I actually side with the FO on this one, we needed the WR depth and the guy who will probably be cut is David "Shallow Impact" Patten. Our passing game is below subpar, the Falcons played one safety deep most of the game and we still could not generate a consistent passing game.

I think our offense underutilizes Lloyd, which makes him seem overpaid. But its been said in this thread before, you can't catch what isn't thrown your way. Sure, he's dropped a few passes, but so does every wideout. The difference is that we give Lloyd a couple of looks early and then never come back to him. If/when our passing game ever opens up and becomes a "pro" passing attack, Lloyd will be stellar. Right now, its tough for anyone outside of Moss to shine because we just don't do anything well. Outside of going three and out, which we shine at.
