2) While WRs are expected to block on runs, that's not his job. His job is to go out there and catch. CP can throw a bad ass block, but he can also do his job and run when it's expected of him. Brandon Lloyd can't do shit even when given the opportunity.
3) Offseason is good. But when you show up at a team meeting late and then leave and then don't even show up to the damn away game. You're obviously showing you don't give a shit about the team. The guy doesn't even suit up for some games.
4) I don't think anyone is gonna outright say they hate the guy in public. That would look awful for people to get the perception that things in the locker room aren't meshing well. For the sake of the team and for keeping things light they are gonna point out his positives and not say anything bad about the guy.
5) Frankly if you're the damn benchwarmer on a team, you need to be active and stay positive for the team. They teach you that shit in high school. I never played varsity sports, but if the team was being productive and out there playing their asses off, my coach would be damned if you're not pumped up cheering them on.
Brandon Lloyd isn't a TERRIBLE person, he's probably an alright guy. But when it comes to being focused on work and the team, the dude's a douche. Of course he's only been thrown to twice, he hasn't done anything all year. I'd be surprised if he actually studied tape after games and has done anything to better himself as a player prior to the regular season. You say they need to put him in better situations? How is coaching supposed to do that? Brandon Lloyd needs to put Brandon Lloyd in better situations. If he wants to catch the ball, get out there, get open and catch the ball. I'm tired of coddling this guy. If he wants to play so bad, prove it.

Can't prove anything if you don't play. I'm not a Lloyd fan but I'm a fan of reality, in some instances. Lloyd simply hasn't dropped pass after pass, as you say. He's about the only one who hasn't. I don't even recall him dropping a single pass this year. Can you refresh my memory or explain why you say he has?
