As of right now, he still isn't. What gives?!

Here's your opportunity to do something productive. Petition the league to get our new star on the ballot asafp.

I'm sure it will be fixed soon, and if not, he can be written in. But I doubt there are enough fans to make a dent.

They probably read the thread here after the Bills drafted him.

In years past they had a write in option, I haven't looked at this year's ballot to see if there is one but you might want to try looking again and see if there's said option and fill out Byrd's name.

They probably were developed (and printed--not everything is done via the internet) before Byrd became a huge impact player.

He's not on the ballot because by the time the ballot's were made out he wasn't a starter, was a rookie and an unknown.

He won't be on the ballot til next year.

I knew the answers guys I'm trying to get people excited about something positive over the bye week. Scott and Whitner are the bills saftey options. That should be changed immediately, while we're on a bye and can't possibly lose.

Scott and Whitner aren't huge problems they're just not playmaker stars. We need to worry more about the front 7, the OTs and the QB.

that has nothing to do with it. Scott and Whitner are both on the ballot as safeties.

I don't care when they wrote it, he needs to be on there, anything less than that is an atrocity because he deserves to be in the pro bowl hands down.

Don't the players get to choose players too? I'm sure he will be one of those picked

They probably were developed (and printed--not everything is done via the internet) before Byrd became a huge impact player.Generally speaking, the NFL is not terribly quick to pick up on a rapidly emerging star. Back when Adrian Peterson was a rookie, he had the advantage of having been one of the top stars in college ball and being drafted high in round one. Then, he started games right out of the gate and immediately established a per game rushing yardage pace that guaranteed him a spot in the all time single season rankings. Byrd was less well known in college and barely got on the field in the first couple games of the season, and didn't really start having an impact until the last 4 games. Unless he suffers a season ending injury early in 2010, Byrd will almost certainly be on the ballot next season.
