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.

      10 more carries and he'd be top 3

      Dion Dawkins on his confrontation with A’Shawn Robinson

      By PantherBoy95 · Posted

      Eh, hate to say it but I disagree here. A'Shawn trying telling him we can fight after the game shows where his head was at, and it wasn't in football. And if Ekwonu can get any tips from Dawkins who is a 4x Pro Bowler I'm all for it. Oh well, we live to fight another week. Would love if we're the ones frustrating the Packers with a blowout this time.

      Dowdle would probably be leading rusher or close to it had he been the lead back all season most of those guys in front have more volume of carries. Makes you wonder how his talent didn't flash in practice seeing how little use he got in the early part of the season.  It's not like it came out of nowhere he rushed for a 1000 yards last season even though just like here he started as backup and didn't get significant carries until the 2nd half of the season, Cowboys were playing an ineffective Zeke in front of him. Not sure why Jerry didnt try to resign him, but they paid for that in the game against us. Canales seemed determined to repeat the same mistake as Dallas, hopefully he's gotten out of his own way.  This team has lacked identity the past few seasons, especially have been missing that fire starter on offense like he had with Cam, Jonathan Stewart, Steve Smith's of the world. We had that briefly for 2 games hopefully the 2nd half of the season we can get back to that brand of football where teams know what we're doing but can't stop it.
