Which Player Do You Not Want Back Next Season

Lafell not horrible, but he will have to take what he is worth not what he thinks he is worth....Bell a good backup.....if he takes near vet min wouldn't be bad to keep him around.  He has his moments but they are far and few between.....I'm sure Hixon will be gone...blackburn might be gone...not that I particular want either one gone....I like the core.....so I'm going to say keep everyone but just don't overpay Hardy...love the Kracken...but we can not break the bank and look past the needs we have at this point...we're on the break of being a great team and need the cash for multiple players not just one especially when we have to pay Cam either in the offseason or next year with a big contract then we have Luke soon too.....KEEP POUNDING!

His pick on the deep Fitzgerald ball was fantastic S play

Yep, and anyone who follows college and the draft knew Lester's knocks. And that was that he takes bad angles to the ball. Be against the run or pass.

He took a horrible angle on the would be TD run vs NY week 3. But was brought back on a penalty.

However, overall I think he made strides this year. I wouldn't give up on him just yet.

From Charlotte Observer

 

"The website Pro Football Focus charts all catchable balls thrown to receivers and then how many those receivers drop to establish a "drop rate percentage." LaFell caught 49 and dropped eight passes out of 57 catchable throws this season, according to PFF, which gives him a drop rate of 14 percent.

That ranks LaFell 84th out of the top 94 NFL targeted receivers in drops (in other words, 83 receivers had a lower drop rate than LaFell this season). Steve Smith's drop rate is 7.25 percent (34th) and Ted Ginn's is 7.69 percent (38th)."

Brandon Lafail. If I didn't want him gone before, I really wanted him gone after that interview. Talks about how hard it was with Smitty out and he can't deal with the extra pressure and attention. He just has a overall defeatist attitude. I don't want losers like that on my team. I don't want him back regardless of price, see ya Donald....

I watched that interview to. Didn't want to accept the challenge of being the #1 receiver while Smith was out. Excited to go back to his regular position and Smith taking some of the coverages away from him.  Spoken like a true scrub.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
