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.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      By Basbear · Posted

      My unbelievable pile is touching the moon now-a-days. Bill is ultra control freak if there was ever one in the NFL, he's the guy. He stayed off SM and hate hate hated the media..........(wow bill what did you do in 2024??!?!?!).  So this guy, 100% control freak, just gave away all his SM to a 24 year old?? He doesn't understand SM at all... This is the same level as 8 time SB winner coming to coach UNC, after all this NIL BS that drove out his other control freak coaching friends.  This time line is insane.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Basbear · Posted

      Unless its 2021 renfrow, Moore is 30, jimmy horn was picked 208 in a weak draft.... I mean they just rid of Clowney cause of number of snaps, so Moore could follow that. NFL is unforgiving missing a full year and deal with disease is very hard to over come.  The only locks are- Tmac, XL, AT. Coker is close, but if he shows up in poor shape, he could be cut.  If horn wins the 5th, all George has to do is show he's more valuable than the listed above. renfrow could be a PS guy as he continues to get back in NFL shape. Moore has been on like 8 teams and just a fine fit with the Dave system.  I mean for the first time in I don't know when, there is a real battle to make the #4-#6 WR room. It's good to cut good players...  Lastly who knows, one or two injuries hit and George easily makes the 53. I got him currently as the #6. 4 others are right there too, I heard Dave say Kobe Hudson name during a presser. He's in the mix too.
