LaFell's hands...

[firstdayfan]

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?

it is what it is

good thing they have 37 billion other receivers on the roster.

didnt we get rid of two wr 's a couple years ago who couldnt be relied on to catch the damn ball?

what is it with us and wr's?

[Hairless Cat]

by the way, we will evaluate this going forward

And all are better than Smitty...

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...

Looks like Brandon just came back from a little time-travel stint

I'm gonna show some ignorance here.....

Why would the size of your hands matter? You've learned the game with the same size hands, shouldn't it all be a matter of technique?

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.

This guy told me before, that any size of a guys hands are fine..

[Cyberjag]

LaFell will be fine. He caught a ton of balls when it counted with worse QB play than he'll see from any of the ones we have on the roster.

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*
