"It hasn't come easy for LaFell, who struggled to grasp the new offense and suffered a hamstring injury in training camp. He came back from the injury better than ever – physically and mentally.

That first week I was really struggling. I really wasn't going out there and playing fast because I was thinking so much about doing this and that," LaFell said. "But when I injured my hamstring, I had time while I was rehabbing to look at the playbook more and watch and talk to the coaches and talk to the quarterbacks and ask what they wanted.

"Stuff is starting to slow down now. I'm starting to understand defenses and reading them on the run instead of getting a pre-snap read and being stuck with what I read before the play started."

      Is Tua our next QB?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      He has a heftier contract than you would think. I think the issue is that the Texans will want likely more than he is worth. They are in no great need of trading him.  I am fine with Mills as a bridge attempt, no issue with that. I just don't want to be seeing top 4 round draft picks headed out the door, even considering our lack of ability to capitalize on them.

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.
