Brandon Lloyd


LUVTHESHOE

Recommended Posts

He is enamored with Josh McDaniels, I doubt he will consider us and we dont have the money either.

In his ESPN interview (the day Peyton landed in Denver), he said QBs like Brady or Peyton do not come around every day, so wherever they are, it would be nice to catch passes from them. So, not sure if it meant going back to his old team, the Broncos, or possibly Josh McDaniels' new team, the Pats.

I would LOVE to see Brandon Lloyd here in Indy. The only problem I have with it is his size, with Reggie Wayne and Collie as our current receivers I think we need a big receiver(6'3+). B Lloyd has great hands and as far as I know the teams that are interested were Patriots and the Rams still.

Me and my friend were having this discussion in the break room. He felt like the success Marvin had in the early 2000s could possibly not be replicated with bigger CBs now even with Marvin in his prime. I felt differently. You referring to the big wideout with close to similar attributes (speed and route running though not as great as Marvin) prompted me to throw this out to posters.

Does it almost make it mandatory that our wideouts be bigger as the game evolves? Our latest wideouts drafted have been the 6'0" 210 lb Garcon, and the 6'2", 200 lb Collie. So, are we seeing a shift towards bigger wideouts throughout the NFL? Or is it just scheme fit that decides it?

Is Brandon Lloyd a Colt I haven't heard of him?

Nah he's a WR for St. Louis. He had 1,400 yards for the Broncos in 2010 (which led the NFL). He was traded October 2011 during the seasonto St Louis. He had a pretty productive year last year for two teams with 283 yards for Denver then 683 yards for St Louis after traded from Denver. I think he would be a good pick up for WR if he could be had for the right price.

    • How about getting a proven commodity in the FA market? I know that assumes the player wants to be here, but money talks and the Colts have some. This D needs a solid center fielder. Simmons fits that role perfectly. If he’s gettable, here’s to Ballard pulling the trigger, even if it’s a slight overpay. The team CANNOT leave this crucial position to players who have consistently underperformed in the past (Cross and Thomas). 
    • All - this is the real question.   What do the 32 GMs in the league know that the rest of us (we're on the outside looking in) don't know?   Answer that question and you'll have what you need to analyze the choices made by the leadership of your favorite team.
    • We have the weak secondary where a player in FA can be signed for a year and get a starting job. We also have the money to afford any of them. Not too many other teams have that combination of both factors right now. Also, the draft recently happened and I'm guessing a lot of these teams want to try out their early round picks in the secondary right now. We didn't draft anyone in the secondary until the 5th round. We are somewhat desperate (not to mention Daniel Scott is out for the year again). Other teams are not at the moment.
    • Why do you think A and B are the only options?    What’s the reason for Ballard to be cheap?   What incentive would there be?    Posters like Superman and w87r have crunched the numbers.  The Colts are among the league leaders in spending.     Ballard’s is going into his 8th year.  He’s been competitive in 6 of the 8 seasons and I personally think season 1 was a tank.    Also…. Ballard always says the team is always looking to improve.  It’s now mid-June, so the Colts have 5 more weeks to sign someone before camp starts.  There are a number of FA safeties available.  Why aren’t the other 31 teams signing these players either.  They’re certainly good enough.  But it’s Ballard who is wrong or incompetent or cheap or something and not anyone else.    
    • This is a great story on Mitchell. The part in here where Mitchell explains how much he appreciates Ballard going to bat for him was awesome.
