Good riddance he's gone? The best blessing in disguise we've had in years? That's some cold and disrespectful shit for a guy who was an absolute professional and very productive for us for years.
I'm not saying Boyd's best days are ahead of him, they're likely not, but there's going to be a time when Higgins gets dinged up (he always does) and you're going to have Chase, a 3rd round rookie, and a 6th round pick with 116 career receiving yards out there at WR... or Chase, Irwin, Sample, and a TE who had 244 yards last year and 362 yards the year before.... and you should remember this thread then.
Also people acting like Boyd force's Zac's hand in offensive concepts as if the first 2 years of Zac without Chase he didn't do the exact same shit. Or the first year without Chase OR Higgins we didn't still run a primarily 3 WR offense with a combination of Boyd, Ross, A Tate, and Erickson despite that being a trashpile of a WR group. But sure, it's Boyd's fault and now we're free from his tyranny of dictating how Zac's offense will be.
Slander for saying it might be a blessing in disguise? Nah, loved Boyd when he was here and I thank him for being a damn good Receiver for us
but he could only play in the Slot with his lack of speed and he was dropping balls last year and even one that could of put us into the Playoffs.
No way his best days are ahead of him.
Both Burton and Charlie Jones have great hands from history just the same as Boyd before he started dropping balls. We will see.
Versatility is a great thing to have and to be able to use more motions and different looks should only help the team instead of having one player
locked into the Slot and the others locked into the outside. More to think about now. Live in the past if you want, Burton falling to the 3rd was a
bit of a surprise to most and only because of his poor character after a big game in college.
I think Jermaine Burton could be a #1 in the NFL with his talent, I could never say that about Tyler Boyd.
I guess now you could call it Boyd slander lmao!!!

It was more than a few snaps pretty sure, but yeah, the big plays out of the Slot for Chase stood out big time as they should.
Ja'Marr Chase is an absolute mismatch in the Slot against Slot Corners and Linebackers. They don't stand a chance with his quicks, speed,
strength, balance etc.
