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.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
