Your problem is you are stuck on stats, as many do, stats are easily manipulated often because of circumstances which is the whole point. he's not going to stack up because he's not being used.

But if you think you are correct with your statement on Lloyd then take it up with Gibbs and let him know that there was absolutely no reason whatsoever to trade for the guy because as you said he's a lousy WR. Of coarse that's not what we heard when we traded for him is it?

Ok, why should Brandon Lloyd be used here?

I'll give you that having a bad QB is pretty much death for a receiver in terms of receptions and yards gained, but what about when he moves onto another team and is even more totally useless.

The coaches gave Lloyd every chance to be successful here and he's been terrible.

terrible.

when? what chances have we given him? He gets maybe 1 or 2 balls thrown his way every TWO OR THREE games...hard to get into a rythym like that...He's not really terrible as a recieiver. Hell, talent wise he is pretty damn good..problem is , he is too much of a damn distraction, probably doe'snt work very hard (the kiss of death on a gibbs-coached team), and does'nt endear himself to his teammates as far as i can tell...

and somebody mentioned his best year was for 733 yds and he is not a # 2....hell thats about what i expect from a # 2 (on a team known for running the ball like us)...Randle EL hasnt reached that season total yet in his career. (he will this year though YEAH!)


bottom line..I think B Lloyd has alienated the coaches and they are keeping him off the field. Both parties are to blame.
