It has been a subject of much discussion on these boards and this website for five years, yet the reality has always been the same.
Michael Floyd has everything you want in a number one wide receiver.
Michael Floyd plays like a number one receiver about five to seven times a year.
On Saturday night, the New England Patriots were welcomed to the other side of the Michael Floyd experience.
Floyd finished the game with one catch on three targets for nine yards.
His modest stat line was not the only issue, something Arizona Cardinals fans are all too familiar with.
Floyd struggled in the other facets of the game was well, getting an offensive pass interference call and being mostly a guy who didn’t look like he belonged.
It prompted a strong out pouring on Twitter from Arizona Cardinals fans and reports, as well as bewildered New England Patriots fans and their media.
After a bad game, will Michael Floyd even play in AFC Championship? #Patriots https://t.co/elxvzyWuM1

@FaithR8s Also, that first INT was all on Michael Floyd. He shouldn't even be dressed. He needs an off-season to develop chemistry w/ Tom

Malcolm Mitchell is a strength. Michael Floyd is a liability. Need Mitchell back next Sunday.

Michael Floyd, who is obviously point shaving tonight, might be seeing a lot of playing time... https://t.co/jaavKHaVqV

Michael Floyd was bad before he came to New England. Then he chose to wear No. 14 and that was all she wrote.

Nice knowing you Michael Floyd. @CSNNE

Prediction: If Malcolm Mitchell can play next week (pending Pats win), Michael Floyd will be inactive.

Michael Floyd really asleep at the wheel in this one.

Not a good game by Michael Floyd.

Michael Floyd doesn't exactly fight for the ball, does he?

Michael Floyd cost Tom Brady a pick.

Some people know me though:

Welcome to the Michael Floyd experience, Patriots.
I fully expect a 4 catch 83 yards and two touchdowns performance from Floyd here in the next couple of games... If the Pats make it that far.
