Gettis Vs Lafell

as rookie's LaFell looked to be more complete.

LaFell is coming off a strong 2nd season. I think he has potential to really make progress in year 3 (which is big for WRs).

I think Gettis will be more if a situational WR running his deep route.

I think LaFell has the better season next year as well. He came around the last few games and although I think Gettis is going to be a stud, LaFell will have the better year next season.

Smith, LaFell, Gettis, ? , ?

We have a good 1-2-3 punch at WR next year. Going to be interesting to see who fills those final 2 spots.

I think LaFell will have an incredible year next year, also.

I think the mix of receivers we have are very good.

Smitty is electric, can do multiple things really well, and is a true leader.

LaFell is strong, bulky, can make routes across the middle, and can block really well.

Gettis is fast, runs a really awesome deep route, and provides someone who can take the top off the defense.

I personally think Gettis is getting lost in all of this because he has taken a year off.

I like both LaFell and Gettis and not going to get caught up in the numbers. Both will have similar numbers IMO.

They are different types of receivers. Lafell is a possession receiver while Gettis is someone you put on the outside for mismatches with his speed and size.

I would like to see Gettis & Lafell do some "Off-season" workouts with Cam. I know I heard Cam is going to be "working" like normal until the Superbowl. Maybe Cam's LEADERSHIP in this area will bring other guys in, that could use a little extra work for the upcoming Playoff run next year!

Anyone think this is possible?

    • If you look at almost all Daniels stats, they are as good or better than last year minus perhaps Completion Percentage. I don't think Daniels himself is having very much less individual success than the Redskins are reverting to the mean.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts#wsh Barnwell wrote about them in the preseason as a team that had an inordinate amount of luck or success in one score games that wasn't very likely to be repeated.
    • We thinking of the same Mike White? He probably won’t even make it off the practice squad.
    • I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.
