Brandon LaFell eclipsed his career high in receptions, 49 in 2013 with Carolina.  As of this moment he has 53 for 712 with 7 TD.  This production has all come inside 9 games seeing as he didn't even catch a ball the first two games while developing chemistry with Brady.

 

Suppose this could be a bash coaching, bash Cam or praise Patriots/Brady thread but one thing is evident.  LaFell is beasting for New England and it took less than a season for it to happen.

He's not "beasting" for New England. It's a scheme, plug in Dobson all these games and he has 650 yards and 6 TDs (basically the same). LaFell has had crucial drops in crucial times, and is benefitting from the genius Belichick, a lot of time for Brady to throw and having Brady throwing to him. He's been solid but isn't "beasting."

Interesting claim as LaFell is only credited with two drops all season.

Interesting that you say plug Dobson in, when Dobson obviously isn't plugged in even though LaFell has apparently made crucial drops at crucial times.  

 

If 700 yards, 7 TD, and 53 receptions in 9 games isn't beasting, what is?  That rate projects to 1250 yards, 12 TD, and 96 receptions over 16 games....on a team with other options.

12 games buddy. If 1250 yards (which he won't have) is beasting then there are a dozen WRs beasting every year. And I suppose you thought Brandon Lloyd was beasting in 2012 too, right? You look at stats and think you're smart but you clearly have no clue what you're talking about. Watch the games and formulate an opinion. All the coverage is dictated towards Gronk, Vereen and Edelman and LaFell is reaping the benefits. Dobson isn't plugged in because he's been in Belichick's doghouse. He's more talented than LaFell, and anyone who's watched them both play can see that.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
