I do like him but where does he fit in? KB, Funchess, Sheppard, Samuel (if healthy), Bersin. It's a  random preseason game. Guys will make plays. To say he takes over as the #1 receiver that Ginn was (at least I think he was) is a stretch. 

I honestly believe Byrd can be a number 3 WR if given a honest chance.

But that's been my opinion for a long time, not just after seeing him do what he's doing tonight. He isn't surprising me tonight he's finally just getting a chance.

Byrd needs to make the team. I'll take him over bersin any day of the week

Just be happy he's gonna earn a paycheck

Guys will make plays? He's making a ton of plays

Was actually more impressed with the redzone TD. We already new he could run fast and get open deep. He will need to be able to run other routes besides go-routes and deep posts to play. I hope we continue to see him succeeding with different looks.

Remember that one dude on here who has never been to camp but Was still trying to argue that Byrd "doesn't have it"? Never watched a single play in person, but still acted like he knew more than others who had. Yeah....he should delete his account.

Well right now people are arguing that Shepard's a scrub just because he didn't do much tonight, even though training camp showed otherwise. 

Huddle gonna Huddle.

Bersin's not making the team over Byrd.

Why? He gets a lot of hate around here but he's paid his dues and there isn't a receiver on this team that has Cam's trust more than Bersin. Tell me one receiver that has been with Cam longer? Sorry but that goes a long way.

Bersin can't play the Ginn role.

If Bersin's on the team we have no deep threat besides Shepard and an injury prone Samuel. Bersin doesn't help stretch the field or do anything better.

Right now, Byrd is turning heads tonight. Could've had 3 possible touchdowns and pushing 100 yards so far. I think he'll make it over Bersin.

You can't suggest cutting him with a straight face at this point.

And he might...that's up to the coaching staff to decide. I'm not saying Bersin > than Byrd. Depends on need but Bersin has been a reliable target for Cam whether people like it or not. He's not flashy but he can play any WR position. He's done everything he needed to be part of this team / league. Once again, I like Byrd and probably more than most.

I think Bersin's fine too, but I don't know if he's a piece we need for this offense. I think Shepard, CMC, and Samuel (when healthy) make up for Cam's lack of reliable options last year. We need more deep threats imo.
