Byrd has joined a different flock

I think he would've stuck if not for all the injuries, I still think we could stand to add a returner to the roster, as it is - Barner, and Byrd are now gone. Prior to them over the last two seasons -- CMC / Samuel / Moore have handled KR/PR duties. 

Considering their roles on offense I don't see any of them as a viable option. So to me the question is who will we bring in to fill that role, injuries aside, Byrd was probably the best returner we had dating back to Smith. Pilares, and Philly or Corey, or back to Philly as honorable mentions since each notched a return TD during their time.

He'll be best remembered here for having a narrow ass.

Byrd probably shouldn't be remembered as a bust. He made contributions, just not as much as everyone was hoping for.

Nothing against him, but he was never going to be as good as we all hoped he could be.

Every team has guys like that.

I never call an undrafted free agent a bust.  Any contribution from them is just a bonus.  Norwell was amazing.

Exactly! Byrd if anything was a (+) player considering the investment, and it's easy to forget he was getting regular reps at receiver in 2017 (the 11-5 season) and was looking solid until he broke his forearm vs the Patriots, then came back had the great Packers game, and then got hurt vs TB before the playoffs. 

He was just a combination of ''not durable enough'' and ''unlucky'' with some of the hits he took.

Yeah I don’t think any player that’s not taken in the first 3-4 rounds of the draft can be considered a bust.

    • The thing I hate about strength of schedule is that NFL teams change so much over a year and past success or failure doesn't really dictate future success or failure
    • Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉
    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.
