Brandon LaFell

Lafell looked great today but he's still slow as hell! They have found some routes he runs well and it work but you don't see him running down the sideline past people.

Loved seeing Lafell step it up and give Smitty a break. This is only going to help Smitty get open for more big plays!

Good job Lafell!

[Pimpdaddy]

solid game from Lafell....

[Match.com]

lefell did open up the 60+ pass for smith later on....

if murphy or pirales come on later smith might be preserved and later move in the slot.

[carolina-chuck]

making this statement in the 1st place is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. You should have never made the statement in the first place

Your statement just now is the stupidest thing I have heard

Good game from B-Lafell. My 2 breakout players list (Hardy, Lafell) looking real good now.

Jody Breeeeezzzzeeee,

Everyone give him Twitter love.

[King Taharqa]

Good game Lafell.

[Cold Cat]

It was great to see his number called I don't care who was coving him. A game like this is what he needs. Raise the confidence in a player and we'll see some good thigs from him.

Smitty would have been a TD if he was 25. He's still a gamer but it's nice to see LaFell emerging. Both of those MFers can BLOCK

From Wikipedia:

American football, known in the United States simply as football, is a sport played between two teams of eleven with the objective of scoring points by advancing the ball into the opposing team's end zone by running with it or throwing it to a teammate. Points can be scored by carrying the ball over the opponent's goal line, catching a pass thrown over that goal line, kicking the ball through the opponent's goal posts or tackling an opposing ball carrier in his own end zone.

In the United States, the major forms are high school football, college football and professional football. Each of these are played under slightly different rules.^[1] High school football is governed by the National Federation of State High School Associations and college football by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The highest level league for professional football is the National Football League.

American football is closely related to Canadian football but with some differences in rules and the field.^[2] Both sports can be traced to early versions of association football and rugby football.

I'll just leave this here since you don't seem to have a very good grasp of how football works...

WR =/= Speed

WR = Speed+Size+Hands+Route Running+Blocking+Heart

LaFell may not have great speed (+0), but he has very good size (+1), hands(+1) and blocking(+1). His route running is also pretty good and still improving(+.5). Heart is, to a degree, an unknown. He has never been asked to carry a team on his back, but he has consistently come up clutch on big 3rd downs(+0).

Right now #11 pulls a 3.5/6 with room to improve...

Smitty is well on his way to a golden jacket with a 5/6.

Why some insist on dismissing LaFell simply because he doesn't run a 4.4 is beyond me.
