Was really good again the next two years and played very well his first year for the Saints. All in all after his first 5 years in Buffalo he was near the top of his position NFL wide. Not really that he didn't live up to it in New Orleans talent wise but he legitimately had a foot issue that slowed him big time. Expand I'm talking about Cordy Glenn, who was the topic of the post I quoted. Quote

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 Anyone know if the Byrd year was 2009 or 2012? Going off my memory I recall his 2012 season being a great year. I suspect that is the season he graded highest. Not his 9 interception rookie season. Quote

Doesn't belong in the top 50. Expand Exactly. That rookie year was uncanny. I remember plays where Byrd seemed lost. But then the ball would be deflected right to him. 9 picks his freshman year in the NFL and averaged 2/year for the rest of his career. I actually thought his skills got better in this 2nd and 3rd years. But his luck got worse. 1 Quote

And people forget how good Byrd was early in his playing days. Shame he fell off due to (I believe) the foot issue. Expand His most significant contribution was being traded to get us another 1st round pick to get JA 1 Quote
Freddie's Dead Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 No surprise that FredEx in on the list. He was the best player in the NFL in 2011 before he broke his leg. Quote

Guys who would play really well for a bit and get us excited, but not live up to it later after we pay them. Expand Cordy Glenn was underrated. He was very good for the Bills pre-diagnosis with Chrones. Quote

JerseyBills Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 Surprised Super Mario or Kyle Williams didn't make it. That front 4 of Mario-Dareus-Kyle-Hughes was amazing for a couple years I believe all 4 made the NFL top 100 list 1 year Quote

Expand Jarius Byrd was wildly overated, he was the lucky recipient of many bad QB throws, notbaly mark Sanchez. I think he got 3 of Sanchez in 1 year. All Byrd do was play center field safety, to his credit he did catch the balls. He didnt do much at all in New Orleans. 3 Quote

CSBill Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Seeing Jarius Bird at the top reminds me of another (some say, all-time) One-Hit wonder: Edited June 19, 2023 by CSBill Quote
