In what way? Cause their playing styles are NOTHING alike.

Also, Lloyd would suck on the Patriots because the passes to him would be accurate and therefore, harder to catch

No. We already have the same player in Johnny Knox, but Knox if faster.

Excuse me? I must've missed it when Johnny led the league in receiving yards last year...

I understand that you think they're a lot alike, and I agree that half of BLs yards are the schemes, but Johnny Knox and Brandon Lloyd are not the same player.

Brandon Lloyd is awful. It was ENTIRELY scheme. He was garbage everywhere else he went. He runs one route well and occasionally makes a circus catch. Outside of McD's scheme, and he'll quickly become average at best now.

Anyone that gives up more than a 4th rounder is an idiot.

Pats sign Marcus Harrison.

Maybe they'll get some garbage time sacks out of him too, ala Mark Anderson?

This this and more this.

Can someone post the gif or youtube of Lloyd playing dodgeball? I can't find it anywhere.

It was not entirely scheme, he's been successful this year when healthy and was last year when McDaniels got fired. He's a much better player than he used to be, and he's waaaaaaaaay better than Johnny Knox.

The comparison was made because they both run precisely one route well: the comeback. I'm not sure I've ever seen either actually catch a pass while heading down the field.

And Lloyd is terrible. Why can't anyone get this through their heads? Like several others have said, yet I keep getting blasted for, every season up to last year was awful. He was a disappointment everywhere he went. The epitome of a one year wonder.

If he was really any good at all, why in the hell would the Broncos be trading him? They realize he's a joke and want to get what they can while some other poor sucker might actually trade from him.

he's 30 and due for a new contract. if we don't think we can sign him for an amount we're ok with, why not try to trade him? we're certainly not competing this year. did he kick your dog?

No, but people acting like he's going to come in and be an instant #1 threat probably haven't seen him play at all beyond his occasional highlight catch.

He was a monster last year, had raving reports from camp, and is the #1 on the Broncos. I think on a WR needy team he would come in and be an instant #1 threat, yes.

You apparently haven't seen him play at all in the last 2 years.

Hooray. Come on teams let's fork up that 2nd rounder!

fair enough. you just seem to like him about as much as i like moreno.

This makes me laugh every time. You can see his eyes identify the ball, and then he ducks. I have nephews who can make that catch. Just wonderful to see.

Breaking News: The Packers still have injuries.
Starting S Morgan Burnett broke his hand in practice this week.

****.

5 Trades that should happen, but probably wont:

The Bowe one seems random as hell.

No team is going to trade for a QB mid-season.

Britt and Bowe, I could live with that.

A 2nd and a 4th for Palmer is hilarious. He's maybe worth a 4th. It's not 2005 anymore. I realize nobody actually watches the Bengals, but still.

a starting lb and the only leader on the entire team for a 3rd? wth?

i could live with losing orton for a 5th. at least then we wouldn't have a second stringer as captain.

We're not giving up Bowe for a 2nd and 5th when Marshall got 2 2nds. We're not getting rid of Bowe anyway, but definitely not for that.
