Brandon LaFail? Really?

Already? Surely, it’s too early to be making such bold nicknames, but it’s not the first time I’ve heard this one being used. While I am willing to give Brandon LaFell due time to develop into what most of us hope will be a starting-caliber receiver opposite the “dull, untalented, second-rate and other” Steve Smith, I will incredulously entertain the 50/50 possibility that the Panthers may have drafted a third dud as a successor to Muhsin Muhammad.

We’ve been tracking Keary Colbert over the last couple of days. We can stop. He has landed with the Denver Broncos.

What’s interesting is the amount of money that the team threw at him: 3 years for $7.2 million with a $2.5 million signing bonus.
