I don't know what Brandon Lloyd you have watched, but the guy averaged 338 yards per season his first 7 years, never reaching 800. Last year he broke out with 1400. Iin the 3 previous years combined he played juts 21 games and had less than 500 yards total. And it is not like he was behind big time WRs all those years. He just wasn't very good.
So he has 1 big year in a Josh McDaniels offense, one decent year (733 yds) for SF in 2005, looked average this year, and stunk the other 7 years.
So basically we should take on a guy with huge baggage and attitude issues who does not know our offense because he has 1 good season in 10? There is a reason why nobody else but McDaniels traded for him either. Plenty of teams are WR starved but none made the deal.
Not to mention if STL gave a 5th it would take a 4th from us since they will be drafting well ahead of us in the draft.
I am very glad we passed. Sign/draft a guy in the offseason. Don't panic midseason when midseason guys never do anything anyways.
