Report: LaFell to move to #2 WR spot vs. Colts

[Swarly]

it's about fuging time

seems like LaFell makes a least a big play every game. Legedu was never gonna be the guy going forward in the long run so I see no reason why it took this long for LaFell to get his shot.

becuz it took Rivera over half the season to give Legadu his fake injury.

I watched the majority of his LSU games & researched him coming out. Draftniks, etc. also spoke about his blocking skills. It was clear the blcoking phase of the game was important for WRs according to Fox, b/c pointed out the importance of that phase of the game for WRs on multiple occasions. I had a feeling back then we would draft him d/t his blocking, since Fox was our coach. I didn't say he was a good blocker b/c Fox said so.

Again, that was college. What has he done in the NFL? The only time he has got significant playing time, the Panthers could not run the ball at all. I like Lafell and think he can be a solid #2 player. But I don't want to hear what he did in college or middle school. Naanee has actually been the Panthers best blocking WR this year. I dare you to find any Panthers player or coach who would say otherwise. That said, he isn't the future and should be the 3rd WR at best.

no your not. it just aggravated me that you questioned my post with your OPINION when it clearly stated that it was a direct quote from rivera

Lol.

"how dare you question my post? Don't you know who I am? You keep your facts away from my post from now on okay, or I'll change my argument again and try to make you look silly!!"

If you post something incorrect, I have every right to correct it. You aren't on a pedestal.

What exactly makes u think he's been the best blocking WR we have?

[nickzz]

i'd put him as our 3rd best blocking wr but i haven't seen edwards or pilares play

He also had a strong block on Cam's TD run.

LaFell is doing well for a second year player, in both facets. Naanee is definitely the best blocker, but the offense loses a threat at the position. Some will want a blocker like Naanee in there to help out the run game. I'd give up some blocking ability in the run game to put a better receiver on the field.

Naanee doesn't warrant having safety help over the top and allows defenses to key in on Smith and the tight ends. One dimensional players also make it really easy for teams to find tendencies based on substitutions.

[Ricky Spanish]

i don't know if you guys know this but naanee was a hybrid "f back" in san diego. he played FB, WR, and TE. two of those three positions you need to be a damn good blocker in order to play.

Lol.

lol your a fuggin idiot.. you weren't correcting chit. I'm tired of trying to explain it to you. IT WAS A DIRECT QUOTE FROM RIVERA. HOW DO YOU CORRECT THAT!? YOUR OPINION MEANS NOTHING. AN OPINION THAT'S WHAT YOU GAVE.. NOT A FACT BUT AN OPINION. once you get that through your little brain then the sooner you would stfu.. child please

so I'm pretty sure I'm the one getting trolled. Get a life you immature idiotic fug

[Floppin]

Just because he said that he like's Naanee's blocking does not mean that he is playing him because of his blocking, nor that he is the best blocking WR on the team. You're drawing your own conclusions from the quote you posted earlier.

Not gonna lie...I did ponder this...might be the Panther way of quietly sitting someone down

He's already made it pretty clear his opinion is superior to yours, mine and everyone elses. Go ahead and stick him on ignore and be done with it. You are correct though, nothing Rivera said in that quote he listed would indicate that Legs is the premier blocker whats-his-face is making him out to be.

FWIW, that kind of response is a troll response regardless of who is right or wrong. Trolling by personal attacks usually gets you warned and then banned. You could easily make the point without the fuggin idiot and STFU comments.

Just sayin.....................

Rivera straight out said the reason Naanee was 2nd was because of his familiarity with the offense. He has also given praise to his blocking, but the reason he was starting was likely more the fact he was helping the offense get lined up... kinda important given our situation.
