Second that!

And all the people that argued with me about Lafell early in the season all a sudden can't be find.

This dude goes Casper in too many games to be a number 2. Panthers fans have got their expectations so low that they think LaFell is a number 2? Come on fellas. Right now in a number two we are looking for a replacement for Smitty and someone that WE KNOW can get 1,000 yds receiving. Do we have that with LaFell? Absolutely not.

Lafell is already a good number 2. Too many of you think absurdly unrealistically like most teams run around with White/Jones or Fitz/Bolden-esq duos at receiver.

yeah. There's always room for improvement, but LaFell does well enough. He's option #3. You have to get Smith and Olsen looks first.

To me he disappears in games to much.He is making just shy of 3 receptions per game which is not enough for a possession receiver.Moose was my idea of a good number 2 wr with over twice the receptions of LaFell and averaging close to 800 yards per game.

Someone finally agree with me on this.

When the author states "the new guy will likely want to install his own systems and schemes", he assumes this is a detriment to the team and that staying the course with failed systems and schemes is better. Furthermore, it does NOT consider the poor clock management skills exhibited by RR. This is biased AND misleading reporting unworthy of serious consideration.

Yeah no one else has been saying this about Lafell ever.

You're the only one Chuck.

Well for whatever reasons, when I was calling him out early of the season no one backed me up. I didn't see you there making this argument with me did I. It was only me vs 20+ members.

And can y'all huddlers quit acting like y'all know me by calling me by my name. Gosh it sounds horrible. Call me by my user name.

Maybe him going Casper has something to do with the game plan. Even if you have two good recievers, doesn't mean they are going to have similar stats. We all know Olsen is good, but he went two or three games with low numbers. i am not saying that Lafell has not dissapointed at times(namely the KC drop), but seven hundred recieving yards is not an easy accomplishment. Especially when we are trying to force feed Smitty through out the game.

Made a few threads earlier about him and many of the replies saying he went ghost often.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
