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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
