Byrd never scored a TD. Here are his career stats...http://www.nfl.com/player/damierebyrd/2553499/careerstats

1 catch for 16yds and 0TD's. To me, that and the fact that he's been here for 2 years already is the extent of his lead on Clay. That is next to nothing, IMO.

Just FTR, here are Clay's return stats from last year as a Raven...http://www.nfl.com/player/kaelinclay/2552651/careerstats

He has returned punts and kicks in real games and did it pretty well with 0 fumbles.

Did byrd not score 1 td against tampa when he played and got hurt or am i imagining things...ok Clay if he is so good why is he not with ravens its not like the ravens are lighting things up with the wr group they have... hell i did not know clay had played in a reg season game...so he is another ginn

I don't know why you keep bringing up Ted Ginn. He was a 1st round draft pick who was given every opportunity to the the #1WR. Byrd and Clay are in a completely different category of player. Whichever one makes it, or both of them, will be on the bottom of the depth chart and their real  value will be as ST'ers. To me, that gives Clay the edge because he's a better returner. If either one of them line up at WR in a regular season game, we're probably in trouble anyway.

I just like byrd. I believe they are of the same skill set.. Byrd has put in the work and should be given a legit opportunity  to display what he can do...if not they should let him go before his youth is wasted on practice squad somebody xan use him... its not fair to tell a player to work hard and show me in practice and preseason you are capable and you do that and somebody else does nothing in game but is still kept and plays in season games....Play the man or let someone else play him.

Also of note: Kaelin Clay was an All-American return specialist at Utah. Seems relevant.

History is good but we have a horrible special teams the last few years and so far both players have been even this preseason working with the same units. Nothing horrible but nothing special. I want both don't get me wrong but Byrd shows me better routes, hands, and speed imo.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
