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.

      Thanks for the education on that, wasn't aware of this.  Seems odd and counterintuitive, but in Lloyds case I guess that worked to our advantage.

      I am a little worried over the signing. Health concerns mostly.  I think the people that grade it poorly are focusing on sacks as their bar.  His pressure rates were just outstanding. That can lead to poor decisions being made. Bad throws. Sacks by teammates.    I won’t pretend there is no overpay but the guy could have taken less to stay and still been set for life. Maybe he doesn’t think their SB window is still open now, and he might be right. Maybe he thinks there is a bright future for the Panthers. I don’t know. I would think that has some part in it. Parse the words in primarily, I guess, but the phrase “big impression on people”, it is just a true statement. Meaning what it said on its face. I saw so much on twitter and media in the aftermath of that game that told me people took notice. For a lot of them it changed their perception of the Panthers.  PS the money is what it is. Parsons is getting 47 per year. Lots of guys get 30 or will get 30 moving forward.  Colts paid nearly that for 47 receptions and right at 1000 yards. Under 60 yards per game average.  poo is changing in two years it won’t really be noteworthy.

      The deadline for picking up 5th year options is before season 4, not after.
