Bye, bye Byrdie...

[Bill Lee]

We hardly knew ya...

 

[oldrover]

That sucks. I liked that guy.

 

[Simpelton]

decent wideout but ultimately replaceable

 

[NormZauchin]

Coming off career highs with Cam at quarterback, the Bears must think he's a thousand yard receiver.

You know that the post draft news lull is upon us when Bryd signing elsewhere gets its own thread.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Time for Tre Nixon to become an all time binkie and overtake slug NKeal Harry. Meyers + Nixon + Gunner in 2025 !!

It's either this, or discuss BB's marital status or Aaron Rodgers's sexual orientation.

Gotta do something till training camp starts...

Someone can always start threads like, "Will Mac Jones win more than six Super Bowls with the Patriots?"

if bird put up those #s last year and they made the playoffs he would have been one of the best FA wr signings in the last 10 years....that's saying more about how bad the receiver sightings have been unless about Byrd as a player

He did a hell of a lot more than NKeal Harry, that’s for sure. Best of luck to him.

A year ago there was a thread asking the question (I'll paraphrase), 'which player will exceed expectations'?

My response at that time was Byrd, and it was based on the premise that opposing defenses would be stacking their players near the line of scrimmage - and that he would be the lone/primary deep threat able to exploit that strategy.

I was partially correct, but not in a good way. Cam and the tight ends were worse than I anticipated, as was Harry. Byrd was indeed the necessary speed receiver, but the other thing I didn't expect was Meyers becoming the Pats leading receiver.

Prior to free agency I figured the Pats would re-sign Byrd, but once they made the other moves it made little sense. Even with Edelman's retirement he would still only be #6 on the current WR depth chart.


Thanks for the 47 receptions for 604 yards, the season would have been even more abysmal without him here last year. Time to move on.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

I think Cam hurt the receiver more than the receiver hurt Cam. I liked Byrd. I would take Byrd over Harry everyday of the week

The Einstein's in the league office figured that out and that's why the schedule rollout is now in May.

It's surprising there is no thread on when everyone expects Tampa to come to town.

Figuratively or literally?

If literally, that's great posting.

It's for science

Which one?

That sounds like a good excuse to post an Ann Margret video….
