Brandon Lloyd is not a bust!

That hat didn't sit well with Gibbs, directly after that we're hearing he's awful in the locker room?

I agree that early on everyone loved him and thought, essentially, "Wow - what a great team guy. Those reports out of SF must be wrong [OR] SF is so screwed up, of course he got a bad rap." Then more than one source reported BL being difficult and having issues in the locker room. Then the big argument with El on the sideline and other sideline blow-ups.

While, the hat may have been an issue, I seriously doubt that JG would bench a productive receiver for that issue alone. JG may have taken him I aside and reminded him that "hey, this is a family entertainment league". I know u think JG has a christian bias that affects his football decisions, I would suggest, however, that he wants football players first. If they happen to be christians, all the better in JG's opinion. JG has always been about winning and, as evidenced from the first time around, he will use/play and deal with football players whose bent is different then his. (ex. John Riggins, D. Manley).

As to the "sudden" turn of opinion on Lloyd, it may also have taken six months of playing with him to realize he was a dick. Perhaps, just perhaps, there wasn't some sinister christian plot to bench and carry out a character assasination on Lloyd. Perhaps, just perhaps, it just took that long for his true colors to come out.

Lighten up Daseal, baby.
