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.

    • I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.
    • Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.     
    • With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
