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.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      First of all the out was not caught because XL slipped and was the only person who could have caught that ball.  I'm not sure where you get that it was almost intercepted but go ahead and believe your story. The kick was in the direction we wanted the ball from the opening kickoff.  Do you think Fitzpatrick didn't try several kicks in that direction before the game and after half?  Do you think we just winged it.  Come on, OK so he missed one earlier.  Kickers can't adjust.  You make it sound like it was a wing and a pray. I saw the game.  Yes and we still got 21 yard from the running game.  We also got two first downs via that pass.  So it isn't like it was 100% we were going to run.   You have your blinders on and hate BY so much that you can't give him any credit because it defeats your narrative that he completely sucks.   What I have yet to here is you 100% for sure solution.  Which QB are you going to bring in that GUARANTEES that he'll be better than BY.  See the difference between you and me is I understand that he isn't the greatest QB to play the game.   But he has strengths and he continues to win whether you like it or not.  You and I have been on this forum for many years and agreed and disagreed on many topics.  I don't think I have ever seen you so filled with so much hatred for a player than BY.   I'm just going to leave it here to agree to disagree because you aren't going to change my outlook and I definitely am not going to change yours.  I do appreciate no personal attacks.  Someone said it earlier.  Ride with our game manager until a Mahomes falls into our laps.

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      The key difference being expectation. Jake was basically an afterthought of a free agent signing. Bryce is a guy we mortgaged the franchise on to be THE GUY. Not to mention a different era of football before all the rule changes to benefit the passing game. I don't care how we win either. I just realize that the odds of continuing to win in today's NFL with this level of QB play are very low. If I knew for sure that the Panthers had already decided to pursue other options at QB this off-season I could breathe a sigh of relief but of course they're not going to say that publicly.
