Obviously short swing passes and screens are higher percentage catches, which is why most of the top guys in the %target/catch stats are RB's. And certainly Santana had some amazing yards after catch numbers this year. But he caught plenty of deep passes, too, or maybe you forgot a certain game at Texas Stadium?
And quite honestly, there's no reason Lloyd couldn't have been doing the same thing, if he was capable. But since he didn't....

If that were true, the Niners would not be parting with Lloyd because he'd be locked up in a humongous contract. They certainly have the cap room.
You can choose to analyze players subjectively or objectively. There's a reason we keep track of stats in games like football, because at the end of the day, you can measure them and say who the champs are and who the chumps are.

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day. A sixth year all-pro, who's averaged 1200 yards and 8 TD's a season the past 3 years, at the prime of his career, would be demoted to WR2 so Brandon Lloyd could be the "primary receiver"?
Drink up, buddy. There's still plenty of time to be plastered before lunch.
