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.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
