Does Lafell's highs make up for his lows?


Donald LaFell

Recommended Posts

He made some huge plays today and I'm sure he's well regarded by his team members. 

 

His draft profile still fits his career perfectly. 

 

Catches balls he shouldn't, drops balls he shouldn't.

Surprising shiftiness in open field.

Great blocker. 

 

He's a FA after this season, and personally I think we can afford to pass on him. I feel like we can find anybody to drop easy passes and we shouldn't hang on to guys who do. 

 

If he wants to come back at a deal that reflects his inconsistency and compete that's fine, he's a good panther. I trust Gettleman won't give him a Hurney deal,

"Lapses in concentration"

Under his weaknesses in his draft profile.

I think that describes him perfectly. Has some "wtf" moments. Good blocker though and like today when his number was called he made some big plays.

He shouldn't still have the concentration problem, and if he was going to fix that he would have by now. I like LaFell and have made it known, just waiting for him to step up in a big game. Next weekend he'll get another chance I suppose.

No,  he had a solid game today but he'd still be 4-5th wr on most playoff contenders.  The drops the failing to get open.

 

Cam's rook season, he was 6th on the team in reception.  No Way a #2 should Ever have numbers like that.

    • I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...
    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
