Should we pump the breaks on the Byrd enthusiasm just a bit?

[Jeremy Igo]

Listen, I am just as excited as anyone about his prospects. I think he could end up contributing this year. 

 

But... should we have any caution in our unbridled optimism? Or shall we instead throw that same caution to the wind and rock out with out cocks out? 

 

I am on the fence here. Let me know.

I doubt he ever puts up those numbers in the regular season. To many receiving options  ahead of him and the coaching staff is too loyal to a fault

This. I believe he has the potential to be something Ginn wasn't but is he actually going to receive adequate opportunities to showcase.

Def pump the breaks bc it was just a preseason game. I hope he breaks out bc someone is going to have to be a relevant receiving option other than Benjamin and Olson. I can't wait to see Samuel on the field.

Cam rarely looks beyond his first 2-3 reads, so he won't get many looks from Cam's way and I don't see Shula designing anything just for Byrd.

He can ball, but he's not going to be producing much if at all.

If Run CMC is on the field, it gives any offensive player a better chance.

[KillerKat]

It's just good to have another option in case of injuries.

I always ROWCO but I'm not totally convinced Byrd has jumped to that level just yet. Optimistic though. 

[Steve_Smith_Sr.]

My cock is out for Byrd.

Sure be excited....it is the preseason and everything should be fun. Hoping for a lot of weapons this year.  Let other teams try to figure out who to worry about.

Not foolish to be optimistic. Byrd is a deep threat, probably the fastest WR, and with more reliable hands than Ginn. Say what you want, but Cam has one of the strongest arms in the league and he likes to take shots downfield.

Valid point. 

He certainly isn't shy about airing it out.
