Kkl slots are supposed to be sure handed....that's why i always thought Lafell was a possession guy. Also PFF says that Lafell ran more of his snaps from the slot. It's nothing wrong with being a slot imo, it's just that the Panthers need a deep threat.

I don't have a problem where you line him up and I can see you bringing in somebody to take over for Smith as the Number #1 wr. I'm not crazy I don't think Lafell could ever be a Number #1. But to act like he can't be and isn't a good number #2 is stupid.

Then you have a idoit like Chuck calling him a "body Catcher"

Does this look like a "body catcher"

Yeah there's really no merit to the no-speed thing. Most of the best receivers in the league are 4.4 guys while the undersized 4.2 guys people here seem to think we should be targeting (GOTZ TO FIND SMITTY 2.0!!!!) bust pretty much every single time.

Lafell is a career number 3 barring some unforeseen explosion. Maybe ten years ago he would've been a serviceable number two but it's not the same game no matter who wanta to try and resist that.

Being a number 3 isn't an insult in today's league, but you have to have a couple of guys that can beat double teams and make big plays consistently without one of the most dynamic players of all time sucking away all the attention on the other side.

The best WR ever was a 4.6 40' guy.

That's your opinion.

With more targets and oppourtunities he can be a great number #2. That's my opinion.

As long as we grab a WR with one of our first two picks, I'm easy.

I'm with the crowd that for some reason feels we're gonna end up taking Allen.

I'd like us to look at Nuke and Terrance Williams long and hard though. I think they are two that will excel in the league.

Overall, I sense many people are looking for mad explosiveness after being used to Smitty for so long, and ideally want to pair that with height. That type is few and far between.

^ People love to ignore Jerry "The Greatest WR" Rice 40 time. LOL

Yeah people lose that Fact when they have SPEED SPEED SPEED on the brain.

They also don't notice that most of the Hall Fame WR weren't speed demons.

Chris Carter

Art Monk

Steve Largent

Marvin Harrison

Weren't all that fast.

I never said he wasn't good. and he's come a long way from with his catching ability.

But he's not shown anything to prove he can be a solid #2.

And again I ask is that the Scheme or the player?

Again take the time and look around at all the read Option and Pistol offensive teams. Then tell me All the Jaw dropping numbers you saw from their WR corp.

89 only had 4TD this year. We all know he is a better player then that.

Larry Fitzgerald and Brandon Marshall and Stevie Johnson aren't burners either, still all good WRs.

Of course WRs weren't as fast back then. Were RBs built like LBs back then too? It's the evolution of the game. Players are going to get bigger and faster every year.

Some of the best WR in the league today aren't that fast.

Fitz is a 4.6 guy.

Boldin is a 4.7 guy.

Marshall is a 4.6 guy

Colston is a 4.7 guy.

      Tepper Era Strikes Again!

      By BlazeCarolina · Posted

      Ok.  I see that signs may not obstruct others view.  That seems to be a pretty large sign, and since they are in the front, if they were to hold it up, I feel it would obstruct others view. I don't see the point in holding the sign in their laps. If I were in securities shoes, I would just tell them to put it up, so that I don't have to keep a constant eye on them because not everyone listens and will just wait until I turn my back to raise the sign again.  I see no point in holding a sign on your lap where it can not be seen unless you are just waiting to break the rules again. The amount of time they have "gotten away" with this is still irrelevant.  For all we know, someone complained they could not see because of the sign.

      Chances against the Cowboys

      By Star Power · Posted

      Cows fan with just some info.      Some good points from y'all but some that are poorly thought out too.   Dallas played the last game (Jets, 0-4) with 4 OL starters out, Cee Dee Lamb out, #3 WR Kavontae Turpin out (he's also the League's #1 returner), #2 RB Miles Sanders out (avg 5.8 ypc).  Dak is playing very well as is Javonte Williams and George Pickens.   Cows have a lot of offensive depth and talent and are/were the #1 offense in the League.  416 yards last week and close to another 40 burger.  They suck on D ! DC Matt Eberflus plays a very soft over the top zone.  Russell Wilson (NYGiants) shredded the Cow's D for 450 passing yards  (I think there were 7 plays of 30+ yards).  In the 2nd half of the Fudge Packers game Dallas D never got a stop thus there was a tie (40-40).  With only a D ranked around the middle of the NFL pack Dallas could probably be 4-1.   Their D sux badly.   They did get a few sacks (5) against Justin Fields last Sunday in NJ otherwise they gave up 380 yards against the Jets.   We are very familiar with Rico Dowdle.

      Nothing you or I or anyone does with regards to enjoying or moaning about wins and losses has any affect on the success or failure or shittyness factor of the franchise.
