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.

      Yeah I think he's just talking continuity it's not really an endorsement. Also I would think CarolinaHuddle of all places would understand using "we" for the team you follow. I can't STAND when dorks do the "Oh so you play for them then? Hurr hurr"

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).
