nucci Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I posted a video last year of Bradham outrunning him trying to tackle the Bucs' runningback. His speed is not elite. No, it's not but he is a very good tackler and does intercept the ball often enough
Fixxxer Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 No, it's not but he is a very good tackler and does intercept the ball often enough I'm not saying he isn't.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 how did i never hear about byrds speed as an issue over the last 5 years and suddenly ive heard about it 20 times in the last week People that knock Byrds speed are about as bright as those who knock Drew Brees height.
Fixxxer Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 People that knock Byrds speed are about as bright as those who knock Drew Brees height. Or maybe GMs that want elite speed won't find it in Byrd.
sodbuster Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 If the Browns really are a sure thing for whitner, as being reported, and Miami is just a smokescreen, that leaves Washington and st Louis as the most possible landing spots for Byrd, and their interest seems less than overwhelming. Heres to hoping Parker gets exposed tomorrow.
Prickly Pete Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I have him as my 3rd best Buffalo Bill safety behind George Saimes and Bill Simpson. I'd actually put Tony Green in the conversation as well. GO BILLS!!! I rate him at about the same level as Henry Jones (though not the same style player).
KOKBILLS Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 What would happen on this board if Byrd ends up coming back to Buffalo for less than the uber-contract he was expecting? Not saying it'll happen...just wondering aloud. If it does I think we should have a "Whaley Avatar Day" in honor of our GM... Because that would be pretty freaking awesome...

KOKBILLS Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 And now this... Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 5m Word is that Jairus Byrd's asking price has scared some teams off. He's looking for more than $8 million per year, and may well get it.
stony Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 how did i never hear about byrds speed as an issue over the last 5 years and suddenly ive heard about it 20 times in the last week The human mind is an amazing thing, or more specifically, the human mind of a Buffalo Bill's fan on the verge of being dumped. Kind of like remembering that ex-girlfriend who was pretty damn hot while convincing yourself she wasn't that special.

KOKBILLS Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 well, one would assume hed get that. less than 8m would be a major surprise for everyone, i think. That's exactly what I was thinking... If Byrd leaves and the contract ends up being in the $8 million range I think it's pretty clear he did not want to be in Buffalo...I can't imagine the Bills offered less...Especially if the AP report was accurate...
Nitro Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I am listening to WGR on line. The urge to drive 500 miles back home to Buffalo to put my foot up the back sides of Schop and Bulldog. Byrd, IMO, did not want to resign amount with Buffalo for any amount of money. I think he was disappointed by being drafted to Buffalo in the first place. He wants his big pay day and play for a winner. Good luck to him.

Sounds similar to Vanek and Miller having no interest in re-signing with the Sabres. The current state of Buffalo Sports Teams. Here's to better days.

If Byrd leaves and the contract ends up being in the $8 million range I think it's pretty clear he did not want to be in Buffalo...I can't imagine the Bills offered less...Especially if the AP report was accurate... yea, even if he leaves, i wouldnt be shocked if theres a little bit of fake money tagged on the end for the sake of "highest paid" even if its not expected to be earned and forces him to be a free agent after 3-4 years. ive been in the camp that suspects on the open market hed be around 10, but that the averages with what amounts to a team option year at the end would be a little higher than that -- and that possibly we were trying to get that year or two on the back end cheap to average out in the 9s even if it starts at 10m for a few years(and parker would rather one last crack at free agency before he signs off on a deal structured that way). youd have to think hed have a pretty good idea what would be on the table, given they were allowed to talk to other teams last year, and im sure spoke with other teams even at the combine.

Heres to hoping Parker gets exposed tomorrow. What would make it even better, is that Byrd turns around and fires Parker.
