Byrd's role?


Bronn

Recommended Posts

What are everyone's thoughts on Damiere's role moving forward?

Does he immediately step in as #2 or #3 opposite Funchess or Funchess/Shep? I have to say I've been really unimpressed with Shepard. He's a JAG out there if not worse IMHO.

Is he WR #4 for now and will only feature in 4 wide sets?

Do we activate Bersin this week and roll with 6WR or does he get deactivated?

I'm looking for a sneaky pickup for my bench at WR in fantasy football, and had the thought that maybe Byrd comes back with a vengeance these last few games...

Obviously he and Clay share a similar skill set, but I think Byrd has better hands and routes.

I've never really been on the Byrd bandwagon, but I see a situation where a guy like him could come in and make some noise.

He can't do any worse than zero catches for zero yards which was last week's stat line for every WR we have not named Devin Funchess.

Yeah, its kind of a crap shoot.  We have several guys with speed, but speed is meaningless if you can't get open and catch the ball. Might as well throw him in the mix.

Byrd = Samuel

At this moment they should be about equal Samuel has the juice he just needs to get some nfl training in. Bryd beefed up already hope he can contribute this week.

This is ignorant straight up.

Samuel had more catches in one game than Byrd has his entire career.  I hope he shows something when he comes back, but so far, he hasn't. 

He hadn't but you have to take into account Cam with Byrd actually playing has had KB and Olsen & Fun last year and this year KB and Fun ahead of him getting most of the targets along with CMC this year there while he was active there really hasn't been a place for him in a Shula offense. Now that the lines been gelling and we actually need his production now would be the great judgement of what he has to offer. He's gained the weight last few years been in the system and has speed now we'll see if he has football moxy.

Going to be featured in end arounds

I think Clay might have better wheels than Byrd for those 

you ride guys that have shown as well.  Clay got some confidence going.  That means something in this sport

    • 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
