LaFell's hands...

Recommended Posts

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*

    • Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts? 
    • nope     This is why we come back every year.  Hope springs eternal
    • It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
