aristocrat Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 http://sports.gather...281474981713596 Could the Oakland Raiders get Jarius Byrd ? they would probably give us a first rounder so i'd take it they would probably give us a first rounder so i'd take it if we could walk with a qb and lb in first round next year we would look much better

Storm Front Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 He has had a couple timely picks this season, but he is not really all that good. Last season, he was terrible. Plus, he is somewhat injury prone. We are going to bottom out again soon, so I say trade him!
5 Wide Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Not sure about the credibility there.... fitz isn't struggling because he is lacking quality targets and I would never trade Byrd for a WR Hell, I just wouldn't trade Byrd at all.
boyst Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 These sites are no different then bleacher report.
Big C Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I don't want to trade Byrd either, but for a first rounder? I'd have to think about it. These sites are no different then bleacher report. This is true though.
Billy in 4C Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 The season is over and Byrd is gone at the end of the season. If you don't think you can sign him and don't want to use the franchise tag - trade him.
MDH Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 It's the same guy who wrote both articles. Who is Robert Lambert and why is he fascinated with the idea of a team trading for Byrd?
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Raiders have lots of speedy wr's that get open deep. Seems like a perfect compliment to the offense and the QB. Everything... Everything done transactionaly from this point on needs to be about getting a real qb.

CodeMonkey Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Deep??? WR??? Have you seen a game in the last several years? What QB is throing deep on our team? VY ... oh wait
Big Hurt Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 In general, I am against trading our decent players for draft picks. We should always try to keep our own good players because how many corners have we drafted in first round? We are still trying to replace Nate Clements. Good players is hard to come by. You can spend $100M but still doesn't guarantee you will get an impact free agent. We as fans should be careful when we say trade this guy, trade that guy.
GG Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I think we should dump Byrd and look for a mediocre WR and convert him to safety as a replacement. Worked before.
auburnbillsbacker Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 they would probably give us a first rounder so i'd take it if we could walk with a qb and lb in first round next year we would look much better I don't think the bills could get a first round pick for a guy who will be a free agent at the end of the year. The days of the raiders giving out first round picks is over. I bet they could get a 3rd, but I would rather they keep him and place the franchise tag on him. The franchise tag is very reasonable for a safety.
bowery4 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Byrd a lone bright spot for Bills NFL-worst defense says it all. Who is this clown anyhow?
filthymcnasty08 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Nice - we'll run him out of town and get to watch his career flourish elsewhere....that's never happened before!!!
Never NEVER Give-up Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 If they trade Byrd, I'd be ticked. Buddy has said many, many times, you draft your own, you develop them, you keep your own and add in FA's occasionally as they don't always pan out (see M. Williams!! (thus far)). Byrd is a high character player who in year one showed us he had a nose for the ball but couldn't tackle. He worked on that and has shown he is a very good all around safety, still a ballhawk and now a great tackler and supports run defense too - approaching pro bowler level. I have no idea what the problem is on the defense, it's definitely NOT one guy. If I hear one more guy say the problem with the run-D is our "FITS" . . . I'll scream. These guys are missing their assignments on so many plays to the point this defense will go down in NFL history as the worst ever????? UnBilleveable! With players like our front 4 and the DB's (who I believe are pretty good) - I just don't understand. I do believe our LB's suck. If I understand Wanny's D at all, the DL are supposed to pressure the QB (though they do not do so consistently) and the LB's are supposed to make the tackles - and they aren't, they are falling to the DB's. We need some serious LB's, Barnett is a #3, yet the Bills act like he's a #1, he may be better - but it would require a couple of other studs out there with them.
DaGimp Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 i don't want the fools in this front office picking what they consider to be a Franchise QB and i don't want to have this joke of a coaching staff develop that QB!
