thebandit27 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I am still trying to understand why the fans are angry with Byrd? What he and his agent get into with the front office is not really relevant. He seems to handle himself fine, and although his foot problem could be questioned, we (the fans) don't really know how injured he may have been. His teammates like him, he never gets into trouble, he plays really well, and he has never "disrespected" the fans or city. I think that a lot of people were miffed with Byrd for his comments about refusing to play until he's 100% healthy. It's football, and many of his teammates were out there, even early in the season, at less than 100% health.

The timing of that remark couldn't have been worse with Freddy playing with a ruptured spleen, Spiller with two lacerated kidneys, etc. The fact he played with the condition last season didn't help that statement, either. GO BILLS!!!

Prickly Pete Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I still consider that something between him and the FO. Never in trouble, plays really well, teammates like him. These are what matter to me. If every guy was like that, the team would be successful.
Owf71 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Byrd will fly away no way we pay him what he wants
NoSaint Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I'm sure there were...people are strange. I believe the majority of the folks on this board that are/were ticked with him came after the "100%"thing though. i remember a large group as far back as when he was missing OTAs. although those were likely the same people that wanted to cut lawson/branch for missing them for various reasons. then once he missed day one of camp, i think it was pretty close to divided along the same lines as the 100% comment saw. maybe a few switched over but once he missed a practice there was plenty of "hes ruining everything good we ever couldve dreamed of" sentiment.
