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.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
