First off, Andre Johnson should be on the list and Reggie Wayne and Larry Fitzgerald should be honorable mentions. Secondly, Lloyd should be higher in the voting.
Of the six receivers, none of them carried an offense on their backs like Lloyd did last season in Denver and it’s probably safe to say none of them had as many acrobatic, bail out your quarterback catches. Perhaps that is the Bronco fan bias in me coming out though, so lets look at the numbers. The NFL’s leading receivers (in terms of yards) last season was Lloyd, the best first-down-per catch percentage average (93.5%) belonged to Lloyd (it was also the highest percentage in a season — with a minimum of 40 receptions — in the last ten seasons).
Only one player (Wallace) had more receptions of 40 plus yards and 20 plus yards than Lloyd last season. Among the receivers PFT has nominated, Lloyd had the second best yards per catch average (18.8), the most yards despite officially starting the least amount of games (11) and the best yards-per game average (90.5). Lloyd also took care of the ball, he’s the only finalist that didn’t fumble at least once in 2010.
It should be Roddy (cant read write or speak english) white, but due to my nola loyalty i voted GJ

Greg Jennings leading in votes? Are awards only awarded to those who win the Superbowl? He was surrounded by championship talent. Why is there no respect for Brandon Lloyd? I think he's a joke, too, but he had a stellar season on a sub-par team. Roddy and Calvin both had better years than Jennings. And Andre! Andre???? Where is Andre?
