LaFell's hands...

I was watching the camp wrap up video on panthers.com and they showed a two or three second clip of lafell running a drill and at the end of it he dropped a ball that hit him right in the chest. I like brandon's size, physicality, and quickness but his hands are a major concern. This was his biggest knock on him coming out of college and it's all anyone can talk about when his name gets brought up. I have had the drops before and it's definitely something that can be improved but at this point it seems like a problem. It's weird bc the one thing that jarrett has been exceptional at in his career here has been the lack of drops and his knack for making great catches.

Anybody else worried about this or am I reading way to much into it?

Not sure when the Panthers.com video was from, but LaFell commented that he had an injured hand on Saturday when he went to sign an autograph - may have had something to do with the drops? I could see some blood coming through the bandage on his right hand...

All I've got to say is if LaFell turns into a continual "dropper," the front office has themselves to blame. That's the biggest knock against the kid right now.

I hope he turns out great for us. I'm just worried about some of the criticisms I've read. But I like his toughness and enthusiasm for blocking.

I guess for his height his hands are smallish, but Smitty doesn't have huge hands and how many does he drop? It's an excuse for his drops.

How do the pundits explain away drops from a guy who doesn't have small hands? *cough* Jarrett *cough*

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
