Here is something to ponder - out of all the fantasy football players out there how many do you think have Brandon Llyod on their team? I would make a bet of the millions of players out there maybe about 10 people have him on their team and these 10 are either are related to the guy or are close friends with him.

Freddy just made the best point in the thread. Just because we gave him money doesen't mean he is going to preform for us. He caught one ball and had a 2nd effort and picked up more yards. If the coaches think he should play then he should play, if not then keep him on the bench. Don't fix it if it ain't broke and right now I believe our record is 3-1.
Problem is, RandleEl and Moss have both been "broke" over the past few weeks and we need to develop our other receivers. I'm not saying to make Lloyd the number one receiver, but I think they should try to throw at least five passes to the guy in a game situation to better see what we have.

The coaches have seen plenty - he's had over a year to show them, including over a dozen starts last year. That's what practice is for, players earn their jobs & lose them there.
As I noted earlier on this thread, throwing to a reciever can bring serious repercussions if the wr doesn't run the route correctly & doesn't go after the ball. All accounts of loyd indicate he can't be trusted. I remember seeing a pissed off look on Brunell's face last year after he threw to Loyd.
Remember the game last year when Loyd didn't go back for a long ball & Saunders thought he'd lost it in the lights? Loyd later said it was too far behind him to go after.
Remember JC's first pass as a pro & he hit Loyd right on the hands but he dropped it? Remember our 1st game against Miami & the pick in the end zone?

I gotta side with JLC on this one
"The reason why is because during the Miami Dolphins game, the guy intercepted the ball and I was loafing afterwards; it's true, yeah," he said.
WOW! He admitted to dogging it on that play! I guess that ends that debate once and for all.

I noticed almost immediately after Lloyd got his first reception, the crowd responded with a supportive cheer, and so did the sidelines.
One word, sarcasm

ditto, Loyd is sounding more & more like a scumbag. Just a flat out bad seed. His history of bad relationships w/coaches & players goes back to SF. Then he charms the media & says all the right things (well almost all).
Maybe somehow we'll get to see the 48 catch production (not that many catches, just the plays) he had in SF in 05, but I seriously doubt it. Gibbs & co. made a big mistake on this one.
