I like the signing. Lets look at the perception of his arms of stone thing.
Cam Newton is not the NFL greatest passer.
LaFell had a 9% drop rate that is he dropped 6 out of 55 catchable balls.
The two receivers ahead of him with the panthers.
Steve Smith- 5.5% he dropped 6 out of 70 catchables.
Greg Olson- 3.6% he dropped 4 out of 77 catchables.
LaFel did most of his work in the slot 63% this is where all but one of his drops came. It is also as we all know one of the harder places for any WR. You do get hit more.
Lets look at the rate of another top slot WR. Welker 9% drop rate he dropped 10 out of 83 catchable balls last season.
With Brady throwing the ball I tend to believe LaFell's drop rate will fall.
