Brandon Lloyd is not a bust!

[Daseal]

Dude, did you read any of the articles about the Skins this year? Lloyd has psychological problems that go way beyond his ability as a player, and as the Post pointed out in one of their post-season exposes, exceed anything a coach can help him with. The belief is that he needs professional help.

I find this interesting. Up until mid season this board was exploding about what a great character Lloyd was. Super supportive in the media, not getting the ball but still a team player, etc etc. Personally, I feel Lloyd could be a great receiver. There were times where Lloyd was open and didn't get the ball, and there were times where he dropped it. The problem is, it's hard to throw to a receiver once every 3 weeks and expect him to be productive. I don't remember which game it was, but there was one game where the first 6-8 passes were thrown at Lloyd, he caught every one and made decent gains. Yet after that we totally abandoned him.

I find it interesting that he's a bad character all of a sudden. I still go back to the Chris Cooley interview on EITM when he said the locker room guys love Lloyd, and a lot of the problems stem from him wearing a hate that said **** in big letters on it. That hat didn't sit well with Gibbs, directly after that we're hearing he's awful in the locker room?

I think the guy could be great. Like everyone else he has a year in the system under his belt. He could be our most productive WR. We need to use his talents, give him the jump balls. I love Lloyd's ability, and since we went after him and ARE instead of a possession receiver, we need to use his leaping ability as a replacement for the big body type guy.
