this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; And blaming his catching woes on AB is the same thing those Raiders fans are doing....blaming AB's throwing woes on Stallworth, and the o-liine, and the coaches. Yeah it's partially AB's fautl but everyone of us here knows that Stallworth ...

As far as your underestimating his value, Donte put up better numbers than Lloyd across the board, easily. In 45 games played, Lloyd has 13 TDs. In 56 played, Donte has 23. Plays over 20 yards in the same amount of games? Lloyd has 20, Donte has 46. So lloyd avergaes .29 TD a game, Donte .42. Lloyd averages .44 plays of over 20 yards per game, Donte averages .82. And this is WITH Donte missing huge parts of his first two years. It's not even close, and Lloyd got a third round pick, AND a fourth next year. So damn right Donte is worth at least a second. He is only getting better. Lloyd has never done ANYTHING and drew a 3rd and a 4th. Ridiculous. |

In their first 3 seasons Donte had 16 TDs and Lloyd had 13. You're twisting it. All of a sudden that's undoubtedly worth a second????? Plus it was the Redskins that signed him, who are notorious for overpaying for everything. So when it comes down to it, Brandon Lloyd isn't worth a 3rd and a 4th. On the same token, Stallworth still isn't worth a second rounder.....except maybe to the Redskins. You can't gauge Stallworth's going rate in the NFL trade market by Dan Snyder's standards. He hasn't proven he knows a whole lot about football. Plus I still don't buy that AB throwing totally uncatchable balls. Joe Horn had many more thrown to him and still dropped less over the past 5 or so years. As much as I ahbor AB, I'm not going to put it all in his lap. Simply looking at the dropped passes stat isn't enough. It's the kind of passes that he dropped that get me, and you know it. |

Um, I said over the same number of games, which I mentioned prior to that. I then averaged out each player's rate PER THE GAMES EACH HAD PLAYED. So in the same # of games, i.e. the 45 I had mentioned for Lloyd and the 56 for Stallworth. It's not hard.
I also found an interesting article on ESPN about trading WRs:
The Jets gave a second for McCareins? Are the Jets known for overpaying for players? This is when they had Herm Edwards, so i'd say no. So please, spare me the Donte couldn't get a second nonsense. And if you wanna think AB had nothing to do with uncatchable balls, so be it. You must have been watching different games than what his career under 60% completion percentage would suggest. |

It's an unfair comparison in the first place since one player has 3 years in the league and the other has 4. But over the 3 year stretch there is no evidence that Stallworth is far and away Lloyd's superior. And Stallworth doesn't get extra consideration because he was injured a lot of that time. That's lost production which would be a red flag to me if I were an NFL GM. Results are all that matter.
Umm ok where did I say AB had nothing to do with uncatchable balls. hmmmm i must've missed it.....while you're finding where in my post i ever said that, why don't you address the fact that Joe Horn had the same kind of throws, and a lot more of them at that, that Stallworth had to get thrown at him yet still put up Pro Bowl numbers. I guess you're going to say that AB gave Horn more catchable balls. I hate that i'm being put in a spot to defend Aaron Brooks in a sense, but there's no way I'll believe that it's totally or even mostly Brooks' fault that Stallworth dropped passes. Brooks threw some pretty horrible balls behind, above, and beyond the recievers a lot of the time. However, dropped passes means the ball touched your hands and you had a reasonable shot at catching it but didn't, like errors in baseball. And if you think dropped balls are no big deal, then you're sadly mistaken because in the NFL dropped balls kill drives. |

Goldrush I agree with you 100% on the catchable ball deal, not to defend you know who...it hits you in the hands you get paid to catch it....My question for horn stallworth and the boyz I mentioned in another post is what's the excuse for dropped passes this year, different spin on the ball?? We shall see I guess

Same rap with him....a blazer with questionable hands. Drops=no big deal???? i can't believe u said that. I guess all of his catches were a total credit to him and all of his drops were Brooks fault.

Next, Horn and Stallworth are TWO DIFFERENT RECEIVERS. Joe Horn is more of a possession type, big catch receiver, although he led the team in drops last year. Stallworth is a BURNER, who is learning more possession type skills. Who has been catching AB's passe slonger, the vet Horn, who came to the Saints at age 28 in 1999, or the young player Stallworth, who came two years later and has battled injuries his first two years? Is this even a serious comparison? Can't be.

Ok trading Stallworth would be stupid, He is coming off his best year and is getting better every season.... Get a new Qb in town that is a heckuva lot better than Brooks and trade him.... I really think Stallworth and Brees will be hooking up this year in the endzone alot...... more than horn.......... I just dont see why we trade Stallworth i am just starting to like the guy........
