Naanee or LaFell?

[Mr. Scot]

(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?

Too easy...

LaFell

LaFell. Better than Naane at everything, including Twitter.

[jcinhere]

Lafell. I think he is just a better WR.

Ouch :sosp:

Curious as to why people think Naanee is starting right now? Ex-Charger bias, or did he actually earn it?

Too funny, I had to pick up a WR in fantasy today (#3 WR) and it was down to Naanee and LaFell. Guess who I took?

[Ivan The Awesome]

Was this a serious question?

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.

I gotta go with LaFell. He's made the big grabs when we needed them the last two weeks, and Legedu hasn't shown me much. I say stick with the hot hand....plus, I have a LaFell jersey I got as a gift, and it would be groovy to have a reason to wear it! <I don't believe I just used the word groovy>

[Mr ocho nueve]

Naane is just a Rivera guy that he has "loyalty" to. I'm sure LaFell will continue to outshine him.

LaFell
