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

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.

Cam has no problem spreading the ball around (see 2015 for proof). And it seemed to me that Shula already created some plays just for Byrd, hence his solid performance. If he can play, he will get his.

He has never got a shot during the season and getting in the rhythm. So we don't know the magnitude of his playmaking ability. but he for sure has it. It sounds silly because of the personality differences but he has a little Desean Jackson in him. His release and finding the ball in the air while fuging flying down the field in a difference maker. Not many people have his agility and speed. 

Im not a fan of him returning punts or kicks. I think he is strictly a WR.

      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.
