Agree/disagree: LaFell is better than Cotchery, Underwood, and Avant

[AceBoogie]

Avant converted 81 of 94 3rd downs in his career. Can you say the same for LaFell?

Lafell managed to score more touchdowns in half the years played.

[Billy Love]

jason avant dropped ZERO catchable balls last year. ZERO!!!!!!!!!!

Lafell managed to score more touchdowns in half the years played.

That is why we have Cotchery

who is talking about how good lafell is? certainly not everybody, hardly anybody maybe.

Obviously they think he's good enough that it's worth overanalyzing how good he is to comparably productive C-list wide receivers, but then again this forum has to just overanalyze the fug out of everything into oblivion so this thread will somehow make it to 300 replies even though it's worth less than a tenth of that

The minute LaFell has a Tom Brady fastball bounce right off his chest I want to see everybody keep talking about how good he is

It'll be fun seeing Tommy Tom lose his mind every time LaFell drops a pass.

[Pox 08]

Brady will rip LaFell a new one if he drops what should be a key ball.

I think Cotchery is the best of the group, after that you can make an argument for any of them. Avant is more sure-handed, though not as fast and not a red zone target.

LaFell and Underwood is a difficult comparison due to their styles of play. Objectively LaFell has been better thus far, though I prefer Underwood's skill set and he's actually a bit younger.

Really I think our WR corps has improved sans Smith.

Cotchery > LaFell (though LaFell is younger with more room to grow)

Underwood < Ginn (mainly due to return ability, though Underwood arguably looks like the better receiver)

Avant > Hixon (pretty self explanatory)

I agree even though Lafell is less reliable

[Captain Obvious]

I'll take i don't give a fug for 1000000 Alex.

While this topic may draw interest, you couldnt possibly have your actual answer until the season gets going.

Why is Brandon lafells name still mentioned around here? He is gone. Once you take the trash out you don't bring it back in the house!!

Lafell's hands are actually not that bad.  He made some tough catches.  But he was just so inconsistent.  He would have a couple of really good games followed by a couple that you had to rewatch the tape to see if he played at all.  Make a great catch followed by dropping one right in his hands.  His routes were inconsistent as well.  He would run a great route followed by one that was so bad it would cause an interception.  His blocking was the only thing he could really hang his hat on and say was good most of the time.

 

That, I think, will be the difference with the new guys.  More consistency.  I don't know that they will be much better than Lafell.  But I bet they will be more consistent.  Then again they won't have Steve on the other side of them for the defense to roll all the coverage to so....  Better or not, tough to say.  More consistent - yes.

Lafell sucks plain and simple, i was hoping everything changed after he had a good TC and it being a contract year but nope he sucks get it through your head people. Every-time he was targeted by Cam the ball would go off his hands for a INT, mix that with the wide open drop passes and you got yourself a surefire dud...............but for a bonus i'll throw in the fact that he also would half ass routes that cause INT as well.

 

 

crowning the guys we sign this year just because what they did last year is a mistake also, besides lafell it's yet to be determine whether this group can live up to our receiving core last year.
