Brandon LaFell: Panthers WRs as good as anyone’s in NFL

Brandon LaFell said this.

Brandon LaFell, who caught a lot of passes Wednesday while Steve Smith visited a doctor, was asked where the Panthers’ receivers rank in relation to the rest of the league.

“We’ve got guys that can compete with anybody,” LaFell said. “I don’t feel like there’s a secondary that really can stop us because we’ve got as many guys as anyone else has that can get open and make plays.”

But Smith, a five-time Pro Bowler entering his 12th season, is the unquestioned leader of the group.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Smith is being treated with antibiotics for an infection that developed after last week’s exhibition win against Miami. Trainers are waiting for the swelling to go down in Smith’s foot before deciding whether he will play Sunday against the Jets.

lol, I didn't see anyone post this. So I went ahead and posted it. If it's been posted my bad. I'll just post boobs or something to make up for it.

I didn't post it. I've taken quite the beating in the past few days. Gotta let poo die down for a while. Tough to stay off the huddle when I'm bored though

Receivers are only as good as the player throwing them the ball. With Cam under center, maybe we're worrying too much about the wide receivers. If Drew Brees can turn a bunch of average/young receivers into pro-bowl receivers, why can't Cam? Sure we aren't stacked with WRs that can make a shitty QB look average like the Falcons are, but I think Cam can make our WRs work for him. I like the confidence, but Lafell's gonna have to back up his words sooner rather than later. I hope he's ready.

inb4 Cam =/= Brees

      Trade Chuba?

      Just like WR, you thin it out and then suffer an injury and you are scrambling.  Any RB could have run through some of those those holes though and maybe you don’t get the same xtra yards but you are getting yardage.  It is the pass catching they will miss the most.

      Without Sanders, they are stil catching balls. Sanders is about a giveaway to it will be a pass play.   Also, hoping we see the competition at RB keep both guys on their toes.

      I was talking about pre season hype vs now.  They were talking about him being the best route runner on the team and being unguardable.  Putting people in the blender.  He has had 1 catch the last two games, and before that it was 2 per game. I like Renfrow, but it seems him and Bryce are not on the same page.
