like Ive said, I dont understand why people think lloyd wont make the team.
A man can be destroyed, but he can't be defeated: The 49ers 2014 official offseason thread
- Thread starter dora_da_destroyer
- Start date
because you have to get rid of patton or ellington
lloyd hasnt played in a year and hes close to his mid 30s
thats why

I just disagree. this org has embraced WRs with experience like moss, manningham, etc.
if/when lloyd outperforms every wr not named quan and crabs (and maybe stevie) in practice they'll leave him on the roster
lloyd hasnt played not because of age. he was lighting us up in 2012 and multiple teams contacted him for 2013 but he decided to not play last year for whatever reasons
I think a lot of people on here underestimate lloyd

i thought lloyd had a 50/50 chance to make the team after he got signed. now after the trade for stevie and the ellington pick, it's more likely that lloyd gets cut
we haven't had this kind of depth at WR in a long time. i think we'll prolly end up carrying 6 WRs like we did in 2012. as it was mentioned, crabs/quan/stevie are locks and there's no way patton/ellington get cut because they are part of the future. osgood looks to have an inside track on the last spot since he's a ST ace. lloyd just seems to be a victim of the numbers game

I mean...I just think with a strong training camp lloyd will make the team. he is a guy with multiple 1k+ seasons and is the only receiver that will give any semblance of deep threat (admittedly, that doesnt mean much to our stuff)
its hard to argue that they prolly wont cut ellington just cuz they just drafted him and osgood is good at ST, tho.

with all these receivers we could've just used ellington pick on another corner then 
they want him to return punts and kicks as wellwith all these receivers we could've just used ellington pick on another corner then

we ended up using 3 picks on corners tho (4 if u include jimmie ward)
how many corners do y'all want? lol

even with all of these weapons i feel like roman is gonna fukk it up somehow.

i'm on the fence about the pick. i really like ellington and happy the 9ers got him, but there were good players left at that slot that would have really helped fill a need for this season. besides, the 9ers are a heavy run first team so loading up on these receivers has me scratching my head. my only guess is adding depth in case of injury.

yeah makes me think lmj is an inevitable cut

my main concern there is none of them could be immediate starters, besides ward...and even ward is questionable.
could be an awkward situation if couple of corners catch injuries, and none of our backups are ready to come in and play well
harbaugh wants more 3 wide, problem is can roman run that type of offense? the guy doesnt even design pass plays

maybe but at the same time you never know who will step up when an opportunity presents itself. look at tramaine brock. he was the 4th CB at the beginning of last season and he ended up being the best CB on the team in 2013. who saw that coming?
yseJ
Empire strikes back
true, but it took brock a few seasons to learn the system. he was awful before ( I hated him lol), and he was responsible for manningham TD in the Giants game, when Eli aimed for him when Brown was forced to leave

Iron sharpens iron. Somebody good is gonna get cut. Nature of having a stacked roster.
