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

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.

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.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
