Brandon Lloyd, a true professional

Talk about the AFC, NFC, the NFL Draft, College Football... anything football that has no Washington Football Team relevance.

Brandon Lloyd, a true professional

For the record, reporters asked Lloyd, upon his selection to the Pro Bowl if he wanted to tell any of his former teams "I told you so."? Lloyd responded "No, I want to say ---- you, and I mean that in the most professional way."

What a moron. He doesn't even take one bit of responsibility for his career up to this point. He thinks he's just another guy who's a huge talent and no one has seen it until now. In San Fran he was decent and showed excellent hands but he was traded to Washington for a third and a fourth round draft pick. A major haul. In TWO years with the Skins he didn't catch even one touchdown pass. In two years. No scores. He had attitude problems, he missed team meetings, he showed poor work ethic and he was finally released. This from a coach who dealt with John Riggins sleeping through team meetings and other things

He signed a one year contract with the Bears after playing his college ball in Illinois, it was a golden opportunity built on what he did in San Fransisco. He blew it and had a terrible season and was not re-signed.

He went to Denver and FWIW he was absolutely terrible there his first season. Pressed into action due to the departure of Brandon Marshall Lloyd FINALLY showed some of his potential with a Pro-Bowl season.

So I ask you, who's to blame for not uncovering this potential? Joe Gibbs? Dan Snyder? Lovie Smith... or Brandon Lloyd?

BL has always had the talent he just was a head case (and still is). He finally decided to start playing football instead of just taking up a roster spot. He was a complete waste of space on every NFL roster once the Skins gave him some money.

The only thing I put on the Skins is when they traded for him he had 2 years left on his rookie contract. I would have forced him to play that contract out and prove his worth. Maybe then he would have put some effort into tying to become an NFL WR instead of an NFL roster spot!

BL is a waste of space and if they new coach and GM in Denver have any sense at all they would try to trade him now while they might get something for him!

Because he most certainly won't keep this production up!!!!!

If they think of giving him any money they would be better off just dumping that money on their practice field and lighting it on fire, than to give it to him! At least then it wouldn't count against their cap!

Any player who isn't a complete retard knows better than to burn bridges. Players return to teams they previously played for frequently in the era of free agency. Lloyd has one good season in seven years and suddenly thinks he should talk more smack than Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson, and every other receiver whose records far exceed his one year wonder performance. He better hope he has another season like it or he will be in the wannabe league wishing he had kept his mouth closed.
