I've seen enough. Hurney, do it.

Ever since he came on to the roster this defense has transformed. Especially the secondary. Week after week he's been getting better. Hurney just needs to extend Eric Reid already. Adams and Reid are a really good combination, paired with our young corners. If that pass rush was as consistent as The last two games.  This defense will be enough to get into the playoffs and possibly to the big game. 

 

Not sure about the $$$ but this guy needs to be retained.  He is still young and clearly talented. 

I'd hate to see him leave Carolina after,  not even a full year.

I agree 100%. Not sure the I’m no longer a Carolina fan base because we signed Reid crowd will like it tho. Seems the team likes him and he brings a chippiness to the secondary. He is one of our most athletic secondary players.

There's no excuse not to support him.  Political views aside. He's a panther and he's definitely doing work back there. He's brought attitude to that anemic secondary ans with Donte being full of swagger and confidence,  it's only solidified the secondary. We may not have an elite secondary but we certainly don't have chumps back there.  They are geling at the right time ans are only going to get better as they play together. Donte,  Adams, Reid, Bradberry  are becoming familiar with each other and are definitely feeding off each other. They are learning each others nuances that it is almost like they know where they will be at all times.  I'd hate to see that disappear within the next 6 months. Hurney needs to do it.

Agree on all counts.  Give the guy a deal.  I think they are probably waiting to see his impact on the locker room, and I have seen no evidence that he has been anything less than a good teammate.

 

Now that gets me to thinking--What do you do with Gaulden?  My thoughts are based on a lack of knowledge, but could he replace Munnerlyn as the nickel?  Played nickel in college....

I am liking our CBs right now....A lot. 

Point?  Could a SS be all we need to have a solid secondary?  They are not that hard to find.

Fans boo’ed him during his player introduction. I bet those clowns were out of their seats cheering for him when he got the interception and almost took it to the house 

I was at the game too. That’s exactly what I told my friend during introduction. “These people won’t be booing when Reid gets this pick 6.”  ...and I was right.

They absolutely were. I turned to my wife after his interception and said "they aren't booing him now" the same ones booing were jumping around like high school cheer leaders

Lock him up! Lock him up!

im talking about Eric Reid, not Donski of course. 

Signing him would hopefully cut some of the fat off the fanbase, as they just can’t stand to watch a militant take the field.

reid is an asset to this team and would solidify one of the safety positions and strengthen our secondary for years to come. It’s a no brainer honestly.

that crowd doesn't really exist.   I mean technically I guess there are some but it is too small of a number to even care about. 

reality is, there was virtually zero blow back big picture when we signed Reid.

    • He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about. 
    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
