BYRD

I think you will see a lot more of Byrd from here on out!

That's a no brainer!

Just my two cents worth!!

I wish Steve was around to teach him. I see a few similarities. Steve is a little more athletic and can move his body in crazy ways to avoid tackles. Route running from Steve could have helped Byrd a lot I think

Smith played like he was 7’0” too. Byrd hasn’t had the opportunity yet but not sure many could replicate Smittys tenacity. Who else you know that could break his arm on a defender and waltz his way into the endzone lol? The dude was a once in a generation kind of guy.

I feel weird saying this but I'd like to see 3 WR sets with Funch, Byrd, and Bersin. Funch as the X, Byrd in Ginn's role, and Bersin as a very poor man's Cotchery.

....Come on Jangler...cant believe u didnt go here...

Haha ppl where bashing me when I said Byrd was better than Shepard or Duke 

[Darvinsun]

Bryd has been decent for 2 seasons..this coaching staff is just so slow as to when to give guys opportunities..CAP is another casualty of this coaching staff..Shephard is the 4th wr behind Bersin. Clay needs better hands.Byrd has been my man since he got here. SEC in its finest.  LOL...

I told y'all that Byrd has the "it" factor even before 1st preseason game this year. Underrated swag, elite quickness and speed. Plus his hands way more reliable than Ginn. Extend him and next season; Funch (extend) #1, CS #2, Byrd #3/4 (extend), draft or pick up Taylor Gabriel (if the price is right) #3/4 (I want nasty badass speed). Shep vs Bersin at camp for #5. We need to draft a top tier TE for Olsen groom heir aka Troy or Andrews.

HB: Jstew (last yr) CMC 

FB/Hybrid: Armah, Dickson

TE: Olsen, Troy/Andrews, Manhertz

WR: Funch, CS, Byrd, Gabriel, Bersin

Not just giving guys opportunities, but recognizing talent. What did they see in Shephard I dont know. I dont care about practice if you disappear during games. Shep couldn't even catch a bobbled pass off the hands of another player. He dropped the easiest ball in his nfl career against vikes.

Going to be a ERFA this off-season. Should be interesting to see what happens if he continues to play well

No, people were bashing you for salivating over Fred Ross.

[ecu88]

I prob was first to really push Byrd over Clay plus anyone else.

lol thats who it was, I couldnt even remember his name

Byrd gets a chance, shows up. All he wanted.

[DaveThePanther2008]

Small in stature and an amazing vertical leap.  Can't help but think of SS.  If Byrd has that chip Smitty did who knows if we don't eventually see Byrd replicate some of the things Smitty did.
