Naanee or LaFell?

Ouch :sosp:

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

I think familiarity with the system and that's it. I think if Gettis was healthy Naanee would still have got the nod....initially. LaFell will over take him in a few weeks.

Gettis.... wait Well both have there problems but LaFell seems to be the guy that can make the circus catches so I vote him. He also is a monster in the run blocking game.

I still hold to my statement that Naanee only made the team over Guy and Clowney because he was from SD. Both of those players played at the same level he has.

I hate typing his name...I always forget how to spell it.

Id assume its Charger bias, its a lot like the Cowboys - Dolphins connection, it seems whenever the Cowboys drop someone, the Dolphins take them.

Rivera came into Charlotte pretty high on both LaFell and David Gettis - whom he referred to in his initial presser as "11 and 12" - but seemed to sour on both in training camp and preseason (LaFell more so than Gettis). That's a big reason why Naanee is on roster.

So was this a bad choice?

Lafell should be starting now. Those catches he made last Sunday are the elite catches that the BEST make.

Consistency has been Lafell's weakness, not ability.

[Lout]

I actually would not have Naanee as our 2nd or 3rd WR. I'd put Pilhares in the slot. Naanee is not a slot guy. Naanee I think actually makes more poor plays than good one's. IMO he is hurting the team, not helping.

Lafell. Legedu lacks the ability to separate from defenders.

lafell

[klumme]

When you start on a team with over 800 yds through the air and you only have 35 then you are not doing your job.

[Gipetto]

lafell is on pace for a respectable 700-800 yard season while legs is no where to be found. The jury is still out on tutu thoa.

[CatMan72]

I think Nanee is starting right now because he knows the playbook better and he can run the routes from several different WR positions... having said that, LaFell needs to take over as the # 2 guy. Nanee's greatest asset is probably as a slot receiver to begin with, he's a possession type guy who can run those slant routes on 3rd down and get you a 1st down.

[Oldschool Leroy]

My qustion: Is LaFell routinely getting separation? I think he blocks better and has made some great catches. Naanee is not blocking well. He does get open but he and Cam have not connected on too many. I think he was brought in because of no mini camps and otas. He knew how to be a receiver in this this offense from the first day of training camp. I think it is just a matter of time until LaFell overtakes him if there is no bias involved.

I dont think it was a bad choice but I also dont think he knew what he had in Gettis and LaFell. Both are not Practice all stars but come alive in real game action.
