Does Brandon Lloyd REALLY deserve all this hate?

Physically he worked, your probably right on the football end though.

On the Portis note I missed a lot of the game Sunday saw bits and pieces and the highlights, it looked to me like Portis slimmed down did anyone else notice that as well?

Portis' weight seems to fluctuate alot inbetween seasons...

In 2004 he came in slim, but gained some for the 2005 season..
2006 he was noticibly heavier (unless he was wearing different pads) and now he seem somewhere in between his 2004/2005 status.

Llyod is a waste of space!!!!!!!! I mean come on, at least Andre Reed when he was here caught a TD pass, this schmuck can't hall in a pass over 10 yards and that is if he cathces one or has one thrown to him. The guy is a colossal bust, just as bad as when Spurrier drafted Tyler Jacobs. Differences of opinion are one thing guys, but stats don't lie. Llyod is a waste of a roster space. Draft a WR next year and see if you can trade him, although he has been so nonexistent production wise nobody but the most desperate teams will want him. Getting Lloyd was a very good move at the time, but the guy just hasn't panned out at all and is costing us a lot of $$$$$. That being said, I do not understand why we haven't seen more of Caldwell or McCardell. McCardell came in the one game and caught both balls to him. The WR drama makes no sense to me and is a big source of why I am not sure Gibbs is going to get the job done.

offiss, even you have to admit that it's hilarious that you accused me (falsely) of not watching the games and then admitted 2 POSTS LATER that you didn't even watch the whole game this week.

I think CP dropped the extra weight a while ago. He tried bulking up for one season, it didn't work out, and he's back down to his typical weight. I remember when Saunders first came here CP commented that he wanted to get back to being a speed back.

We can trade or dump him in February and save the roster bonus due him in March
With a new quarterback and the money that he and Moss make you would think they would have wanted to work on timing like Cooley and Campbell did

It seems pretty well documented that he gives up on routes he doesn't like. If that's the case, what QB is going to be able to count on him. If the QB doesn't look for you b/c he can't trust you, then you could be standing alone in the endzone and you just won't be seen.

Lloyd has to earn both the coaches and the QB's trust to get an opportunity, he clearly hasn't done that.

face it the guy cant play. wasnt any good in SF and the skins blew it by signing him to a huge contract and giving up a 3rd and a 4th rounder
