Does Brandon Lloyd REALLY deserve all this hate?

I remember what Gibbs did with those guys but as much as I hate to say it, that is ancient history. Gibs was a lot younger and closer to their age. I gotta believe BL would listen to Gibbs when it comes to football because Gibbs is his coach but when it comes to life BL sees Gibbs as an out of touch old man.

I think with all the free agents out there it was very foolish for a team that has barely sniffed the playoffs in 15 years to take a chance like this and give away 2 draft picks for the opportunity to take this chance. Hopefully someday the Skins will look around and see what successful franchises do to be successful.
