Admittedly haven't seen him play a ton or anything, but that should generally mean some pretty decent things. Also has the ability to take it to the house (4 TDs of 40+ yards since 2012 compared to Jones' 1).
I am a bit worried about the Tom Brady effect though. Has there been any WRs who have produced like they did for the Patriots? I'm just picturing Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd...
Well it's not like those guys were scrubs elsewhere, and Deion Branch was solid when healthy with Seattle. Ben Watson too. I don't expect LaFell to dominate or anything, but I think 700+ yards and and a few big plays are probable if he's starting opposite Green. We do need to draft someone for the future though. It would also give us better depth/competition this year.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
