Who will be the better WR? David Gettis vs. Brandon LaFell

[OneBadassCat]

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.

Gettis has the size and speed.

[CRA]

LaFell. I think he can simply be a more diverse WR.

Gettis and I'm not sure it's even close. LaFell's hands are still too inconsistent and it seems like Gettis has another gear that LaFell just doesn't possess....

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.

Need a qb or they both will suck

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, at this point Gettis seems like a one-trick pony (deep threat).

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

no poo, that wasn't the question

No matter the question, Cam Newton is the answer! ;)

I like both and think that they make good complimentary receivers to Adriel Jeremiah Green (Our #1 pick)

Better depends on what you value. Speed and stretching the field vertically or being a possession receiver and making first downs. Gettis is more explosive but LaFell has better hands and body control.

I think both will be valuable.
