Does Lafell's highs make up for his lows?

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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
