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.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
