Not that I'm knocking the signing, I think LaFell is a very good fit for us from what I've read (I honestly haven't seen him play enough to be one way or the other).
True, but LaFell only played 1.5 seasons in NE. Carolina generally threw less than us, so it evens out.
Also, we're talking one player vs two.
Either way, my point isn't really to say that LaFell > MLJ and Sanu combined. It's more to say that LaFell is better than some think and maybe MLJ and Sanu weren't quite as good/productive as some think.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
