Naanee or LaFell?

(credit the Saltman for giving me the idea in the "Game Notes thread)

So who should be the starter at the number two receiver spot?

Legedu Naanee is more experienced and looked decent in San Diego, but has failed to develop much chemistry with Cam Newton so far. He's a big target, but watching him jump for a high pass this past Sunday was like watching a kid fall into a swimming pool.

Brandon LaFell has looked better of late, but inconsistency in the preseason seemed to earn him a spot in Rivera's doghouse. He's one of those guys who can make spectacular catches yet drop easy ones.

So if the choice is yours, who do you have starting opposite Steve Smith, and why?

LaFell all the way.

First off... Preseason = Preseason. What happened there has no bearing on what we should look at now as far as QB/WR chemistry.

LaFell has made some big time catches in these past two games, while Naanee hasn't done anything.

And again... just wait until next year when Gettis is back. With Smith, LaFell and Gettis, and now a QB who can deliver the ball... we'll have a receiver corp that gives secondary's nightmares.

LaFell, Naanee has been given more chances this year and still hasn't taken advantage.

LaFell is a better blocker on the outside, and seems to have improved his drops for the time being. Smith can stretch the field with LaFell taking whats available underneath, hes a big strong physical receiver, and can go over the middle.

      You can't keep around a former #1 pick as the backup to his replacement because he wasn't good enough. I think he has two career paths he can take.   The first is as that guy who signs with a new team every year to be the gap starter and/or backup depending on that team's situation.  Think guys like Jameis, Wilson, Brissett the last few years, as he'll be a game manager for them while they try to re-build the roster. The other is as a really good long term backup QB for one team.  He's smart and will make for a great addition to the QB room in film study and game prep.  He won't be a stud replacement if the starter goes down, but he'd be better than most other backups and you know he'll be ready to play when called upon.
