You do realize Lafell was ruled down at the 1 yard line twice last season. Could have easily had 5 TDs instead of 3. This happened to Smith a lot as well. Lafell also had 1 more yard than Plaxico but with 9 less receptions. About the same amount of receptions as Driver, but with nearly 200 more yards.

I don't understand why you want to downplay Lafell's potential. To say he didn't make any clutch plays last season, I don't get it. Just because you want to be "real".

Ofcourse. Am I not being real? Im being as realistic as I can.

Lafell has some potential to be a Muhammad type of player.

Lafell doesnt have potential to be an elite wr.

All I'm saying is people need to chill down on acting like hes the next superstar in the making, and quit saying he's clutch.

Smitty, Calvin, Larry, and Cruz are clutch wrs. Lafell is not. Making 3-5 amazing ctaches in 16 games does not make you clutch.

If Smitty is out of the lineup, would you trust and have confidence Lafell is the no.1 guy and going to put up good numbers constantly? Exactly I already know your answer.

And to cry about Lafell having two catches ruled down at the one is the same as saying if the refs had call it right in the GB game, Lafell's td shouldve never been a td. I saw the replay over and over again and clearly it wasnt a td in my opinion. But who cares, Im glad we still got the td.

And to compare Lafell to Driver is even sadder. Especially when Driver was a 13 years vet last year, and he put up close the rec numbers, but even more tds than a two years player. Dont get me wrong, I'm not taking anything away from Driver that he cant still play but hes def not the same guy he used to be.

Lol you were the one posting Driver's stats to prove some kind of point, not me. Anyways, nobody ever said anything about Lafell being the number 1 guy. I never mentioned anything about that. This was about you downplaying Lafell's potential as the number 2 guy. You disregard those "3-5 amazing catches" and act as if he couldn't have more of those with more opportunities this year. People don't think he's clutch from just 3-5 plays though, they think he's clutch because he caught plenty of passes on 3rd and long, and even 4th and long. You also don't think he can put up better stats than last year.

Also, a player doesn't have to be a number 1 guy, or a superstar, to be clutch.

Are you aware that it took 3 years for Driver to become a starter? You don't know what Lafells potential is and you have no grasp of the reality of the players you are throwing out for comparison. Then you say Lafells potential is only Muhammed? I'll take that without a blink of an eye as Muhammed and Driver are basically identical production wise other than Moose had do do it with Delhomme, Weinke, Beuerlein, and a young Collins while Driver had Favre and Rodgers.

only at the huddle can a thread about a WR free agent who hasn't a chance in hell of ever coming here turns into a thread where our established number 2 coming off of a very good season is bloodied by hacks to the point where other hacks feel the need to defend the good season.

lmao at the result of this thread

Lol @ saying LaFell compares to Moose and then in the same breath saying he can't be a #1 guy.

Quick blurb on Moose from his website:

Tied for 4th in NFL with 20 receiving TDs from 2004-05 (M. Harrison, 27; A. Gates, 23; R. Moss, 21)… Has converted a first down on 134 of 162 career third-down receptions (82.7%), including 46 consecutive to end the 2005 season… Chicago's most veteran receiver led the team with 64 catches for 750 yards and 4 TDs in his first season with the Bears, the team's highest total in each category in the last 3 seasons… Signed with Chicago after writing Carolina's record book for receiving during his 9 years with the team… Paced the NFL with 1,405 receiving yards and 16 receiving TDs in 2004, setting several franchise milestones while compiling those totals due to his 93 receptions… Left Panthers as the all-time franchise leader in receptions (578), receiving yards (7,751), TDs (44-tie), scoring among non-kickers (268 points), 1,000-yard receiving seasons (3), 100-yard receiving games (26), 100-yard games in a season (7), receptions in a season (102), receptions in a game (11), receiving yards in a season (1,405), receiving yards in a game (192), TDs in a season (16), TDs in a game (3-tie) and games started (113)… Paced Carolina in receptions in 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2004 while leading the team in receiving yards in 1999, 2000 and 2004… Became first WR in Panthers history to reach career totals of 100 starts, 500 receptions and 7,500 receiving yards.

If LaFell does any of this I will poo a happy brick.

There is nothing wrong with wanting the Panthers to sign Plaxico Burress based on his ability and talent, but thinking they actually will/would is/was stupid (to put it nicely).

There is no doubt that Burress can still play.

Burress had 45 receptions for 612 yards and eight touchdowns with a quarterback that was ranked 23rd in quarterback rating and 28th in completion percentage.

Burress was Sanchez's third favorite target behind tight end Dustin Keller and wide receiver Santonio Holmes, yet Burress still tied for first on the Jets roster in touchdown receptions with eight (tied with Holmes). Burress also recorded a team best 13.6 yards per reception (out of those who qualify).

The Panthers lost a big red zone threat in Jeremy Shockey and Plax would have easily been a great replacement.

However, what fits together great on paper may not fit great together on the field (not to mention the baggage that Burress has).

Richardson, Hurney, and Rivera want a straight edge team and clearly Plax doesn't fit into that mold.

Well we wouldn't carry seven wide outs to begin with, especially if they would have signed Plax. There would only be hope for Lamont Bryant because he may be converted into a tight end and could probably beat out Hartsock for the third tight end spot as long as he showed at least some ability to pass/run block because everyone already has better hands than Hartsock.
