Where the Hell is Brandon Lloyd?!

[gabe1984]

Is he really that bad that he's only on the field for like four plays a game. It really pains me to see the James Thrash (who I happen to like as a person and a special teams guy) is our freakin third wide receiver. I kept hearing that Lloyd put all this work in during the off season, why the hell don't they involve him in the offense then. If he's that bad, they should just cut his stupid ass and then go to Carlos Rodgers and tell him that if he doesn't start playing like a first round draft pick he's gonna be next. In fact, both of those guys should go back to their home on Bum Island.

Rogers was not all that bad today. But I'm with you on Lloyd. I didn't see him on the field at all. Why they are not playing him is kind of ridicules. I think once Caldwell is ready he'll be on the field as our 3rd wr.

Obviously. Speaking of which, anybody notice that Arch Deluxe was all over the place last night for the Bears? Not saying this will happen with Lloyd, because it's pretty obvious he's not really that good of a player, but still...

Did this really need an entire new thread?

Brandon Lloyd is bad, so he doesn't play.

Brandon Lloyd is expensive, so he isn't cut.

I'm not sure that there is anything left to talk about with regards to him.

To each his own.

Basically, you can't put it any clearer than this.....This is exactly what should be said about B. Lloyd in every conversation concerning him....

3rd and a 4th for him - what a ripoff!!

It's less about us caring for Lloyd and more about us being pissed that Gibbs gave up a 3rd and a 4th for this stiff. It isn't like his bad attitude wasn't common knowledge - I recall reading stuff about Lloyd pissing off teammates and coaches in San Fran. I would have preferred trading those picks and taking a chance on Randy Moss and his drama. Seems to have worked out OK for the Pats, and they only gave up a 4th.

I really think the entire NFL was shocked at how little the Patriots gave up for Moss. Makes you wonder if there was some collusion going on. I'm sure we would have gladly gave up more.

I think they'd be more inclined to put up with his attitude if he knew what to do out on the field. Everything I've heard though says that he insisted on working out on his own this summer. That he needed to do things his way and for the coaches to just trust him. But he came back not knowing the playbook at all.

Lousy trade, no question about it

But how can he not know the playbook?? It's his 2nd year in the offense? He should know it like the back of his hand.

If I'm not mistaken, this offense is complicated for the QB, but not the Wr's. Basically he has 9 routes he has to learn and that's it. I'm sure there are adjustments and stuff but c'mon! I remember Joe T. and Al S. saying how easy it was for the WR's. So it's hard for me to believe that Lloyd does not know the playbook. Is that a rumor that's flying around?
