What's the word on Brandon Lafell heading into 11-12?

[Saint J]

I like the Moose comparison...Lafell has a great work ethic, I don't see him flaming out in Carolina.

i disagree that lafell has mediocre speed. he may not be the fastest receiver straight line sprinting, but he can get from 2nd-5th gear really well.

[beastson]

He got sneaky speed

He got sneaky speed

Yes Lafell's speed is very underrated.

I couldn't think of any way to really describe his speed.

I didnt want to say that he was a blazer, but I also didn't want to say he was dragging a piano behind him.

So I chose "mediocre speed" to indicate that he did in fact have a decent amount of speed, but is not Usain Bolt.

You got that right. I spent the better part of last season just studying the WR routes and trust me, Lafell has speed. Very sneaky. He can break away if he needs to for a few extra yards.

I can agree with that too.

I see him becoming the Moose type like we mentioned, but I also see a "Jordy Nelson" type of potential for him.

Nelson and LaFell make good catches but don't always blow by or juke the shorts out of defenders.

They both have the ability to make very good plays, make good concentrated catches when needed, and what they lack in athleticism they make up for in "manipulation" of defenders.

[Panthro]

Lafell drops a number of passes that cannot be blamed on anyone but himself

[OneBadassCat]

I think LaFell is faster than Moose ever was.

[Davidson Deac II]

He got sneaky speed

So did Moose, at least until the last few years.

[davos]

Him and Moose are practically identical Weight and Height

Adequate is the word. :)

Neither one can catch a quick slant, so thank god for new "vertical passing" offense
