Are We Being Too Hard on Brandon Lloyd?

[Bill B]

I found this qoute from Llyod amusing....

"Any move that's made is for the betterment of the team," Lloyd said of Caldwell's arrival. As to his productivity, Lloyd said: "I can only put up production with the opportunities given to me, that's it." When asked if he had a desire to ask that more passes be thrown his way, Lloyd said no. He also said he required no clarification as to how the signing may affect his role. "I'm an established guy, too," he said.

Just because a team gives you a $10 million dollar signiong bonus does not mean you are an established player - a player needs to earn the respect of coaches and teammates through hard work, determination, desire and production - which in Llyod's case he has not done much of with the Redskins or 49ers.

The only thing Llyod has established is he is an expensive bust, one that if not for cap complications he would have already been cut from the team.
