Our reporters job is to write stories about the Panthers. When Joe Person went after Lafell's personal life I had Brandon's back. But when someone goes after your performance on the football field you need to suck it up. This is the big leagues.

What did person say again I remember that vaguely but not details

I'd be fine bringing LaFell back despite his obvious shortcomings.

 

Why? We have no one else. Run blocking is always needed. He could be a decent #3 or 4 should we find replacements. But. it's all contingent on him re-signing for a million at most. 

 

 

Honestly, I think Panther fans have come to regard WR blocking too highly because we aren't used to having anyone other than steve who can actually catch. Too much emphasis is placed on lafell being able to do his third or fourth responsibility as a receiver after catching, scoring touchdowns, and running routes. If he was actually a receiving threat, there would have been no discussion on whether to bring him back or not. 9 times out of 10 a run doesn't make it to the second level, and in those instances, yes it's nice to have a WR who can block. However It really isn't that important in the grand scheme of the position.

He was a good run blocking WR and at best a solid #3 or #4 receiver.  Nothing to break the bank for but if he'd come in on a cheap contract he'd be worth having around - pending they do some upgrading to the WR position otherwise.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
