Panthers trade for wide receiver Laviska Shenault

[stratocatter]

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.

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.

TMJ was the beneficiary to Burrows 2019 Campaign at LSU. Even then, he was miles behind Chase and Jefferson in terms of production. 

Pretty sure Marshall had his best year after Burrow left

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.
