Captain Hindsight Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Actually, Byrd puts who on the bench....Jim Leonard.....small slow guy who is directing traffic out there because he knows the Defense.......replace with Byrd who has never played a down with this D. Or, do you put A Williams on the bench, who is playing out of his skull right now. Not sure we get an improvement right away.......might be more talented physically if Leonard sits.......but, maybe not as savy. After all, Leonard only has two picks so far, just like Williams. Just sayin...... Nothing against Leonard. He is a good player, but Byrd is far more talented and can make all the calls I'm sure.
Nuncha Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Hopefully this means he is very close to being traded....
Helpmenow Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Lets see their winning some games, maybe its time for me to play, right #31
26CornerBlitz Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) The cynic in me says Byrd is willing to play 3/4 of a season for his $6.9 million Franchise Tag price since he didn't get his full market value set by Parker. Edited October 2, 2013 by 26CornerBlitz
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Byrd told Kiko he had PF and Kiko said, no you don't. And he didn't. Oops wrong thread!
boyst Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 If...Byrd is going to play then he is going to get significantly more snaps then previous posters have mentioned. He is among the best players we have, if not the best. Lets remove the contract situation from this a moment. How would we be looking at this if he was already paid? Would it be just like Mario Williams? Alright, probably so. Lets say he plays at Mario's 2012 - we'd be less then thrilled right? Would it be any better trading his talent for a 2nd round? I do not think we would get a 1st round - but we could. For this, lets just say 2nd round. Lets go Byrd! Fly!
filthymcnasty08 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 One of those "National TV" miracles......................I guess. . this
mrags Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I too want Byrd on the field JBoyst. And I've been one of the biggest doubters of him all year. Fly baby!!!
26CornerBlitz Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 buffalobills #Bills S Jairus Byrd getting closer to return http://ow.ly/ppdke
rayray808 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 put Byrd in, hopefully he plays well and his trade value goes up... trade him... move on
KD in CA Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 The only Byrd worth talking about has 2 RBI for the Pirates tonight.
BuffaloBob Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 do we want Byrd back there? is he going to be at full speed? is it going to take him a few quarters to shake the rust off? I feel like with the way Leonhard and Searcy have been playing, Byrd has become expendable. trade him for a 2nd round pick! Exactly which team is going to trade a 2nd round pick for a guy they can only be certain to have for the rest of this season only? If...Byrd is going to play then he is going to get significantly more snaps then previous posters have mentioned. He is among the best players we have, if not the best. Lets remove the contract situation from this a moment. How would we be looking at this if he was already paid? Would it be just like Mario Williams? Alright, probably so. Lets say he plays at Mario's 2012 - we'd be less then thrilled right? Would it be any better trading his talent for a 2nd round? I do not think we would get a 1st round - but we could. For this, lets just say 2nd round. Lets go Byrd! Fly! Are you high or just delusional? What GM in his right mind is trading a 1st, 2nd or even a 3rd round draft pick for a guy they are not guaranteed to have beyond the rest of this season?? How do you explain it to your fan base when next year's draft comes around and your missing a high draft pick for a guy that's moved on to another team for bigger bucks or a better chance to earn a ring? Yeah, I'm sure the league will be knocking themselves out to offer up that kind of draft pick compensation.
Tcali Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 the trade byrd stuff needs to stop. winning teams have playmakers. winning organizations have playmakers. Bills have had woefully few the past 13 yrs.
brucethomas34 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Byrd was considered a full participant at practice today for the first time this year. Does that mean he will suit up on Thursday night? Would be nice if he played nice then we can trade him for a draft pick.
John Belucheese Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I hope he does well against the Browns. A few interceptions, game winning pick 6, 7 solos and a sack. Then on monday send his possum ass to Jacksonville!
PromoTheRobot Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Did anyone hear Byrd's quotes to Chris Brown? "Yeah, in a few weeks I might be up to day-to-day." Gee, really? PTR
NewEra Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 If he's healthy and can play, he starts. He's better than the rest of our options at FS. He's a very good player, regardless of how some people feel about him now.
Dragonborn10 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Trade stuff with Byrd needs to stop. Jacksonville just gave up on a 26 year old franchise LT and in return got a couple of mid-round draft picks. There is no value unless he was already signed to a long term contract. I am fairly certain they can not trade him and have him sign a long term deal with new team at the same time. If Byrd plays this week it is in three safety packages with Searcy and Leonhard. A. Williams plays CB even if McKelvin is back. If McKelvin is healthy Rogers sits thank god. The big dilemma is what happens when Byrd, Gilmore, Williams, and McKelvin are all healthy. Who plays SS? Who plays FS? Who is the nickel/slot DB?
Prickly Pete Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Let's just wait and see how he plays. If he has an impactful season, then he is cool with me. If he doesn't, then I will question his ethics.
