Gettis and LaFell

[Hoenheim]

What does everyone think about these two so far? I'm really curious. Do you think that they will turn out to be our wide receivers of the future? Do you think we are deep enough at the WR position not to scoop up A.J. Green (or some other good receiver) if that is where the chips fall?

At the rate they are improving each week, I'm fine with going into the season with them at #2/3. They are consistently getting open, getting the ball to them on the other hand is an issue. Despite what many think we are going to be fine at WR, QB and DT are the top priorities.

[PantherFan52]

Considering the QB play they have been pretty good.

These two will shine with Luck.

i like gettis as the future deep threat as the team. he's a tall, big target, he's got incredible speed... the kind of guy that could force double teams and keep a safety playing back (and opening up the running game, which i hear we might be good at.)

lafell reminds me of moose... he's no burner, but he's showing good route-running ability early on and his downfield run blocking is very solid. he's proving to be a decent third-down possession type receiver and i think he could easily take the number two spot.

...which leaves, of course, 89, who could - at long last - play out of the slot and ruin the careers of nickelbacks to his heart's content.

Both have more receptions and yards than DJ did in his 4 years here.

I call that success. Now they just need to avoid becoming Colbert.

Gettis has tremendous upside and I think he'll end up being a very good #2 or possibly #3 if we really stack talent at that position and spread the ball around (ala Giants).

LaFell I don't think is really that great. He's not terrible but just not dynamic, explosive or consistent enough. Just nothing really stands out about his game that makes me think he's going to be a threat that opposing defenses have to worry too much about. Think he ends up as a depth player (#4/5 option) or a #3 that's not used or targeted very often.

Still think we could do well to get a true #1 to replace Smitty who doesn't look to be around much longer.

[OneBadassCat]

I think Gettis will be special and LaFell will be a solid possession WR, a much quicker Moose.

These two will shine with Luck.

Gettis, LaFell, AND Smith will do well next year with Luck

[pantherfan81]

Gettis is going to be like a Dwyane Bowe type player I think. LaFell didn't have the best game against seattle, but I think he ends up being a middle-grade Moose. Not bad.

[Stroupe-a-loop]

They've had promising rookie seasons, which is impressive considering that a lot of receivers don't do that their first year and the quarterback play.

[Rags]

Love Gettis, Like LaFell

pretty confident with both of them.

[MrCreep77]

If Lafell gets better with his hands he will be just fine. gettis is looking great for a rookie and seems to have a very bright future as long as we get an offensive line that is willing to block next year so that the QB can have more than a half a second to look for the open WR.
