ARE vs. Lloyd for the number 2 WR spot

unfortually neither is more than a number 3 wr. but i will take ARE over LLoyd any day. Guess we got what we paid for huh?

Loyd may be the wild card for the whole offense. If he steps up, we're dangerous. If not, the good defenses will be able to match up.

Like a lot of us, I think it was a terrible trade to get him & he seems to be more of a problem than he's worth, but I'm hoping he can at least be a deep ball specialist. I don't think he'll ever be a tough move the chains reciever, but he's comfortable going deep & going up for the ball.

I think he bulked up this off-season with the intent of being the "over the middle" guy

thrash made more clutch catches than Lloyd and ARE combined last year... everytime he gets a pass thrown his way, at least all most everytime, he catches the damn ball...

Umm, Thrash only caught a TOTAL of 12 balls for 151 yards last year.
Stop thinking he is anything special...he isn't.

And he will be...he'll get more opportunities to actually catch the ball this year.
We all want Lloyd's head on a platter, but fact is, Lloyd couldn't do shit last year cause the ball was rarely thrown in his direction.
Give him a chance, and he might show us something.

whether ARE or Lloyd are #2 or #3 respectively, it doesnt even matter because just about 90% of our games were started in a 3 wide receiver set. to me they'll both get just about the same amount of playing time.

I also think Lloyd will step up by the time the season starts

Yes, exactly my point. ARE may be in the #2 spot, but Lloyd will get just as many chances if not more.

Yeah because he is a better "reciever."

- but this has got to be a big letdown to Llyod and his supporters . . . .

:stop: I don't think Lloyd has a lot of supporters.

Brandon is more physically gifted than ARE and rightfully should be the #2 receiver, both on the depth chart and by the numbers. I think it's a problem when your #2 receiver is the tight end. I'm taking nothing away from Chris Cooley who is a better receiver then either BL or ARE. It's just that the top two receivers by catches, yards and TDs should be your wideouts.

For the team's sake, I hope Lloyd is successful this year, but I don't have my hopes up.
