I’m sorry, but bird just sucks. And I don’t know why the writers thought it was a good idea to keep rewarding him just to be carried by 2 actual pros every-time he loses. I mean they even made him the leader of the group for some reason. And I understand, he is going against other pros and he is basically still an amateur. But still, when do they plan on giving him some development? The final episode where bird could possibly battle chrome ryugu? So all of the L’s he is taking leads up to that final episode where he might actually win? That would be horrible writing and I hope the writers don’t plan on doing that.

Continue to spread your imaginary wings you don’t have, and attempt to fly on top of a high surface only to find yourself in a deep abyss.

I tried to be patient with bird and have faith they would actually tell a good story with him but literally he just loses and hasn’t even begin to progress!
How is he supposed to develop as a character if he keeps losing! Unless the do something drastic or actually fix his character I really hope mid way the take him out of the spotlight and just leave it to Multi and Kamen to people who are pros and actually know how to blade.

I don't think it'll take that long for Bird to get a proper win. Like, Yugioh 5ds did it, and it proved that waiting that long would still technically be satisfying, but at what cost? However, I can still empathize with you. It's fair to say they're dragging his losing streak on, and the development resulting from it has been like 50/50 so far. The thing is, Bird's character arc is one where you need to see the conclusion for it to be properly judged as a whole. A year from now, everyone will probably either talk about how Bird was the goat or fraud from day 1, but in reality, that's impossible to see right now.

Ngl you might be out of line, but you're completely right. I genuinely think the ideal character arc for Bird, rather than being a cookie-cutter hero's journey, would be for him to fall into the "weak" archetype of characters. I'd love for Bird to come to terms with his weakness and use that to shape who he truly is, someone who can't reach the same heights as everyone else. Especially since practically everyone around him is insanely skilled and he's just a normal person, they could pull a "blame this on the misfortune of your birth" type thing. They've already kinda tapped into this with Bird wanting to beat Kadovar in a proper fight, and his fight VS Multi, but I hope they commit.

All of these ideas are haphazard, and I don't think they all directly go together perfectly, but seeing these implemented into the story would result in a version of it that utilizes its fullest potential imo (at this moment in time).

But how would Bird embracing that he’s weak make him a better blader? It’s not like he can satisfyingly fulfill his dream by riding on the coattails of others.

I'm assuming that Bird will never become stronger than his rivals, just because of circumstances. This is probably a giant stretch, but I do find the idea interesting, because as you said, he wouldn't be able to satisfactorily fulfill his dreams this way, creating an interesting character dilemma.
Multiple different conclusions could be drawn from that assessment, and I think any one of those, rather than one made by him just wanting to be stronger normally, would be more interesting. As an example, maybe he realizes that he'll have to rely on others his entire career if he continues how he is now, so he decides to cast everyone, friends and rivals alike, aside. Or maybe he completely gives up on trying to actually become stronger than others, but just for the sake of simply defeating them, as a way of emulating his dream of actually surpassing everyone else.
These are the ideas I was trying to get at with my post.

Maybe he could use strategy to defeat opponents that overpower him. He was elected the leader after all, so I assume he has some intellect. And it seems better than him just being carried by others.
