What did Graziano say? Haven't been paying attention

Keim is great, absolutely great. But I put Rich Campbell of the Washington Times right up there with him

Rich Tandler and Dave Elfin are solid but Keim and Campbell are probably the best

Agree on Rich Campbell.

Tweet 1: Redskins r only potential fit I see. RT @paul_m_cox1: @espn_nfceast do you see any of the nfc east teams making a move for brandon lloyd?

Tweet 2 (6 minutes later): Wow. For the record, no, I do not think the Redskins will pursue Brandon Lloyd. But of NFCE teams, that's the only one where he'd fit. OK?

Hopeless in the nuances English language like fair chunk of people, you failed to comprehend that being a "fit" for anything does not necessarily mean you are going to be pursued and obtained for use. There is no backpedaling, only your failure to comprehend the nuance. I'm sure a BMW or Mercedes would "fit" alot of people, but they sure as hell ain't gonna buy one barring lottery wins or the like.

Lloyd is a #1. However, New York has Cruz and Nicks, Philly has Maclin and Jackson, and Dallas has Austin and Bryant. There is no way Lloyd is going to crack those pairings. We have Moss and Gaffney. Gaff is a good possession receiver but can be bumped down. Moss is not the elite deep threat anymore. Lloyd would be the #1 here, so indeed, he is a fit here.

Doesn't the concept of "fit" take into account, I don't know, your history with the organization? How can you "fit" with an organization that got rid of you after being an abject failure and embarassment for several years? How many TD passes did he catch as a Redskin again?

As a Redskin Lloyd dominated the bench. He took the gatorade cooler to the house all the time.

There is no ****ing way the fan base would take to trading picks for this guy again. No way, no ****ing how. Imagine the back lash if you traded for the same guy twice and both times he flopped. Not just no, but..... HEEELLLL MOTHER ****ING NO.


It's not a good fit, and never will be. Some other team needs to make that gamble, we still have scars from being burnt with him before.

He was likely making his statement based mainly or solely on what Lloyd brings to the field currently. We certainly could use what Lloyd does bring to the table currently, that's why he'd "fit" here. Too bad he blew it when he had the chance and then he burnt his bridges with us.

The only thing Graziano is at fault for is hinting something he did not intend, which he rectified.
