Re: Are We Being Too Hard on Brandon Lloyd?
See ARE was never really a bust. We just over-paid him. He was a difference maker for us last year...its not like came in and sucked. He did everything he was brought in to do, maybe even a little bit more....the problem is, we payed him boat loads of money to be a kick returner, gaget guy and #3 reciever, so I dont think its really fair to call him a bust.

After JC throws it, you cant see the Lloyd or the DB very well on the vid clip, but you can see the color blur of the of the two of them. The DB was ahead of Lloyd almost 2 full strides. JC threw it up and the DB had to slow down to get under it. Lloyd was able to catch up, but you can see he had to make a jump for it early to get under it in time to catch or have it get intercepted. The real knock on Lloyd, other than the jog after the interception that I see, is that the ball went THROUGH his hands to the DB behind him. As we all know if the ball hits the receivers in the hands, they have to catch it. Thats why they are in the NFL. This has added some credibility back to Lloyd, but not much. The abysmal preformance and the temper tantrum last year puts him on a very short leash in my eyes. |

Re: Are We Being Too Hard on Brandon Lloyd?
I found this qoute from Llyod amusing....
"Any move that's made is for the betterment of the team," Lloyd said of Caldwell's arrival. As to his productivity, Lloyd said: "I can only put up production with the opportunities given to me, that's it." When asked if he had a desire to ask that more passes be thrown his way, Lloyd said no. He also said he required no clarification as to how the signing may affect his role. "I'm an established guy, too," he said. Just because a team gives you a $10 million dollar signiong bonus does not mean you are an established player - a player needs to earn the respect of coaches and teammates through hard work, determination, desire and production - which in Llyod's case he has not done much of with the Redskins or 49ers. The only thing Llyod has established is he is an expensive bust, one that if not for cap complications he would have already been cut from the team. washingtonpost.com |

None of those things are true of Lloyd, and when you factor in the money he's being paid, that's completely unacceptable. |
