Ok we get it. Brandon Lafell is a good number 2 WR in the NFL and the signing was a solid signing. But lets not act like it made us any better at all. And lets definitely not act like he balled TF out when Green got injured. SOMEONE was gonna HAVE to catch passes when Eifert and AJ were out. He was the guy Dalton was looking at. He stepped up and became a reliable target but lets not act like he showed flashes of greatness. Because he didn't.

The Lafell train is a good train up until the solid receiver stop. Soon as you ride the train too long and start saying "One of the best #2" or "Capable of holding down the #2 spot for a playoff team" then I gotta get TF off

You dont want to look up stats because you know youre wrong. 

Aquan Boldin's stats during the Raven's 2012 Super Bowl season: 
65 receptions
921 yards
4 TDs


Brandon Lafells stats from last year: 
64 receptions 
865 yards
6 TDs


In 2014 with the Pats Lafell had 950 yards receiving and 7 TDs. So, the AJ Greene injury theory doesn't make sense here either. He is more than capable of being a number 2 wide out. 

Not sure why so many of you refuse to look at numbers. You keep judging him based on what you want though....whatever that may be.
