Adam727 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Is this a list of single best years or is this cumulative year to year? Weird to see Byrd over Allen, but Byrd did have one year for the Bills where I remember he played out of his mind. Something like an interception a game for 8 or 9 games or something insane.

BuffaloBillyG Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I forgot Cordy Glenn even existed. Good player in his day though. And people forget how good Byrd was early in his playing days. Shame he fell off due to (I believe) the foot issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two, it's position based rankings, compared to peers. Overall a QB is more valuable and influential to a team's success than a safety.

We seemed to have a lot of players like that in the drought era. Guys who would play really well for a bit and get us excited, but not live up to it later after we pay them.

Guys who would play really well for a bit and get us excited, but not live up to it later after we pay them. Disagree. His rookie year he was splendid. Had a couple of solid years in years 2 and 3. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me he will always be known as a vital part of the trade tree that got us the pick for Allen. Solid player. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty much on his last legs when they traded him to the Bengals to move from 21 to 12 (making him worth a mid-2nd rounder). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) I always thought Byrd was overrated. Often out of position. The picks seemed more a function of luck than superior play’ Good to see the other top 5 spots are held by current Bills.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Off the top of my head I would have thought Mario Williams, Tre White, and Lee Evans would be on this list. Evans in 2006 had 82 catches for nearly 1300 yards, 8 TDs, and a 15.8 YPC. Williams in 2013 had 13 sacks and followed it up in 2014 with 14.5 sacks. White made All-Pro in 2019 and had 6 picks with a ridiculous QB rating against of less than 40 for the entire season. Byrd was good but this season by White was superior. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I would have thought the list would have more current Bills, seeing as the team is way better than it's ever been in the 21st century. 4 guys isn't a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Jairus Byrd's Buffalo Bills career was bolstered by being in the wrong place at the right time. Doesn't belong in the top 50. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted June 19, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't belong in the top 50. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
