If Bradford is healthy enough to throw him the ball Lloyd will get 30 catches maybe more.

Yeah we didnt win this trade. Even the Llyod pessimist should agree with that.

EFX panicked and traded him a little early. If they would have waited till the deadline they could have got more.


Just makes me wonder though. With the way comp picks work. You get them if you lose more players then you sign before the draft. So EFX might be gearing up to bring in a lot of FAs next offseason depending on how this one turns out. If we would have kept him and let him walk in the offeason we might not have got anything. Dont know until the offseason....

I can see us finally spending money in 2012.

i wanted us to trade him (business, nothing personal) and am satisfied that we did-- even for low compensation-- but i'd categorize it more as "something that needed to be done" than a win. . . more like a resolution to a no-win situation, IMO. . .


and while i'm not really feelin' the confidence, i'm at least hopeful that we'll shell out for a bit more talent in FA next year. . . at any rate, i think you want to keep the option open, at the absolute least-- not paint yourself in a corner where you CAN'T bring in any decent FAs without sacrificing a draft pick. . .

like i told buff, the best of all worlds scenario with the comp pick was only a pick at the end of the third, after all 32 regular picks. . . the top-five fifth we're probably going to get from STL will only be forty spots or less lower, and we've got it now. . . and we move forward with young guys getting the reps-- preferrably matt willis and eron riley, if they don't intend to re-sign royal. . . let the only QB who's under contract past February get as many live reps as possible with the WRs and TEs that will also be here past february. . .

we aren't winning shit this year even if we play all the vets. . . may as well get as many rookie mistakes out of the way now as we possibly can, to shorten the process for the following years. . .

anyway, forget that crap-- this is about lloyd making sure we get our pick. . . i hope McChuckIt goes deep every play this week. . .

It is 30 catches total by the end of the season playing for St. L. We traded him for a conditional draft pick, and if he catches at least 30 balls by the end of the season for St. Louis then we get a better draft pick...

I think it's a chance I would take. 3rd round picks are coveted as opportunities to get a talent of an impact player. 5th round picks are doled out for players who don't even make the roster every year. Teams are even willing to chance trading a 5th round pick for a veteran who could likely even get cut from the team during preseason.

You just said you think its the worst run franchise in the league. If you believe thats the case you clearly dont like the team. Why stick around if you dont like how the team is run?

No. I don't like the Raiders. I don't like the way the Broncos are being run right now. That's a significant difference in the 2.

Obviously the "worst run league in the NFL" is an opinion. But let's look at one thing. Our team is getting blown the F out. We are 30th in defense in points given up (probably worse after today), and with the way our offense is moving the ball the past few weeks we are one of the worst offensively.

This coaching staff isn't giving the fanbase any signs of hope whatsoever. We don't even compete. I saw somebody post today that he was happy with the fact that we don't give up, in a 45-10 ballgame.

i do think it's a little tough to argue that we don't look like a poorly-run franchise when we get beat that bad at home again-- i mean, agree or disagree, but it's not tough to see where that perception would come from. . . rebuilding or not, this one did sting a little, even through all the other losses. . . not as bad as 59-14, but still pretty ugly. . .

If all this was happening under Shanahan i would agree with you. Unfortuantely, the state of the club is worse than it has ever been so it means the process to right itself will take longer. While i agree that someone saying we looked "better" after getting our ass kicked is moronic it doesnt mean the organization doesnt know what its doing. They've only had one offseason, and while i dont think Fox is the longterm answer he was needed because the guy before him was worse. If we stay with Fox and in 2 more years are facing the same issues than you may be on to something. But this isnt like the Lions working under Millen for a decade. The circumstances from what we are under is entirely different right now.

All losses sting.

Indy gets blown out 62-7 but im not going to say that franchise is poorly run. They just happen to rely on one particular player a lot. I think their HC sucks ballz though. I dont fault Bowlen or Elway for Fox's shortcomings as a HC. I think most rational fans understood that Fox isnt a winner in terms of playoff success or SB wins. This is just about stability for the team and regaining the players we lost via McDouche.

Indy is having an anamoly season. Denver hasn't seen the playoffs since 2005. Denver hasn't even had a winning record since 2005.

In this 6 years of losing seasons, we have seen: 3 of the worst defenses in the history of this organizations existence, maybe 4 if this year doesn't get much better. We are currently working towards one of our worse offenses this organization has seen in recent years. In light of what's happening with Tebow (yes it could change by the end of the year), we don't even have a young QB to give this organization hope. ANd now we have a coaching staff that seems clueless on the offensive side of the ball, and has shown no ability to turn the defense around on that side. We surrendered 45 points today, and this is the defense the coaching staff was hoping to have since week 1 with the exception of 1 or 2 players.

Indy also has Peyton Manning. Had we not lost the talent that we had in Hillis, Cutler, Marshall, and Sheffler and hired a legit HC i highly doubt that we would be where we are. Again, its about perspective. Most teams go through droughts when they dont have a FQB in place.

Well, dont totally agree with you on that. Plummer played his way out of a job much like Orton did. By the end of 08' for me i thought the offense was in place but needed tweaking in the redzone. And of course the defense needed to be overhauled and rebuilt but going by that we were going in a pretty positive direction until McD ripped and stripped it all down.

I don't agree at all that Plunger played his way out of a job, but that is a different argument. Shanahan completely changed the offense away from Plunger's strengths and catered it to Cutler's forcing PLunger to play that way. Why Shanahan took the play action bootleg out of the offense in 2006 when it was clearly Plunger's greatest strength is beyond me.

Because it was clear that you could only go so far with a guy who was limited and wouldnt put in the extra work to be better. Shanahan felt that Cutler gave him more to work with and when Plummer struggled in 06' (mainly crashing in KC) he pulled him. People have to remember by the time 06' rolled around the only team that fell for the bootleg was KC but even by then they were figuring it out. With Jay, it gave them more options for that position.

Wow, Shannon was his TE in the "big game" he's referring too. Was that a bit of a dig Shannon?

That game was on Matt Lepsis for getting beat like a drum in the Congo all day long and for Shannahan for getting out-coached. He was too stubborn to make any adjustments. Joe Porter killed Lepsis all day long and they did nothing to provide help.

Brandon has 15 catches in 3 games with the Rams, 3 catches last game against the Cardinals, plus 6 against New Orleans and 6 against Dallas. That's 15, not 12 (lots of sites don't completely update their stats).

With 9 games to go he just needs 15. Unless he gets hurt there's virtually no way he won't get 30.

He's going to get that much by week 12.

But frankly, a 5th round pick is really an afterthought. How many fifth rounders ever make an impact in the NFL?

5 164 New Orleans Saints Carl Nicks† OT Nebraska Big 12 from New England
5 165 New York Giants Jonathan Goff LB Vanderbilt SEC
5* 166 San Diego Chargers Marcus Thomas RB UTEP C-USA

A few of these guys are starting. Torain was a nice pick (although he was hurt for years he's now coming into his own as a starter for the Redskins). A few other guys jump out of that list as guys who've had nice careers. Carl Nicks for instance came in, won a starting job with the Saints at guard and has started every game.

You can get a decent G in the 5th round sometimes.

More typical is Matthew Slater, WR for the Patriots. He has 1 reception on his career. :ranger:
