LaFell stunned by promotion

Recommended Posts

WR Brandon LaFell was pleasantly surprised. QB Jimmy Clausen was relieved there were no surprises for him.

The Panthers rookies talked a few moments ago about their paths this camp, which have taken different turns.

LaFell said he didn't expect to be running with the starters this soon, but he's also confident he belongs.

"I was real surprised," he said of his promotion for the moment.

The Panthers are still rotating players and looking combinations, but LaFell's been a quick study.

Gantt said he'd have more on LaFell and Clausen in tomorrow's paper

Pat Yasinskas' two cents:

Carolina rookie wide receiver Brandon LaFell said he was surprised to get work with the first team. I’m not the least bit surprised. When I visited Carolina’s camp, the brass said it was only a matter of time until LaFell got that chance and he’ll be the starter opposite Steve Smith unless there’s a major regression. This may or may not mean the end of Dwayne Jarrett’s time in Carolina. He has a chance to stick around as a backup. But the Panthers have given up any illusion of Jarrett ever developing into a regular starter.

I think Pre-Season will show us who will take the #2 spot. This battle is a long way from being over but I think LaFell is progressing well. I also think DJ will not be on the roster come game day. He ether is not smart enough to know his routes or just dose not care. Ether way Wallas Wright and a bunch others deserve his spot more then him.

    • I have already said I am out on Bryce so let’s not even bring him up here. I think XL sucks even if he were to have Mahomes throwing to him.   This rep alone is enough to see he doesn’t have what it takes to be a regular starter in the NFL. At least try to make the catch you idiot      
    • Way back in my younger days as a reporter, I had to go and cover a D.A.R.E. graduation event at a local school. They had two NASCAR racing teams there for the kids to meet. Teams sponsored by two different beer companies, one of which had just won the Winston Cup (wow, really back in the day, and a cigarette brand if you didn't know).  The kids were having a ball and were in awe of the drivers and crew members, they loved seeing the cars. I leaned over to the DARE officer from the Sheriff's Department and said, "You do realize that you told these kids to swear they'd never drink or smoke or use drugs and look who sponsors all this." The look of realization just washed across his face and he glanced side-eyed back at me and said, "Well, poo." Advertising and marketing are so fuging pervasive in everything we do that the public really doesn't stand a chance anymore. And gambling is doing a full on press for this generation and the next.  Sports gambling has always existed and always will, but this industrialized one is more than parasitic, it's viral. I'm not sure if the patient will survive it, but if it does, there will be a mighty shock to the system before it lets go.
    • I've heard the rumors Kyler Murray ends up on an East Coast team next year. Young for Murray straight up, who says no?
