LaFell has all the makings of a decent WR, great hands, can fight for the ball and can run routes. My thing with him is speed, he seems slow as molasses on that field. If he had more speed and quickness he could be great. I think he will get faster/quicker and now with a real QB he can start setting goals and expectations for himself. I like how he said he knew Cam was the guy game 1. I do hope the pressure helps him and doesn't break him; I didn't like how he said he was 'legit, a legit #2'...maybe he knows he doesn't have the speed to be a #1.

Perhaps this is something that Smitty has told Lafell to build his confidence up. On 2nd thought, I'm sure this is something he's probably told Lafell repeatedly.

"Hey dog, you're bigger, strong, and more physical than me. If I can go over the middle and out physical these DB's than there's no way you shouldn't be able too."

Kinda like when he told Double Trouble that they're better than him, because two heads are better than one.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
