The_cavalierman Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I am not sure if we can part ways with Lloyd cap wise. If he has to be here let us hope that Zorn and friends can revive Lloyd's sinking football career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpenn1 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I think he's saying that Gibbs shouldn't have benched him...considering all the players around him said he was working hard and doing well in practices... on that note didnt he break his collarbone diving for a ball in practice. I would assume that was making an effort in practice. Just looking for the positives I actually dont know what to do with the guy I just wish he would be productive I guess but I dont see what the coaches obviously saw in him.

alwaysaskin Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 He'd be hard pressed to do worse than two catches, seriously Lloyd needs to get the Norv out of town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voicekiller Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I don't want to give him a chance. lets just rip the band aid right off and be done with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southskinsfan Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 if he's willing to take a cut in salary and forego the roster bonus, then yes, lets bring him back.we can rework his contract so that if he performs well next year, he'll get a bonus, but if not, good bye.

SearchHorizon Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I don't see how Lloyd's career can be resurrected here. Lloyd's issue is that he doesn't play hard enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeNuIneReDSkiN Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 It all depends on the chemistry that Cambell has w/ Lloyd on this new "west coast offence". He's got great hands, though he does need to step it up a notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dewyane Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 If he can't make it under Gibbs what makes you think he will for a new coach looking to cut fat and implement his kind of players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimpey42000 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Yeah he's a young receiver if he's in the right situation he has a good chance of being a great player, i don't think it will be here though. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracy444 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hey maybe the 49ers can use him :laugh: they suck as bad as he does:D Maybe even pay them to take him back:silly: He should have been a much better reciever for us than he has been. He looked just plain pittyfull when he was on the field this year ......i felt bad for him and the skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwayMonster31 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The only person who can save Brandon Lloyd is Brandon Lloyd. He must be a better teammate and become consistent, but miracles have happened before. "Doctors say he's got a 50/50 chance of living, though there's only a 10% chance of that."

DarrellsMyHero28 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I was always frustrated by the situation with Lloyd, it seemed like he never got a chance, and I'm not sure I'll ever believe that he was as bad at Reche Caldwell or Thrash or McCardell or whoever else we threw in there (Farris etc). If you're gonna give the man that much money, and when I saw him in practice he seemed to have quite a bit of talent, give him a chance! I have nothing to stand on here, but it seems like he never really got enough of an opportunity. He's been a bust so far but he is 6 feet and 200 pounds thus he's taller than Moss and Randle El by two inches put him on the field! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing to stand on here, but it seems like he never really got enough of an opportunity. He's been a bust so far but he is 6 feet and 200 pounds thus he's taller than Moss and Randle El by two inches put him on the field! No one in the modern era has started as many games and had less production over a two year span. Very few third receivers have had less production over a two year span. So far into his contract, he has made $440,000 per catch/$29,000 per yard. He doesn't contribute on special teams. He'll cost about $2.4 real money to keep next year. The only possible reason to keep him is that he would cost so much against the cap to release/trade. He doesn't get passes in his direction because the quarterbacks don't trust him. Whether they don't trust his effort, his patterns, or his ability to catch the ball, or all of the above, I don't know. He's had significant chances with two quarterbacks, neither of whom have trouble finding the other receivers, even the #4, #5 and #6 receivers. There is no conspiracy - its an embarrassment to the organization that he has flopped so badly. But playing him only makes things worse. Compared to Lloyd, Gardner and Westbrook were superstars. Not good - superstars. Only Howard compares to Lloyd, and at least he contributed on returns. What kind of opportunity would be sufficient? Including his much-more-productive SF days, he's started 41 games and played in 68. He's started 13 games for the Skins for 380 yards. About 30 yards/start. Of the receivers from the 2003 draft, the only WRs still active with less yards over the last two years are: Taylor Jacobs (drafted by Skins), Billy McMullen (only because he didn't play last year - now with Skins), and David Tyree (who was kept because he's an all-pro special teams player). That's it. There will be better receivers on the practice squad rosters, so why waste money on Lloyd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
