ARE vs. Lloyd for the number 2 WR spot

[GusFrerotte]

If Llyod doesn't pan out we are going to be hardpressed to make the playoffs. Only having two legitimate Wr's isn't going to get us to the promised land with playing 9 playoff teams from last year. Thrash is good at special teams, but even has fallen in that regard. I am surprised he still is playing here.

I will be honest I had high hopes for Lloyd last year. I really thought he was going to play well, he said everything I wanted to hear. He is saying all the right things again this year. I am glad he added muscle, but the bottom line is I dont care if you are all muscle you need to perform on the field. I am still holding out hope that he will pan out. I hope somewhere in that newly added 9 lbs of muscle he found a football player, preferably a wide receiver.

I agree with Al that El has earned the #2 spot. Lloyd has to step up ALOT, I hope this year he will have the year we expected last season!

I just watched a clip on are local news in Hampton Roads WAVY 10, interview with Lloyd stating in his opinion we have the BEST WR core in the NFL? Sounded good, with no injuries to SM, El and Lloyd both having a bigger role, we could be strong at WR.......I'll pray for BEST!

I don't think they could crack the top 10 receiver cores in the NFL - just looking at it from a non-hometeam point of view. I just long for the days that we lined up Clark, Sanders and my all time favorite Monk - and you could just feel that one if not two of those guys were going to destroy the other team. Unfortunately the only wr on our team that can be a consistent threat is Moss. ARE is a nice threat on special teams and on some trick plays, but I don't think many defenses fear our team's wr core beyond Moss. I hope Llyod and ARE prove me completely wrong because if they do were are probably a playoff team, but I think what we got out of Llyod and ARE is probably what we can expect in the future.

Put it another way - I bet if you could somehow track nationwide how many people who play fantasy football pick either Llyod or ARE I would bet my house it is less than 1%.
