Damiere Byrd vs Kaelin Clay?

[MurkN]

Let's say you have to make the final decision on who makes the team and we can't keep both of them. Who would you take?

[TheSpecialJuan]

excellent question. Kaelin Clay would be my pick, he's just as fast and is a proven return man in this league. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Don't care. Doubt either would actually see the field. Probably wouldn't even get a jersey on game day.

I thought something might have clicked with Byrd in that first preseason game but them he pretty much disappeared again.

Byrd is the word

Is this really in question?  Dude makes one big play and he's just as good as bird.

[ItsPantone278]

I like both but Byrd ahead of Clay

[Mojoman]

Byrd-Man.  He has not caught almost everything catchable that has been thrown his way.  Clay has had better punt returns, but I believe Byrd can be just as good on punts.

He is should be receiver #2 or #3, not just #5.

You keep both at this point. The question should be Shepard or Bersin at this point and Shepard should take the spot due to special teams.

If we're smart we find a way to keep both..

He has been pretty solid when given the opportunity. His returns are superior to Byrd's.

The fact is, Byrd simply feasted on a Texans CB who played horrific defense.

Not that I don't like Byrd, but I suspect that if Clay got equal opportunities, he would have made more happen.

Have to go with Klay more valuable on special teams and can everything Byrd can do at receiver.

Really tough call.  I'd like to keep both somehow, even if that means the PS for one.  I voted Clay as I think he may have higher upside than Byrd. 

It's going to be very tough to keep 6 WR with our thinness at CB, S & DT.  Injuries at those positions may mean we carry 6 CBs or 5 DTs...

My final projection still had KB, Funch, Samuel, Shepard & Byrd as the top 5 receivers.  I wonder now though whether Clay is eligible for PS, and if he is, whether he'd be safe there.  I *think* Byrd might be safe on PS, but hard to say given that he scored several TDs (3?) in preseason.  So this could influence team to keep Clay and PS Byrd.

I expect Bersin to be either IRed, or cut and not picked up by another team, in which case, we will keep him on speed dial in case of injuries... and/or maybe hire him as some kind of assistant coach.

[Darvinsun]

I like them both. I say go 6wrs. We need speed which both provide. If KB goes down does anyone think Funchess can be the man... I hate that we drafted him so high..so he will be kept.. To me it should be between whether we keep Shephard, bersin or Funchess but funchess  will be kept because of draft place and youth.
