I said this in the other bfail thread.

"BFail, has burned all the bridges. I stood up for him while he was here but now I wish I hadn't. What a complete tool bag. Have fun watching from the sidelines after they Steven Ridley your ass for dropping a wide open pass from Mr. Hair Club For Men."

Had a feeling after Harper signed that he was gonna be another Mike Mitchell type (i.e. fans who hated him as an opponent would like him as a Panther).

 

This is the kind of thing that lends to that.

Can't go that far at all. I will be happy though, if he doesn't cheap shot other players and cost us penalties.

Harper is okay by me. He's a Panther now so all is forgiven.

I'm actually starting to warm up to Harper

So, it sounds as if to be a successful WR in the Patriots offense, one would need to be more of the cerebral WR.

Uh oh, it's not sounding good for a receiver that on occasion lined up in the wrong place in a number system...

If the Pats practice harder than the Panthers, does Lafell have to put more work into dropping easy catches?

I don't get why players, especially stupid ones, don't take into account things like system/terminology or fitting that system.  It's not hard to know what system a team runs, or that there really aren't so many changes between teams that run the three major systems; if you know your system, you're not starting from scratch, you know the language, you know the plays you'll do best with. 

 

But, he's an average player that's trying to be the 4th best player at his position on a new team, so who knows whether he had the option to choose systems or whether he wanted to stay with numbers/Coryell.  

 

The only thing you know for sure is, he stands to have fewer snaps available this year and he's made plenty of comments about struggling with change.

it not that the Pats work harder. it's that Lafail has to work hard to be a Pat....lol

Oh weee romeee.

I get the feeling that Harper is one of those guys that goes all in for his team (ie: Smitty or Mike Mitchell). Hate him when he's not on your side, love his emotion and passion when he is (though we'll still love Smitty in Baltimore, but I mean all other NFL fans).

 

I think as the season rolls and Harper has more opportunities like this to stick up for his team, we're going to grow to like his passion. I just hope he plays well on the field, that much remains to be seen.

Ha, just realized my post above is exactly what you said. What I get for not reading the whole thread.

I hate that there is so much Lafell hate on this board.

He has left many memories on the field...like. Dropped passes that hit him in the hands..or when he is wide open...or unable to seperate from most avg cbs.

Other than that I dont understand the hate.
