Forget Moore/Clausen, Let's Talk LaFell/Jarrett

LaFell admittedly had a horrible game. Should Jarrett start next week? I'm not on his jock but he looked like a better option for our second receiver. The coaches know more than any of us and obviously don't like him for whatever reason, but when thrown to he makes catches. His YAC is probably negative, but possession wise he is solid. So I know the hot debate this week is Moore or Clausen, but should Jarrett get a starting look over LaFell for a few games?

I just don't see where LaFell played "horrible." He had one drop. Made some nice blocks. Neither of them is a true #2 right now, so I think they will probably end up rotating them.

He didn't produce. He was targeted 8 times, catching 2 passes for 21 yards.

LaFell is going to be a good player, but DJ is the better player right now.

Yeah he was targeted 8 times. Two catches. One was horribly thrown off target. Another was a bad throw. One was a drop. One he got us 30 yds on a PI penalty. So thats 6 of the 8. I dont remember the other two. Am I saying he tore it up out there? Absolutely not, but it wasn't that bad. I'm glad Jarrett did well, though.

The PI penalty isn't counted in the targets number (not 100% certain in that).

WR is just a really hard position to learn. Let the game come to the rookie and send DJ out there.

DJ had about all of the production that you could ask for out of the 3rd WR in Carolina's offense.

By the way your avatar is absolutely ridiculous, in a wonderfully great way.

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
