Originally posted by Ninerz4Life:At this point I think Lloyd has a better chance to make the roster than Stevie. Stevie already pulled a hamstring. The guy hasn't been healthy in 3 years. Nice thought by Baalke not a bad idea but it's never a good sign when a WR goes down with a hamstring in OTAs and it's the same leg that has bothered him the last 2 years. Colin needs WRs to practice with not just suit up on game days. IMO if Lloyd is healthy and Johnson isn't you keep Lloyd and cut Stevie. They got the 4th rd pick they traded for him back anyway.

IMO, the guy who is going to have the hardest time making the final roster unless there are injuries is Lloyd. I'm not sure why anyone around here thinks Lloyd should be on the roster rather than SJ, Patton or Ellington. He's always good for some sensational circus catches, but he won't block and if you blow on him he goes down. Patton has already shown himself to be clutch when healthy. Plus, most people don't seem to get this, but Patton is wicked quick. His 20-yard shuttle time at the combine was basically the same as Tavon Austin. And Ellington may not have taken a snap yet, but at this point, he's a lock because they need to find out what they have in him.

lol no.
Those two players are nothing alike.
I would say McCray or Dontae Johnson (for now)
Originally posted by Ninerz4Life:You guys are putting a lot of stock in Stevie Johnson. I hope your right I hope he is a difference maker but I just don't see it. He played well against Seattle in a blowout. Can anyone tell me his stats when the game still mattered? Seriously I want to know. Say what you want I had the guy on my fantasy team he hasn't been healthy in 3 years. He's got hamstring problems and last year couldn't stay on the field. He needs practice time with Colin. I'm banking on Crabtree being back to 2012 form an improved running game and Ellington adding some speed or at least quickness in the slot.

I don't know what his stats are when the game was 'in the balance', but most of his explosive catches came during a part of the game I would consider within reach, game clock considering. He found soft areas in zone as well as shake and bake Dick to earn a clean release versus press. He has his own thread in this forum. I agree his hamstring issues are concerning. Hope it stays loose.
He is a big upgrade over a rookie Patton. No one can say right now how Patton will play this season, so having a known commodity like SJ will be a difference maker. He most likely will not duplicate his production in BUF due to competing for targets with Crabs/Boldin. Still, just having him line up all over the place with the other WRs creates a lot of flexibility to find mismatches.

But osgood is purely ST. Doesn't fully count imo. I think Lloyd's performance in camp forces the staffs hand to keep him
