strive_for_five_guy Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I remember watching him earlier in his career in GB and thinking “man, this guy just makes plays”. So glad we signed him and he’s definitely proven that wasn’t a fluke. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxum Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I agree on Hyde. Very intelligent and well spoken and unlike some ex-athletes who work in broadcasting does not sound like he is speaking with marbles in his mouth. He was my top free agent (a fan of Packers) and was advocating him being signed before free agency opened. Packers knew what that had with him but not what he could become. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Green Bay fans were sad to lose him. It was pretty well known that Hyde would be a good player. Poyer was the big surprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poyer was the big surprise. Bills had inside information for they signed a coach who had been with Browns previous year and could see what Poyer was capable of. Sometimes inside information was wrong as when Bills signed Zay Jones' WR coach from college and he said he was the most prepared for NFL WR he has seen.

I was pretty nervous going into the year with him as the starter. I was pretty confident and happy with Hyde. As for Zay Jones, he is doing pretty well now. Just took him awhile. But it goes to show that no draft pick is a 100% certainty. Doesn't matter what information you think you had.

Doesn't matter what information you think you had. The issue with Zay Jones was his college coach was not capable of raising his game. The coach has bounced between NFL and college and never established himself. When Coach McD was building his staff there were slim pickings and he should have kept SOME of Rex's staff for a year.

Iirc he got hurt and didn't finish the season(I think against us). Every game I was like who is 21 he's everywhere 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad we signed him and he’s definitely proven that wasn’t a fluke. A lot of fans myself included loved his acquisition in 2017. He was the only real "big name" signing that off-season for the Bills who seemingly only signed him, a kicker in Haush, and some no named safety named Poyer. Obviously, we didn't know what they had in Poyer and the overall strategy of staying mostly flexible in the coming seasons until a QB was in place. But Hyde was the acquisition that all of the fans loved, hoping he has one more good season in him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 He is arguably the best safety in football and unfortunately he won’t get to play next year with his sidekick but I have no doubt he will be just fine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxum Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Stats if you wish to compare Poyer's and Hyde's careers so far. https://stathead.com/football/pcm_finder.cgi?player_id2=HydeMi00&player_id1=PoyeJo00&sum=0&request=1&utm_campaign=2023_01_wdgt_player_comparison&utm_source=pfr&utm_medium=sr_xsite&utm_id=PoyeJo00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Hyde was a huge loss when he went out. More than Von Miller imo. His ability to run the complicated defensive scheme was invaluable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living here in Cleveland, I remember watching Poyer and he was a solid player but he really blossomed after joining the Bills. Kind of our equalizer for Wyatt Teller.
