McDaniels to Patriots; Lloyd to follow?

It's been confirmed that Josh McDaniels will not return to St. Louis and will return to New England as an offensive assistant during the playoffs. McDaniels' high powered offense never came to fruition in St. Louis, and now his inevitable departure has left a void in the entire coaching staff. The positive to this is that the new head coach (Jeff Fisher?) can bring in an offensive coordinator that suits their needs. Fisher traditionally runs a power running attack, and thus McDaniels departure is a sure welcome to those who want Fisher to coach the Rams. There are negatives as well. Sam Bradford enters his tumultuous third season with a third different offensive coordinator. The offseason acquisition of wide receiver Brandon Lloyd could also be affected. Lloyd, scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, could very well follow McDaniels to New England, thus eliminating the Rams' number one receiving threat (leaving them back in a very familiar position). Sure, St. Louis could aim for the electric Justin Blackmon in the next draft. But one guy, particularly a rookie, cannot immediately change this team's passing deficiencies. Lloyd would be a critical loss for this team.
