Baby Hawk chose his desitiny when he decided to go to a 4th ranked AFC North team, money talks.
I agree that he didn't show up when needed him the most, and that he is a shorter, slower version of what we have now in Alford.

Sorry about the hi-jack, but...
Lafell?
Did I miss something? Why are so many so high on this guy?
Patroits don't seem too upset losing him, in fact, some Pats fans actually laugh about us picking him up.
So, Tate 2.0?

I think Boldon would be a great option, but God only knows if he could play at that elite calliber for us as a 2,3,4th option...?

How do you define high? 

Seriously though, I haven't seen any crazy predictions for LaFell. I'm higher on the guy than most and I've said that 700 yards and 4-5 scores seems about right if he's starting. Dalton has gotten that type of production out of guys like Simpson, Hawkins and Sanu before, so why not LaFell, who has produced similar numbers in the past?

I keep seeing LaFell/Tate comparisons. Outside of wearing #19 for the Pats and being named Brandon, what are the similarities? LaFell's worst season is better than Tate's best, when he had 432 yards as a starter with the Pats.

LaFell's best season was 950+ yards, 7 TDs and 2 more key scores in a SB run. Over the last 4 years, he's had as much yardage as MLJ and Sanu combined. I'm not saying LaFell > MLJ, but it has to count for something.

I have the opposite question that you do. Why are so many so low on this guy? The Pats have let go of plenty of players that went on to produce elsewhere. The Pats - like any team - have their reasons for making moves, but just because they cut somebody doesn't mean they're garbage.
