Could Gettis challenge Lafell?

[Seltzer]

Just glad we have depth at WR. And I dont see how Gettis doesnt make this team

[Matthias]

I always believed your starting receivers should be able to block.  So Lafell being a good blocker, if he's a good blocker, doesn't mean much to me concerning having that number two spot locked down.  Now I know not every team have two elite receivers on their squad.  Yet my thinking concerning a number 1 and 2 receiver is that they both have the ability to take over games.  That while your number one should be able to consistently put up big games, your number two should be able to put up big games on occasion throughout the season.  Lafell will never have a big game.  That's why his best position would be the number three spot.  To say Lafell earned the number two, is like saying Capt. Munnerlyn earned the number two cornerback spot.  If they have those spots, it's by default, not by skill.

lafell would have caught that deep ball from DA...Gettis slowed down a little right before the dive...basically hesitated, gotta watch the replay

[Mr. Scot]

At this point, I don't think Gettis is quite as complete a receiver as LaFell.  That may change, but that's how I see it now.

 

Gettis is, however, an ideal number three; the kind of guy that can just run downfield for a deep ball or to help clear out the underneath.

[Qu1million]

I think Gettis and LaFell should be on the outside and let Smitty work the slot.

I Agree, logical

[Razeyfingers]

AE and Ginn should be in the slot and Smitty LaFell Gettis and Hixon should work on the outsides.

[SIGCHI222]

Well, I won't even begin to try and join the argument going on but I will say this...he did have some "hand" rather than "body" catches tonight and I am very happy that he is making progress. 

Maybe he can be the anti-Jarrett.

[Razeyfingers]

Yep the next level is. . can Gettis make catches with contact. The next level above that is can he do it one handed. . . BOTH Smitty and LaFell are on that level

[SevyDamus]

I'm not gonna take shot a lafell since I like him, but if u go back Gettis was better than lafell with a shitty Qb

[CPcavedweller]

He should be considered yet. Gettis should be the third option and used to put Smith and Olsen in high percentage situations. Take the pressure off of Cam a bit.

I have been given time to cool off now though and after looking at Cams preseason stats from this and last year, I'm no longer concerned.

I don't know if he is setting a trend or not by not coming on until late in the season which is a problem. However, we force some turnovers and have good coaching, we will be okay. Cams not the offensive coordinator and is not as far along as some would like in his decision making, but that's where film study comes into play.

What is your reasoning for this? 

 

Gettis runs good routes. Good hands. Bigger. Faster

[TheRed]

Instead of having petty slap fights about who's better than who....

Why can't we just be happy we have a few good WR's not named Steve Smith?

We have a bunch of 3's trying to solidify themselves as 2's. 

 

Is that really something to get excited about?

Yeah I don't think you have to worry. Some of those read options plays Cam would have kept it if it were the regular season. Their weren't many read option plays but the few they ran were designed to give to the back regardless.
