Cool story. Thanks for the clarification.I replied to the post I quoted with the word "********."
According to Schefter, here's Floyd's statement:
Cool story. Thanks for the clarification.
You're right, Floyd was a beast during his time here, which consisted of a nice block and a TD catch. What did it cost for those games where he was mostly inactive and often looking lost? 1.5m? 2m?
Yes, his "effort" was tremendous. Aside from being inactive, he was able to cost us an INT during the divisional round playoff game, and sometimes couldn't figure where to line up. We'll all remember his awesome career as a NEP.Floyd played very little and displayed incredible effort in that time.
That's not what you said in this post. They both...
"The difference between failure and not being a fit is quite subjective, no? The point is that they both sucked ass and that people here are making a whole lotta noise over one nice block."
That is what I responded to. Effort and desire are very important IMO. I do not think those two players were in any way comparable for those attributes.
If you're saying that Johnson was worse (due to cost and also effort), then I'd agree, but they both pretty much proved to be failed acquisitions here . That's a fair statement.
What is "irrelevant?" Floyd was not good here. He was a failure. Trying to talk about his great effort is silly. He made a freaking nice block and caught a TD. He also did plenty wrong and was often inactive. It cost the team 1.5--2m dollars. Do you see that as a success story?Irrelevant. We are stacked with receivers and no need to take a chance on someone with a drinking problem.
You seem determined to miss the point, so why not just leave it?
According to Schefter, here's Floyd's statement:
Obviously, he's still full of ****, just like in the past. Luckily, we have a coach who isn't a moron."Several bottles of Kombucha tea" ??
Several = 30 or 40 ?

You're wrong, it's as simple as that. He played two games as a patriot and made two outstanding plays, not good, outstanding.
You're simply wrong.
He was fantastic in the Miami game and looked lost during the Texan game. So mixed results imo. If drinking was still an issue his performance may not have mattered anyways no matter how good or bad.
That about sums up my positionObviously, he's still full of ****, just like in the past. Luckily, we have a coach who isn't a moron.
He had all those 'Gansetts the night before HOU so...He was fantastic in the Miami game and looked lost during the Texan game. So mixed results imo. If drinking was still an issue his performance may not have mattered anyways no matter how good or bad.
I've already said that any comparison to Johnson was faulty, based on overall cost--but the hype on him from day one (and apparently current, in your case) was over the top. If you took issue with that specific comparison and it's been addressed, I'm not sure what else you're looking for?He was signed for insurance for three injured WR. They all got healthy, so his shot was over. Far cry from a player who wouldn't learn or give a decent effort over a year and a half.
