As the title goes who do you think will be the better WR and just what potential do you see them having? What WR's would you compare them to?

I think the sky's the limit for Gettis. He's still pretty raw but he seems like an intelligent guy willing to work hard. A faster Miles Austin perhaps?

At the same time though LaFell seems like a pretty clutch WR. I think he's also faster than he lets on, a deceptive burner. Potential: A. Boldin?

Of course we'd all like them to end up being probowlers, but what do you think will really happen in their future?

And don't say we can't tell yet because that's obvious, it's the off season who cares.

i really like both...but i will go with gettis...he needs to get better at using his hands to catch the ball more instead of pinning it into his body but he runs some great routes and has the ability to burn corners deep...i think we got a steal with gettis

I think Gettis has the greatest potential, but I think that Lafell is more likely to be a solid player.

Gettis has issues with run blocking, he sometimes has route running issues, but when he gets it right he can break some ankles with his speed and burst.

Lafell's already got a solid base but needs to work on his hands. He's deceptively fast, can use his body well, and when he focuses, can make AMAZING catches.

They both can be great, but I think that Gettis' floor and ceiling are quite different from Lafell's.

I was checking out their draft profiles and they both actually have some comparable combine numbers. Gettis runs the 40 faster but LaFell runs the 20 yd shuttle quicker than Gettis. But there are always so many variables to that stuff imo.

Lafell is not slow, but Gettis seems to be able to really burn at times.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
