Someone in DEN tore apart Lloyd. I could always tell the dude was off, and he absolutely falls down when catches it, but thought they should have franchised him simply b/c they had no other legitimate WR. w/o him they have no one on the roster who will play WR in the league in 2013. But if all this is true, then yeah, gj again Snead/Fish
Hes extremely talented, said a Broncos source. He has the best body control and hands of any receiver Ive ever seen from the standpoint of just making the craziest catch. He does it so much that he makes those crazy catches look normal for him.
Hes either going to come down with it, or knock it away from the [defensive back]. He makes contested catches over people because he can elevate and make catches in the crowd, make catches when the [defensive backs] are right there, make one-handed catches on balls that are thrown behind him. His body control is just ridiculous.
...
After his All-Pro-type season, the Broncos traded Lloyd to the Rams for only a conditional sixth-round pick (it turned into a selection in the fifth round).
The Rams havent been very aggressive in re-signing Lloyd, so hell likely land with his sixth team in nine seasons.
That doesnt happen for no reason.
The book on Lloyd, according to several league sources at his various stops, is that he can be moody and surly, depending on the day, and a bit selfish. You wont find many teammates who have good things to say about him.
But others have said that when Lloyd is on the practice field or in games, he is fine and can be managed.
Not everyone agrees.
I know youve heard he was good in the building, but he wasnt necessarily an angel in the building, said the Broncos source. He wasnt a good teammate. During games, he was asking the stat person to see how many catches and yards he had at that point in the game when [Kyle] Orton was starting.
He has that locker room lawyer-type in him. Publicly hell say all the right things, but in the locker room hell voice his opinion.
Hes extremely intelligent. Very articulate, very well-read, but there were times when people in the building thought he may be bipolar - and not joking - because he has days where hes up and ready to go and happy-go-lucky and hes like, Hey, whats up? Hows it going?
And then there were other days when he was surly and moody, and you just know its not a good day to approach him.
Hes kind of a different cat, Ill say that.
...
But I think a lot of that had to do with him getting the ball. He wasnt shy about telling Orton, Give me the damn ball, or a look. I dont think Tom Brady is going to put up with that. Tom Brady is going to be like, Just shut up. I pass it to the open guy. If youre open, Ill get it to you. I dont know how he would react to that. Kyle never did that.
