every team knew he could perform already when they weren't signing him. he was a pro bowl caliber safety, he wasn't sitting at home because he suddenly got bad.

Most teams didn't think his skill was worth the negative reactions they would receive by signing him by fans. Given the largely non story in Carolina may embolden other teams to consider signing him which will make him more desirable and his cost will likely rise. It was never about his ability although concussions and injuries did play a part.  The issue was signing him long term and my posts speak to the likelihood it may not be as easy as folks here think it will be.

Also he’s playing somewhat out of position. Granted he’s playing good now but imagine him replacing Adams and us getting a solid fs next to him with coverage skills, it’s a wrap

You said you "read it"....I have not but am eager to do so, so we can be sure we are discussing the same thing.  Please provide the link to where you "read it".

I don't think you can...

Watched the video. 

Explain your point.

Took you a while, didn't think you could.....and while it looks like only a partial transcript, we'll give some (partial) credit credit anyway.

So let's start here....Reid says:  " We didn’t have access to...home loans..."

Do you believe that to be an accurate statement? 

Here you go, boi.

"In “The Color of Law,” Richard Rothstein shows how and why this happened, and it wasn’t by accident. Blacks did not move into overcrowded slums as a matter of group preference. Nor was private racial discrimination by white developers, banks and homeowners’ associations exclusively to blame, though it was certainly a key factor. 

Rather, the federal government used its expanding power to promote apartheid-like separation of whites and blacks in cities and towns across the country.

When the U.S. housing market collapsed in the Great Depression, Washington took control and attempted to revive it through New Deal agencies, such as the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Home Owners Loan Corporation. 

The segregation that President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration inherited reflected preexisting institutions, of which restrictive racial covenants may have been the most important. They were still relatively new, however. FDR might well have used his unprecedented leverage over housing finance to undo them.

Instead, the New Deal did the opposite. The FHA promoted racial covenants and other instruments of segregation through underwriting standards discouraging home loans in areas “infiltrat[ed]” by “inharmonious racial or nationality groups.” The rationale was the government’s need to protect its investment, and those of white homeowners, against the threat African American neighbors would pose to property values.

No data supported this ostensible concern, as Rothstein notes. The FHA’s pro-segregation policy reflected racist assumptions that pervaded even progressive circles in the 1930s — plus FDR’s need to appease his Southern Democratic supporters.

When World War II began, the federal government constructed dwellings for workers who flocked to defense-related factories. This housing, too, was allocated by race. In some affected localities, there was no housing segregation, nor even any particular history of Jim Crow, until the feds created it."

Again....Reid says:  " We didn’t have access to...home loans..."

Do you believe that to be an accurate statement? 

Also curious about a couple of things...

How old are you?

Have you ever heard of FNM and FRE?

Was the new deal unfavorable for a lot of blacks initially?

That is none of your business.

Funny...

I will take it as a NO on FRE & FNM.  How about this, are you older or younger than Eric Reid?  (he is 26)

Again....Reid says:  " We didn’t have access to...home loans..." 

Do you believe that's an accurate statement. 

While you are thinking keep in mind Reid's position is rooted in an assertion of " 400 years of systemic oppression"...

...that's a long time, certainly not limited to the New Deal era -- we are talking 1618 to 2018.  Think about it.

 

 

 

You're a waste of time. You haven't answered any of my questions. I'm not answering yours foh.

Crybaby Billy T talking trash behind a keyboard, Then has to beg for his apology once he gets reprimanded by a mod. Sad!

You only need to apologize to yourself for the embarrassment you've brought for using such dated material.

You should take a remedial grammar class.

A mod messaged me about a violation but mentioned nothing specific.  I zeroed in on what I thought might have hurt the feelings of one or two snowflakes (like yourself) and the mod confirmed that one particular word/term had hurt your feelings, and that is fine (skin thicknesses vary widely).

As such, and without being prompted, I volunteered an apology because I want to be a member in good standing and respect all, including those with paper thin skin like yourself.

Again, if I hurt your feelings, I sincerely apologize.

They cry to mods because they want you banned not because they want your apology. Thats how they operate.  The mods are stuck trying to placate a bunch of spoiled crybabies who only want a foot once they are given an inch.
