B. Lloyd Overrated?

They are retarded. He was by far the best thing they had on offense. He had more than double the yardage receiving than any other player on his team. I looked this up months ago but there were only 4 players who did that last year and 3 of them had been in the pro bowl during the last 2 years, all except Lloyd. He did an amazing job with the opportunity he was given. I don't know what more he could do with the cast he had around him.

bryant has had better production than lloyd to this point. but the seperation between them isn't that great.

First step to the playoffs is winning the division. With that in mind it was an extremely intelligent move on behalf of the Redskins to pursue B.Lloyd.

In 2005, Lloyd tore up Dallas for 142 yards in week 3 against none other than Anthony Henry.

This had to be on the minds of the Redskins personnel staff when the went looking for Lloyd, and was probably a contributing factor.

I love how the article states that Bryant wasn't the best WR on the market. Not with Jurevicious and Randle El available. I think they are saying Randle El is potentially a better #1 WR, which must mean that the Redskins have two #1 receivers. YAY!
Of course, that's the author's opinion. I think Randle El is at best a #2 but still the article actually makes us look good.

Some haters in SF think Lloyd is overrated:

Already, he is a big step ahead of Brandon Lloyd, whom the 49ers traded to Washington. Lloyd's new employers will soon discover that they have a No. 3 receiver who thinks he is a No. 1, who delivers one sensational play every game or so and does very little else.

They are obviously unfamiliar with Taylor Jacobs and Jimmy Farris.

yeah... one amazing play per game is only about 9 more than we got out of our #2/#3/#4/#5 combined over the entire span of the last 9 games.

It continues to amaze me that every time we sign a player someone, somewhere always has something negative to say about them. "Overated" we haven't even had a chance to rate him yet, how can he be overated? I chose not to dwell on the negatives, and as far as him being a #1 #2, or #3 receiver dosen't matter, all I want him to do is catch the ball when it't thrown to him, make plays when they're there and be a productive receiver. His numbers will dictate whether he's one, two or three.

how pathetic it is to be an SF fan right now. To spend the off season trying to convince yourself that antonio bryant is the answer.


If you can convince yourself that Mike Nolan is the answer, I guess anything is possible!

LLoyd has abilty and we have the perfect coach in Saunders to extract that ability, the fact that LLoyd was able to do anything in that pathetic 9ers offense is remarkable 1 catch a game is a monster when you consider who the QB and the coach are.

I can't believe the Redskins were duped into thinking they had gotten a #1 receiver by trading for Lloyd. It's nice to have top notch investigative reporting clue us fools in to these diabolical scams such as this. I guess we can always settle with the memory of 52 point blowout against the 49ers.
