Bye week filler - Brandon Lloyd - New England Patriots Forums

I wouldn't post a new thread on this, except it's a slow week with the Pats off this weekend.

Take it for whatever it's worth.

Rams' Lloyd will follow McDaniels | St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Quote:

But there's a catch for Lloyd, the Kansas City area native who's scheduled for unrestricted free agency after this season. If offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels leaves St. Louis, Lloyd would attempt to follow.

"I can't even lie about that," Lloyd said. "I'm tied to McDaniels. He uses me differently than other offensive coordinators used me in my entire career. He uses me as an every-play receiver. The short game, mid-range game, gimmick passes, deep balls.

"I do everything in this offense as opposed to other coordinators who would just run me off as the deep guy; run me off into double coverage and then say I'm not open. So I really like how Josh uses me within the offense. I'm extremely comfortable in the offense. So that is definitely going to be a. ...

At this point Lloyd paused and didn't finish the thought.

brady would elevate that guy to top 10 maybe top 5 wr

he makes amazing catches and unlike chambers, doesn't have dropsies

I don't think any WR has had as many highlight reel catches in a season as Lloyd did in 2010. He was ridiculous that season.

If Lloyd is on the Pats next season with McDaniels as the OC and Brady, Welker, Gronk, Hernandez, and Lloyd all stay healthy, then the 2012 Pats would be the first team to ever have four 1000 yard receivers. There's just too much talent there for that not to happen.

I would do it. That instantly solves the wideout problem, and gives us a chance to draft and develop a guy behind him.

I'd take him over V.Jax if somehow he was tied with McDaniels. Because he is right with McDaniels. Lloyd was the only real bright spot on that offense when he came to St.Louis...we were close to getting him this season, so Belichick must have some interest and like what he see's from him.

Plus, isn't Jackson's next suspension going to be a 1 year one if he gets in trouble again?

yeah but how often do pats get popped for dui? lol

TBradyOwnsYou · 01-06-2012, 09:29 AM

My concern would be how would Lloyd deal with not being #1?

patsfan-1982 · 01-06-2012, 09:37 AM

if Josh comes back to new england he is not comeing with him Brandon Lloyd is not going to play here for 5 or 6 million per year and that all the pats will offer after they pay Welker top Five WR money
