Byrd has joined a different flock


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

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.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
