He was opposite Steve Smith for 3 years with a competent QB. In those 3 years, he averaged 639 yards and 4 TDs. Not far off from Marvin Jones' numbers.
Keep in mind that the Panthers were a less productive passing offense that averaged 494 attempts in those 3 seasons.
During the Dalton era, the Bengals have averaged 534 pass attempts.
700+ yards and 4-5 scores seems very reasonable for a guy like LaFell, in this offense playing opposite AJ Green.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
