Gettis & LaFell: Keys to Success

[Car123]

and as some other poster pointed out, Gettis does look a little like Lupe Fiasco

He does. I had to double take when I saw that pic in the op.

I sincerely hope they break out this year. That way next year the team can focus on other spots of the team during draft day.

Both of them are going to have major problems taking the top spot from #89. I think Smith still has 2-4 years of being a top guy.

Lafell looks like he can be a quality receiver but Gettis has the big frame with that elite speed that can't be taught. I think Lafell is sharper because of his experience in a big time program but Gettis has a higher ceiling. In any event our offense has the potential to be really nasty.

[Donald LaFell]

I think LaFell is better than Gettis. I think Gettis is more of a deep threat and for the longer routes. LaFell looks like a guy that can do it all. I like him better for the slot, the middle, and the shorter routes. They both showed pretty good separation.

LaFell seems more like your consistent, strong handed receiver, who is going to be just a steady force. I feel like Gettis has that superstar potential with his big frame and blinding speed. I love both of them.

I noticed that Gettis is a monster when it comes to getting open and splitting away from the defense.

LaFell seems pretty elusive when he gets the ball in his hands.

In my opinion, it's a bit like a Fitz/Boldin deal. Gettis is a bit like Fitz and LaFell a bit like Boldin.

while I would love to see that comparison come true, I wouldn't put it at that level yet.

LaFell might be better at tracking as well. I tell you what draws me to liking him just a lil more, he plays as stupid as he acts. Sometimes he says stupid things that make you laugh and sometimes he makes some stupid ridonkulous one handed plays. I mean sure its better for a receiver to get two hands on the ball and make the catch, but its incredible to be able to make those plays under pressure and leave a db stupified.

Just fun to watch. :cornut: Thas why he dat deal.

I have high hopes for both of these kids, hell and if Armanti turns into a threat in the slot, 10 11 12 are going to make some noise. Really excited to watch these young WRs mature and come into their own. What Lafell and Gettis bring to the table individually and then together is a prototypical 1/2 punch. Hopefully they take notes from 89. I'd really like Smith to take on a little bit of a coaching role these next few seasons and take these guy under his wing. At least just by watching him they see the fire and passion and I hope both of these guys play with chips on their shoulders.

Looking forward to Pilares as well.

Not saying they're there yet, but I was comparing there sizes, strengths, and styles to the Cardinals former 1-2 punch at receiver.
