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.

      Charlotte Hornets Offseason Moves

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic

      I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
