Naanee or LaFell?

(credit the Saltman for giving me the idea in the "Game Notes thread)

So who should be the starter at the number two receiver spot?

Legedu Naanee is more experienced and looked decent in San Diego, but has failed to develop much chemistry with Cam Newton so far. He's a big target, but watching him jump for a high pass this past Sunday was like watching a kid fall into a swimming pool.

Brandon LaFell has looked better of late, but inconsistency in the preseason seemed to earn him a spot in Rivera's doghouse. He's one of those guys who can make spectacular catches yet drop easy ones.

So if the choice is yours, who do you have starting opposite Steve Smith, and why?

LaFell all the way.

First off... Preseason = Preseason. What happened there has no bearing on what we should look at now as far as QB/WR chemistry.

LaFell has made some big time catches in these past two games, while Naanee hasn't done anything.

And again... just wait until next year when Gettis is back. With Smith, LaFell and Gettis, and now a QB who can deliver the ball... we'll have a receiver corp that gives secondary's nightmares.

LaFell, Naanee has been given more chances this year and still hasn't taken advantage.

LaFell is a better blocker on the outside, and seems to have improved his drops for the time being. Smith can stretch the field with LaFell taking whats available underneath, hes a big strong physical receiver, and can go over the middle.

      High look overview...

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
