Bersin. He has a hot GF.

I think Byrd's speed forces defenses to account for him

He's quicker than Bersin too, which makes a difference in getting open. If he can stay solid in the return game, I think that also gives him an edge.

For this season, I choose Bersin. For the future, I choose Byrd. Bersin is sure handed, but he's at his ceiling already. Byrd has potential to progress to at least as good as Ginn, which would be rather nice to have in a few seasons.

In regards to pure wide receiver, Bersin by a mile.

We already got the better version of Byrd in Ginn and Brown. I think Bersin serves as a poor mans Wes Welker. 

Neither Ginn or Brown have Byrd's elite speed. Brown isn't as shifty or as quick, and Ginn, though faster than most, has always had oven mitts for hands. No way I believe that we've seen or experienced the "better version."

Edit: Bersin is more like the poor man's Jerricho Cothcery when Cotchery was at his best. Welker was a relatively small, quick possession receiver. Bersin, bigger and slower.

I think it's debatable whether Ginn or Byrd is faster. Both have posted a 4.28, although Byrd's time is fresher. Brown is fast enough, and went from leaky hands in preseason to sure handed regular season. I hope they keep 6 receivers, or at least let #6 stick on the PS in case of injury. Plus, we all seem to be writing Hill off at this point, and I'm not sure that point has arrived yet, despite his gimpy leg and some drops. But it's all about 'what have you done for me lately', and that would be this morning's practice. Tomorrow another player will be a lock, and another will all of a sudden be a sure cut.

I would like to see the foot race. Byrd has younger legs, and posted his time on grass which is more amazing.

I think we are overlooking Hill and Norwood to a certain degree. I will just accept whatever the brass decides, though I am concerned about the acceptance of another guy with oven mitts on our 53. We all know that Ginn's here mainly due to his speed. Are Hill's exceptional measurables enough to justify a roster spot? It seems like enough meat was left on the bone last season, that they'd be loath to accept what is essentially becoming the status quo. If only Bersin were more dynamic with the ball in his hands, could bully DBs, or was simply faster, but he's not, so...he'll likely always be a bubble guy.

Time is getting shorter, so we'll have our answers relatively soon.

As mentioned before, they're two different options I think. Bersin just can't get that separation. That's the big difference in his downside.

Except for the special teams fumble, Bersin would be the golden haired boy
