Brandon Lafell

[PanthersClinic]

Ahh yes the old stats argument. Carry on.

 

You don't even have an argument other than labeling him mediocre. Those stats didn't create themselves. He went out there and caught the damn ball, something our WRs certainly aren't doing.

 

[OneBadCat]

Lafell is a good player but not worth the contract in our situation. You guys are also forgetting that he failed to step up last year. But now since his numbers are a little better while playing with the greatest QB of all time people are flipping poo.

[TheRed]

Meh. I was a fan of his, and frequently defended him from the "Lafail" bullshit, but even I couldn't defend him anymore by seasons end. Lafell basically sealed his own fate, if he hadn't mostly disappeared in the second half of a contract year, he would probably still be here.

 

Wish him well regardless, what's done is done.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

He's nothing special. It's no surprise his numbers are marginally better in New England's system than when he was working under the great Mike Shula. He's still not going to crack 1000 yards and literally nobody on this board though we should have outbid what NE paid for him when he initially signed with them. Anyone bringing this up as a reason to trash the FO is really reaching hard.

Reche Caldwell put up 61 catches and 4 TDs in NE as well... Just sayin'. LaFell found a situation where he wasn't under pressure as a primary target and is playing well.

Donald's back at it! Just wait, the Pats will be playing the AFC Championship game and down 3 on the other team's 5 yard line with 1 minute left the ball will go off his hands and get picked off for the loss.

[Gallagher]

Anyone who watched that game last night saw some classic Brandon "Stone Hands" LaFell.

[EightyNine]

4 weeks left and LaFell has career highs this year in TDs, yards and catches. He's an important part of a balanced NE passing attack.

 

Far above mediocre.

 

Well he wasn't producing that way when he was here..

 

Sometimes, a player benefits from a change of scenery for a variety of reasons.  You can't just assume he would be worth the same amount of money to us.

[Doc Holiday]

could not afford him. plain and simple.

couldnt afford him? He's the one receiver from last year that I don't miss. He's have a decent year with NE but I don't care or miss him. Some player just need to a change of scenery to play like they care.

[B.BERSIN]

OP's football IQ is ridiculous.

[Mojo]

He's doing well and good for him. He's also playing with Brady, edelman and gronk. He just wasnt a great option here. Let him shine and let it go.

[carolina-chuck1]

Lol you some of you guys are stupid.

LaFail would've made a difference, sthu. Dude still suck balls

 yeah just sayin' if we had a good system and great QB it wouldn't matter who we brought in at WR. You are sayin it is not the wr as much as the QB and the scheme?

I'm saying that average receivers look better when playing in an offense full of other stars with one of the best all-time QBs. Who would've guessed?
