Schneed10 11-05-2007, 10:27 PM Yes, he does deserve the hate.
He doesn't go over the middle. He doesn't practice hard. He misses meetings. He doesn't put in the time to learn how to run routes well.
See a trend? The guy doesn't care.
PFunk26 11-05-2007, 10:30 PM One thing I found interesting is they did call a play for him in the pats game, threw him a wr screen, kinda thought he might get more of a chance after that then this whole incident, I think this was the last straw
SmootSmack 11-05-2007, 10:32 PM More importantly, does he deserve so many threads dedicated just to him?
CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR 11-05-2007, 10:35 PM what has he done to deserve any love????
Bill B 11-05-2007, 10:47 PM He deserves a break, he hasn't had a chance to do anything yet. Give him time to cool off, a chance to prove himself, and viola, back to an ok receiver.
So you are saying you'd pay an ok reciever a $10 million dollar bonus? That is not a good cap move if you ask me.
GMScud 11-05-2007, 11:23 PM More importantly, does he deserve so many threads dedicated just to him?
Ahhhh, and now we get to the meat of the thing. He doesn't even deserve the amount of thought we are giving him.
djnemo65 11-05-2007, 11:52 PM How bad does someone have to suck before we can all agree he sucks?

This reminds me of an old conundrum: How much wood could a wood chuck chuck, if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
Answer: More than Brandon Lloyd, because the wood chuck, like James Thrash, is a super-smart blue collar guy who fights his guts out--no one ever gave that wood chuck anything. He earned it. The lord blessed us with a pretty great wood chuck, IMO.
offiss 11-06-2007, 01:06 AM It's all Lloyds fault, we know Moss can play and what's happened to him this year? I just can't judge a WR in this offense with Campbell throwing to him, our offense is a joke to blame a reciever just isn't fair. Patten had some pretty nice numbers before he arrived from the Pats and did nothing, sorry to get on Lloyd is unfair, I doubt he would be questioned right now if he had Manning or Brady throwing him the ball.
And if he is that bad, well then blame Gibbs, he's the one who just had to have him.
Daseal 11-06-2007, 01:13 AM I disagree completely with people who thinks Lloyd deserves the hate skins fans give him. I've been hoping and hoping we'd give Brandon Lloyd a real chance to show us something. So far we've seen him get a deep ball once every three games. Yes, his hands aren't glue, but on this team no ones are. Even James Trash let one hit him right in the numbers last week. Santana Moss has been dreadful, and ARE started hot but seems to have cooled.
Lloyd made a really nice move in the pats game to get about 10 yards, then we didn't try to get him the ball again. Has Lloyd made some mistakes? Of course. Does he deserve a chance to be on the field and try to show us something? I think so.
He was late to a meeting, that's probably the worst thing he's done since he came to DC. I'd love to know within a two year stretch, how many of you haven't been late to some sort of an event, even a work event. Sometimes the cards don't fall in your favor and things go wrong. Even athletes can mis-set an alarm clock or get stuck in traffic. It said he came late, didn't skip it. These things happen, and you should be punished for it, but acting like this is enough to ship him out -- please.
To whoever above said it's not the WRs job to block. Ask the Steelers if WRs block. Ask Portis if he'd like to have a nice block downfield by a WR. Blocking is a huge part of the WRs game. Figure a particular WR is targeted on maybe 10-20% of the offensive plays, the rest of the time his job is to keep his man(men) busy and that includes blocking. That's like saying we lose nothing in the game when Portis comes out for Betts in passing situations, it's not a RBs job to block. Idiotic. It takes all 11 players to make a team tick.
I just find it ironic that Brandon Lloyd was a huge character guy in DC when he first got here, all about winning, worked hard, etc, etc. Then he wears a hat that said FUCK to a meeting, then it's all downhill. He all of a sudden never tries, never works. We knew we were getting a WR that doesn't have the best hands in the world with Lloyd. He can make big catches for you if you give him a chance, with very solid YAC. Yet people complain he doesn't go over the middle. He's on a receiving core with Santana Moss and Antwan Randel-El and we're upset that Lloyd doesn't go over the middle?
I just think this guy needs a chance on the field and some looks. If he doesn't pan out, so be it, I'll join the rest of you. I just feel up until this point, he has an incomplete, not an F.
