Lafell makes #1 on top 5 catches of preseason week 3

Seeing him make those catches and miss the easy ones makes me nervous.

Lord knows we don't need him to develop into another Brandon Lloyd.

agreed. brandon lloyd sure could make the dynamic catch every once in a while but it was always in the midst of a bunch of of horrible misses of what should have been easy catches.

i don't want this Brandon L to have the same results as that other Brandon L.

5 drops? I think some of you are being a little hard on the guy. I saw one that was high right on the sidelines, that would have been a great catch, had he made it, so I don't count that as a drop. Also, that TD pass he " dropped" was not really a drop. If anybody has seen the snapshot of that play at the Observer, the DB clearly had his hand on the point of the ball, so that one too would have been a very very tough catch.

You can go back and read my posts from camp the first day he didnt catch a single ball thrown to him. Im sure he can get better but we dont need someone that will be great 3 years from now, we need him now. If we can get one more good not even great reciever then we can go along way this year. Maybe I am to hard on him but he gets paid to perform.

That was a dumb one handed catch. He used one arm to hold himself up and the other to catch the ball. Good catch though

Looked like if he had not held himself up with one hand, he would have gone to the ground too fast and not had a chance to catch the ball. Yes, very good catch.

Yeah, but the first day of camp don't mean anything right now. He will get better as the season goes along anyway. I'm very confident of that.

What? You don't expect a rookie to break every record ever recorded while solving world hunger? Stop being a homer! :P

    • I’m not suggesting that tanking is the right thing to do every time. I do think that if you have guys like Burns and Moore that you will trade anyway, then you should think about tanking and getting max value, especially if you want to grab a QB that might go 1st overall. We tried to do both. Trade CMC for picks but don’t take 3 1sts and a 2nd for Burns and Moore. Instead, we won a few games and then threw in Moore on a trade because we didn’t tank and we gave Burns away for a 2nd. Can you honestly say that fully tanking, by trading away all our best guys who weren’t in future plans, in 2022 wouldn’t have made our team better now? We wanted a rookie QB and we didn’t extend the main guy we didn’t want to trade. We were 100% in full tear down and we could have been a playoff team last year if we used the 4 extra 1sts or 3 1sts and 2 2nds (counting picks saved on Young by being pick 3 or 4 not 9) on D. Culture building is funny. It took three coaching changes to seemingly get there. Morgan and Canales weren’t in charge when we “protected” our culture. We still traded Burns and Moore, we just lost 3 first round picks in the process. Also, do you think the Eagles are in a bad place because of their coach clearly tanking a game for a draft pick? Remember that? It was obvious and the coach was fired. The funny thing is that this is something teams do all the time but they add their stars (like Cam in 2016, CMC, Burns, etc.) to IR or rest them in week 16/17. Pederson was just dumb and made it obvious. He could have just sat his starters to start. Anyway, did that incident tank risk their credibility? Did Barkley decide to not sign with them? Seems like their SB win and other SB visit say they are just fine. Winning makes culture, picking the right coach makes culture, trading away guys who are on other teams in a year for top picks and keeping more picks by having a better starting pick to trade up, does not impact culture. If it helps you win, culture will be fine, ask the Eagles.
