He dropped a touchdown pass last night, which only further lends to what the scouts were saying about him. We can't afford that kind of play during the regular season. He needs to step his game up, and he needs to do it fast.

On a positive note he showed that he could get separation and he has some decent jumping ability, so I am still optimistic about his future here, albeit cautiously.

I think we will wish we could merge the two to form a WR by the end of the season. Jarrett has the better size and better hands. LaFell did get off the line quicker than Jarrett.....but didn't show anything yet outside that aspect last night. LaFell didn't look good going up for that ball but it is early and it was one game.....(nice throw though).

Dropped it? You mean the pass were the defender had a full hand on the ball and knocked it away?

which td pass? first quarter? where he was in the middle of two defensemen?

the perfect throw by Clausen into the endzone. He looked like a rookie WR in his first NFL game going up for that one. No biggie. He just hasn't shown anything yet...still lots of time for him to. Weak play....I don't care so much they he didn't catch but he was not very strong trying to get to it.

Im going to reserve my judgment on the Wrs till week 1 of the regular season. 1 preseason game isn't going to prove shiit.

THANK YOU!!! Jesus Christ!!! I just don't understand why people are freaking out about our wide receivers right now. It was one preseason game, they're allowed to drop balls, run wrong routes, take a poo in the girl's bathroom... I mean, come on?!?!?!?! They've got three more weeks of preseason before a final roster is even drawn up. And the guys that line up in week 1 of the regular season might not even be the starting line-up three or four games into the season. You just can't judge a receiver on one game... and from what I've heard from Training Camp, Jarrett still looks like he's got his hands on the starting job. But Lafell has looked excellent.

if you're talkin about the one im talkin about you're out of your mind. The Cornerback luckily got his hand in it in time. Brandon used his size real well. Not his fault.

he was only thrown to once in the endzone. Not that I agree with the commentators always but they also pointed out that big WRs can go up weak like that. I mean, you have to imagination to make it that he went up strong and used his body well.

No it doesn't prove poo. I do think 4 preseason games will give an idea. Not the total picture but it should show whether or not LaFell is ready right away.

It was a good through. I wouldn't call it perfect however. It could have been higher, especially since the CB was tall too (6'1 I think). I think that play was more of a result of a good defensive play than LaFell dropping the pass.

yeah, perfect was a bit much but I was highly impressed by that throw from Clausen. I really liked Clausen's work in the pocket also...very calm yet alert.

Hopefully the weather is good next week. Unforunately, LaFell didn't get enough looks to really see anything.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      Then why are they paying QBs so much compared to other players? QB are making so much it's harder and harder to pay other players. If a guy plays like 1 of 11 then there pay should be in line with that. Not all QB should be breaking the bank just because your next or a former 1st rounder There is a reason they say try to win it all on a QB rookie deal because after that they can cripple a team on what it can do. I would rather not do that for a bottom 1/3 QB. Cam and Jake have been the only QBs worth investing long term into this team has had I would rather not lower the bar. If a guy don't got the IT factor and it shows I would rather not invest long term into them and keep looking

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
