When was he ever IN his prime??

The man had one of the worst knocks on him in San-Fran, that's why only Washington offered him so much loot.

he had no work ethic, he didn't run routes, didn't block down field and had a shitty attitude, now of course you read this tagline and you think "Oh shit he's talking about Randy Moss" all true things that fit him as well BUT Lloyd does not have the god given ability Randy had so his negatives out weighed his positives.

Lloyd was drafted in the fourth round of the 2003 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.
San Francisco 49ers traded Lloyd to Washington Redskins in exchange for a third-round draft pick in the 2006 NFL Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. His first season is widely considered a failure, as he caught 23 passes for no touchdowns. According to Howard Bryant of the Washington Post, citing NFL.com, "Lloyd suffered through the worst season for a starting receiver in the Super Bowl era... No starting No. 2 wide receiver in the NFL started more games (12) while producing less (23 catches, 365 yards)."
Lloyd never made it out of Joe Gibbs doghouse, due to a questionable attitude and alleged poor work ethic. On Sunday, November 4, 2007, Lloyd was listed among Redskins inactives as the team traveled to play against the New York Jets. Citing the reason behind the move, Gibbs said that Lloyd had been told to remain behind in Washington as disciplinary action for missing important team meetings. Lloyd would spend the latter part of the 2007 season on injured reserve after having snapped his collar bone while making a diving touchdown catch during team practice.

On February 26, 2008, the Redskins released Lloyd, who caught only two passes for 14 yards for the 2007 season.

On March 7, 2008, Lloyd signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears after the release of Muhsin Muhammad and the loss of Bernard Berrian to free agency. The move reunited him with Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner, who was Lloyd's head coach at Illinois. Lloyd had a successful start to his career in Chicago, establishing himself as a favorite target of quarterback Kyle Orton, with 15 catches in his first four games. An injury forced him to miss several weeks, and he fell out of favor with the coaching staff as a result.[1] He returned to the field in week 11, though didn't approach his early-season productivity until the Bears' final game of the season, where he caught four passes from Orton for 34.[2]

Lloyd's deal with the Chicago Bears expired after the end of the 2008 season. In early April, Bears quarterback Kyle Orton was traded to the Denver Broncos in a deal involving Jay Cutler. As the offseason progressed, the Bears did not make any efforts to resign Lloyd. Being one of Kyle Orton's favorite targets during the 2008 campaign, Brandon Lloyd was once again reunited with Orton when he signed with the Denver Broncos on June 15, 2009.

And as you can see, Eddie Royal,Brandon Marshall,Brandon Stockley,Daniel Graham are the top receiver options for Orton in Denver, Lloyd hasn't even been a back up option.
