As long as he stays out of trouble with the law, I will root for him to compete with Santanna for the #1 role.

I also think it's kind of silly to say "Lloyd's not a #2" due to to last year's performance when everyone's performance last year was subpar. With that line of thinking we don't any first stringers.

The only problem I have with this comparison is that Clark actually had the goods to back up the attitude. Lloyd, not so much.

Yeah there's really no comparing the two. Clark was a gamer that gave it all on the field. Lloyd so far has been a punk that hasn't shown us anything on the field.

absolutely agree with this assessment.
Clark was one of the all time best Skins wr's, it's a slap in his face to be compared to Lloyd.

For as much as I think Lloyd will come around, I don't think anyone quite understands that in order to produce, you have to have a viable QB to throw it to you. It wasn't all Lloyds fault.

Without a doubt Gary Clark's receiving ability has shown to be superior to Lloyd's but there's not a lot of dissimiliarity in attitude. Something that easy to overlook when your catching 75+ 1200+ yards and 8+ TDs every year. Don't get me wrong. I love Gary Clark. He's basically a local legend down in these parts (SW VA).
