I guess my son was right about LaFell. Just another missed opportunity

I would always tell my son that Brandon LaFell sucks, and he would tell me that he is not being used properly.  He also told me that I was going to see this year now that LaFell is in New England. I laughed him off.  I grudgingly had to admit that I was wrong.  And, as such, I believe that Gettleman also miscalculated LaFell's value. Moreover, it just calls into question the offensive play calling in general if you ask me.  Lastly, I think that it shows the difference between playing with an experienced great QB, and a young, good QB.

yeah nope LaFell has never had a good game for us. Ever. Nope.

 

It was a blowout in Chicago, LaFell not now, nor has he ever been a good or great WR.  He's suck through 7 games for the Pats but uh, yeah this oen game makes him the next Anquan Boldin, I guess.

I must say that I've not seen anything from any of the FA WR's we brought in that made me understand why we jettisoned Lafell for them.  Looks like we decided to bring in some older slower guys with equally iffy hands because DG thought he would be easily replaceable.  Having said that, when Cams always getting bulldozed in the backfield it doesn't really matter who our WR's are so the discussion is academic.

He now has 30 receptions on 43 targets over the last 6 games after not being involved in their offense for the first two weeks while learning the system but yeah it is only one game right?  That would put him on pace for about 1200 yards and 10 TDs over 16 games, must be nice for him to have a real QB throwing the ball to him.

Outside of the Buffalo game (KC game two maybe three of his catches came in garbage time with the backups in including Garoppolo, his TD was in the 4th.)  he hasn't done anything spectacular. He's been detrimental in a lot of cases. In week one he was called for offensive PI several times. It's exactly like here in Carolina. Has some impressive games, makes you think he'll turn the corner, and the disappears for a few games or underwhelms. He's a role player, not a starter. 

 

Don't come at me with that weak ass poo nigga if you ain't gonna know the full facts besides checking NFL.com for stats.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
