Then we are doomed. McDaniels also pushed for and got Maroney and Chad Jackson, and we know how that turned out.

Bring back Charlie Weis !!!!!! Simplify the Offense when we had balanced WR play from likes of Branch, Givens, Brown, Patten !

With all due respect, Maroney was actually doing pretty well his first two seasons; in fact, I'd say the biggest problem was misutilization, rather than a lack of talent (remember the Bengals game his rookie year?).

I prefer Lloyd as well. I want someone who has had success in our system or a very similar one as Josh McD will be taking over OC again for us. I don't see Ocho staying with us either. So his cap number will be off the books.

Maybe intensity or just half a step, but he and Manning were struggling off and on through 2010. He's got a lot of wear on his tires too. Turns 33 in November and he's played in 170+ games and started 160. Lloyd turns 31 in July and he's got a lot less wear on his tires and has played his best ball for Josh in this system with nothing nearly as good as Brady as a QB. If you're going to target a veteran FA he's got to be your first choice unless he prices himself out of this market.

Colston on the other hand is 6'4" 225. Give me that guy. I want someone with a wingspan that can go up for the jump ball against a guy like ACromartie, or someone who Brady can actually see as they're sprinting down the sideline.

No more little guys

While I do agree with you about getting a huge wide receiver, I think it would be great for Brady. But like everyone else is saying the offense is complicated and I dont think thats going to change. So the Lloyd obsession stems from familiarity with McDaniels which could be a good thing for us.

take away Ocho's money and give it to Wayne. I won't mind.
