Coaches need to tell Lee that he needs to tackle after he throws an INT. Maybe he wouldn't have so many PICK 6's.

Well he was talking to players and WRs on TV, so you must not have been watching. Were you drinking?

Maybe while on the field, but he was a loner on the sidelines. Barely spoke with coaches. I just found it odd, that's all, and no, wasn't drinking...much.

Byrd flipped out after one of the series and was talking to chris mitchell and JJ. He also yelled something at lee before slamming down on the bench. The receivers seem to not have any faith in him and are getting fed up with him.

It isn't the lack of a seasoned qb that's costing Byrd the bucks. Its Byrd's inability to hold onto the football when its actually catchable. No catch = no money

Noticed this. Amazing that almost every other QB runs and gives a jump touch or high five or head butt with their receiver or back after a td, while Lee just runs to the sidelines.

This is dumb

Of course you should a leader, QB is the back bone of the team

do think Sam Bradford is afraid of talking to his senior WRs

Numbers aren't everything that NFL scouts look at. They also tend to pay attention to "what did you do with the talent that was playing around you?" Right now, Byrd isn't helping himself. Lee certainly isn't helping him any, but Byrd has to start catching the football if he wants to see the big bucks.

Wrong. If Byrd has high draft round potential the NFL already knows it and evaluates the whole picture. His pre-draft workout and performance in the Senior Bowl or other All star games if selected will be the final determinant.

He is more likely to drop in the draft by pouting and blaming his teammmates when things don't go the way he would like.

Is this sarcasm?

The only thing that costs future pro athletes money is being shorter, smaller, slower, more injured, or having more arrests than the guy at the same position who gets picked before that particular future pro. There's this thing called the combine. It's where all of our players run .3 seconds slower 40 times than when they came out of high school. Under your analysis, guys like Colston, Moss, T.O., Jerry Rice, and Walter Payton would never have been drafted. You think anyone at the draft ever paid a bit of attention to stats from Hofstra or MS Valley St?

Plus, hasn't Lee thrown more TD's to Byrd than anyone else on the team?

Not true. Byrd will only lose those millions if he does not perform well at the combine or private NFL team workouts.

Byrd's attitiude is costing him money. He was great last year, but when the chips are down and everthing is not going great he has shown a lack of leadership.

the combine can only get you so far. the NFL wants to see what you do on the field too. they cant make a good evaluation if the WR only has 35receptions for the season.

not for Bowe's on the field production, he wouldnt had been the #3 WR drafted.
