topic years ago. His response was like "NO WAY, Im strictly a WR now". I think hes one those that doesnt like contract/getting hit. If you run up the middle 10 times. First he would not do that, he'd bounce out wide.... the other is there would be another RB on IR before he got it 10 times.

really wish we’d sign Fournette for that 1y/2m deal. Double trouble all over again, no risk, even with cmc it wouldn’t been great. Fournetter wearing them down and cmc breaking ankles

ahhh but what do I know, I’m no Hurney

Hurney depth magic, Davis about to break out

He wouldn't last five games before he is injured. The guy is 5'11 and weighs 195 lbs. Can't go up the middle and would probably get pancaked trying to block. Don't know what you can do with him besides pitches down the sidelines and reverses.

[Waldo]

The moto should be 'why not' at this point. CMC isn't there and he was the entire foundation of the O. We have 28 to pound it. Throw poo until something sticks. At worst he will be on another team next year at best we find a way to get production out of him. 

[ImaginaryKev]

Yeah. Shaq Thompson should be too

Maybe not that certain year but Sanu had at least 4+ solid years to CS two. You knew(or thought) what you were getting is the company line. Don’t get me wrong. I thought it was a mistake as well. That was way too much for a low end WR2. Like I said, the thing they liked(another year under contract) became useless when they decided he wasn’t worth 6.5M and cut him. They need WR badly but still wouldn’t overpay him. Byrd seriously beat him out. 
 

But you’re not getting more than a 4th for Samuel. He’s proven he’s talented and highly inconsistent. I like him. There’s a good player in there. Get a pick. Give the snaps to the future. Heck. Sign him in the off-season. Anything he does good now just raises the likelihood he doesn’t resign.

So Fournette is making less than Mike Davis? 
 

OK  then.

Move Samuel to the backfield for the time being and sign Ryan Switzer.
