I am curious what people think… who is better? If I remember correctly, Kincaid was the top rated tight end coming into the draft. I wonder if Laporta is better suited to be a tight end in the NFL.. Expand Wait….you can go back and think you could have picked different in the draft? When did this start? Quote

Expand I love Kincaid but worry about his relatively slender frame. Seems like he’s just not built to give and take the punishment necessary to play tight end in the NFL. Laporta seems like more of a prototypical TE… Quote

If you honestly think LaPorta looks just as good in our offense as he does in Detroit, I hate to break it to you, it would make no difference. Kincaid would be the better TE if he was in Detroit Expand Phrasing your original post a little differently may have been better. Quote

Beane wanted a WR but then had to scramble for Kincaid. It may be that the type of pass-catching TE that Kincaid can become will take longer to develop. Expand I’m still glad that we took Dalton But I really hope that our first round pick this next year is a wide receiver On 12/24/2023 at 8:56 PM, mannc said: That’s interesting…Kincaid looks a lot smaller. Expand Those guys are very seldom at their final statistic. Whenever it comes to this I look for Dalton after a full off-season program to be bigger. Quote

NewEra Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 One is a tight end that is coached and schemed as if he’s an all pro One is a tight end that is coached and schemed like he’s a backup fullback. Quote
julian Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 Last years TE class will go down as one of the best all time IMO. Kincaid will be a star. Quote

Kincaid was and is breasts on a bull when Knox is healthy. That makes LaPorta the better choice for the Lions, but LaPorta would have been a bad choice for the Bills too. Expand YESSSS please Quote

Expand LaPorta is a monster. He's already an elite top-end TE. Kincaid has shown flashes of being a good player, but they aren't close to the same right now.

Take LaPorta out of the Lions offense and put him in the Bills offense and take Kincaid and put him in the Lions offense, production is flipped. There, now go back to not making stupid posts. It's not Kincaid, it's how they are used Expand I’m not sure what Toledo Bill did in your Wheaties, so I’ll set that aside. To your analysis … isn’t “who you are” the biggest indicator of “how you’re used”? I’m not sure Toledo’s post was the stupid one. Quote

They allow him to run seam routes and actually use him the way he should be. How did Kincaid look when he was the main man when Knox was out? He looked exactly like he was on LaPorta's level. Now Knox is back and Kincaid is basically taking a back seat again. LaPorta is not necessarily better Expand Exactly opportunity LaPorta competing against who for falls? St. Brown? Quote
