Brandon Lloyd NFL Receiving Yards Leader

Just say that a few times. That has to be one of the most amazing, unbelievable stats I've seen in a long time. Who would have thunk it? Brandon Lloyd? Our Brandon Lloyd, who couldn't get on the field? I heard it the other day, and I knew he had a good year, but the most receiving yards in the NFL?

Kudos to him for getting his sh** staight. I guess...

Guy is a bum. I'm not giving that clown kudos for doing anything other than stealing Dan Snyder's money. He's a underachiever and probably will be for the majority of his career/life. It's a shame when people with incredible talent blow it because they can't work hard or put any time/dedication into their craft. (see Devin Thomas) Hooray he had ONE good year. Like Haynesworth, it must be a contract year.

Who Cares? Nice season for a team that threw a shit load and were always down.. I was so excited when we signed that guy and he gave us nothing..

That's why it's so unbelievable. The guy did NOTHING here at all except for steal money. But hey, someone gave it to him, when we didn't have to. We ripped up his existing contract and paid him bigtime.

Re: Brandon Lloyd NFL Receiving Yards Leader

He always had the talent so it's not surprising from that point of view. He just needed to get his head in the game and he finally did. Good for him.

I love his thoughts about former teams that "gave up" on him. I think it was something on the lines of **** them. lol.

Re: Brandon Lloyd NFL Receiving Yards Leader

Good for him. He got his act together. Too bad he didn't get it together while he was here and that this team couldn't motivate him. If memory serves me correct though, this team should've known his character issues.

Re: Brandon Lloyd NFL Receiving Yards Leader

He was pretty much down to his last chance and it looks like he realized that if he did not apply himself he would be out on the streets. I can't knock a guy for getting his act together but i will hold judgment for next year.

Re: Brandon Lloyd NFL Receiving Yards Leader

He's not the first Redskin to stink it up here just to leave and light it up for another team. IMO, I think it has more to do with the Skins organization than the players. In most cases, we just don't seem to be able to bring out the best in guys that have obvious potential.

Re: Brandon Lloyd NFL Receiving Yards Leader

Lloyd is on his 2nd team since leaving here, and his 8th season overall. I think in this case we can say his problems were his fault, and not the Redskins.

We will most likely add two more to that list if we dump AH and McNabb.
