Chargers' WR Danario Alexander....what could have been?
 

I wrote a post about him in August, shortly after he had been cut by the Rams. His knee may not last the rest of the season but he sure would look good stretching the field in Foxboro, something Lloyd has not been able to do.

LLoyd does not have stretch the field speed ... why did anyone think he could stretch it?

re: Chargers' WR Danario Alexander....what could have been?
 

Probably b/c he averaged almost 19 ypc in 2010, including nine passes of over 40 yards and twenty-three of 20 plus yards.

I still think he has that same speed..we have seen flashes downfield..week 1 where he blew the doors off the CB but couldn't come up with the ball

re: Chargers' WR Danario Alexander....what could have been?
 

Yep, missing out on Alexander and Tiquan Underwood is going to cost them in the end. Now they're stuck throwing to scrubs like Lloyd, Gronk, and that other guy they shoulda traded Wes Walter or something?

Who would you take off the field?

Only realistic argument is maybe Branch, and I doubt Alexander is reliable and on the page enough to replace his production.

:confused:

He's got 8 catches, in 3 games, on the season. Do the Patriots need another player for the training room ice tubs, or something?

re: Chargers' WR Danario Alexander....what could have been?
 

Ahhhhhh, sarcasm. I get it. I never said that Alexander would be be more important to fate of the Patriots than Lloyd and didn't even mention Welker. If you are really comparing the physical gifts of Alexander, when healthy, with someone like Underwood, your lose all credibility. Alexander would have been a no risk pickup who, as a role player, could have possibly provided the one thing that the Pats' offense still lacks on a consistent basis. I would take that over what Branch can give them without hesitation, particularly given that Branch doesn't provide special teams value. Do you think that Chargers are happy that they took a chance on him?

re: Chargers' WR Danario Alexander....what could have been?
 

Yup...those 42 catches for 480 yards with an 11.4 average and 3 TD's really is a major bummer.

He is only tied for 12th in the AFC in receptions.

At this rate he will go over 1,000 yards.

Really not happy we have him.

This was the first week that they started to focus more on him....time will tell. I'll admit, "what could have been" is a bit much but I have always loved his potential.
