Don't get me wrong Lloyd is a solid receiver, but he is now 30 and he is much more of a possession receiver then he is a deep threat.. He does have the knack of coming up with the ball, I don't know where the Pats Stand on there Salary Cap but If I were them I would go after Mike Wallace. That bastard can Fly.
Wallace is like 24 and really good, I doubt NE can afford him and he would require giving up a future #1. Lloyd is almost 31 so his market won't be as big which is good. Given Lloyd's time with McDaniel and the fact he has been great the last 2 years, I think its a really underrated signing if it happens.
Lloyd did go 1450 yards on 77 catches in 2010. Just because he doesn't run a 4.3 flat doesn't mean he can't be a down the field big play guy, especially with a QB like Tom Brady. Also Wallace is a pipe dream because of the draft pick compensation/how much more $ he would cost. Meachem? He didn't do very much for NO.
b lloyd was on the radio this afternoon, doug gottlieb show I think? Either way, essentially said outright that he'd play for less if it was with NE... I will admit, after hearing him speak, I feel better about the match, as he seems to have a great deal of respect for Brady/BB and obviously for Josh McDaniels.
If they are so good at making unheralded guys stars, why have they only had 1 good outside WR in the past 5 years and he also doubled as a top 3 WR all time in Randy Moss. Obviously I like Belichick and Brady but with football there is a lot of conjecture and hyperbole surrounding coaches/teams/players sometimes. What you said just isn't really true at all.....
That offense makes guys get open, lol.....Yeah it really made Ocho, Stallworth, Galloway and Branch get open. Branch was solid in his return to NE but he has no speed and is just route runner at this point.
