Lloyd doesn't make trip to Meadowlands

[Twilbert07]

Is Brandon Lloyd the biggest bust (not in a good way) of Gibbs II?

[Bill B]

I think all the Llyod Supporters need to just come out and confess that this experiment is over. Stop saying that the coaches are not giving Brandon Llyod a fair chance because they are not putting him out there in games. This coaching staff expects players to put in 100% effort in practice and games and it is quite apprent Llyod cares only about himself.

I am tired of "we paid the guy big bucks, so he is obviously a good player". Just because a player makes big bucks does not mean that they are an elite player - it just means that a team's Front office made a mistake.

Going into the offseason I think the Redskins would be wise to go after mid-level receiver that is unrestricted - we cannot afford to surrender any more picks for a WR. Should the Skins go after one in the draft? I would rather the team focus on the offensive and defensive lines with the draft picks and pick up a WR in free agency because our depth on the lines is dangerously thin.

One more thing on the Llyod issue - if I remember correctly Schneed made a bet concerning Brandon Llyod on this website that Llyod would have less than 600 yards if I am not mistaken - just like to say nice call on that one!

Nice post. First names that come to mind on the free agent market are Bernard Berrian and Bryant Johnson.

Good post. It amazes me that people still take Lloyd's side on this.

Yes I did, good memory. I also said I'd be surprised if he came anywhere close.

He's horrible.

Agree or disagree, it's a little lame to call people out over something like this...

No, I'd have to say that it was Archuleta, he was over-paid, even for what we think we were getting out of him, and we replaced him by December last year. But we dont have him any more, so who cares?
