TJ Logan reminds me of Willie Parker. Could be one of those diamonds in the rough.

Lose him to the pats? Lmfao. He was cut. No one picked him up. That's why he's back. Holy cow

Taking my statement too literally with regards to the Pats. My point is why wouldn't you play a young WR with world class speed and has shown that he has good hands when your starters are obviously struggling to get open? Particularly when you're out of playoff contention anyway? Was it so he could be released and come back because no one would have film on him, or because he might make fans question your ability to evaluate talent?

He's just another guy (JAG) on the practice squad.

There's always some fringe roster guy that the Huddle develops a crush on. Used to be Swole Bones, now it's Byrd.

I think the most logical answer to your question is that he simply wasn't good enough. Our WRs sucked last year. If we thought that guy could've helped we would've put him out there. When a guy tests as well athletically as Byrd did and he goes undrafted, it's usually because he's simply not very good at football.

Very possible. But guys go undrafted all the time and end up being studs in the NFL. A lot of players don't get a chance because they were undrafted. It's politics and a numbers game and the guy with a 1st - 4th round contract usually wins out over a guy without one. 

All I'm saying is I didn't see any reason not to give the kid some run late in the season. Every time he was on the field, he looked like he belonged. Would have liked to see him take more of Ginn/Philly/Bersin plays. KB and Funchess need to develop.

And you're probably right. But he's a really fast JAG. Gotta be able to find a role for a guy with that kind of speed, unless he just has no football skill at all.

There are plenty of fast guy and faster guys than Byrd who can't do poo in the NFL. 

Brandon Williams was so fast.  It just that, he's bigger than the HULK. What happened?

Taywan Taylor is another, getting comparisons to Diggs. Shelton Gibson, getting Corey Coleman comparisons.
We need to get a WR with that comp or 4th. This draft is deep as some good slot wr options
 

Totally agree, Carlos Henderson, Taywan Taylor, there are a few WR's that are slot guys that could develop into outside receivers because of speed and separation skills. I would love one of these guys later in the draft.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
