I know there are some Reid nut huggers on here.  But he is never in position...ever.  He stands in the middle of the field and never breaks early enough to the WR making the play.  He doesn’t watch the eyes of the QB and seems to lack ball skills.

his two picks?  Both bad overthrows with a receiver no where around...to the middle of the field where Reid is always standing, stuck in concrete.  It’s no coincidence that our defense got even worse when Reid stepped in, and has not progressed since.  I understand that Colin Jones isn’t that good...but he’s not this bad.

So you're prepared to make the same comments about Luke?   He's pretty much been exactly what you're complaining about Reid, all year.

Sounds like Luke to me.

He's not great, but signing him was the right call. He's absolutely better than anyone on the roster behind him. The main problem with Reid is that the league has simply evolved past old school in the box big hitting safeties. You gotta be able to cover at the safety position in today's NFL because they've essentially outlawed running around and just laying people out. Reid would've been a much better player if he'd been born 20 years earlier.

OP is a fuging idot. Reid has been one of our best players. I can't even count the number touchdown saving tackles he's made after our front seven misses multiple opportunities to bring down a ball carrier. The problems with this defense (and team overall) are all in the trenches. We're missing tackles at the point of attack and not getting to the QB enough. Thank god for Eric Reid.

Luke has been guessing wrong and been out of position all year long lol.  Him leaving his run fit multiple times today got us gashed for big runs.  I saw Reid made one bad missed tackle today, and that was it.  If you're being honest, Luke has been a much bigger problem.  Actually, the LB corps in general, along with the front 4 has been poo, and that's likely what will cause this team to fall out of playoff contention.

On a day where a RB averaged over 8 ypc on us, we couldn't get pressure, James Bradberry was morphed into Kenny Golladay's bitch, Funchess decided to be Funchess and drop every fuging meaningful pass, and Gano couldn't hit water from the middle of the fuging ocean, you decide to single out Eric Reid?  Lol.  Just lol.

      Carolina Way is gone, it went out the window with the Belichick hiring. They'll hire the best coach they can, ignoring everything else if possible.    Athletic reports that the school's top two targets are Tommy Lloyd and Billy Donovan. They don't care the buyout for a coach either, they and the boosters are willing to spend and will be going outside of the coaching family tree 100%.

      I don't think it's a homer though when I really feel this team can beat anyone.  The points that can be scored in bunches when the big three are on has high potential.  Moose has effort for days and IMO is the heart of the team.  And didn't see Miles becoming the team "vet" in the starting lineup just roleplaying lol.   We have to limit the turnovers though (Brandon Miller I'm looking at you bud, you are a bad ball handler) and some little things.   Colby off the bench is a cheat code and him and Kaulk have a nice little game going with the picks.    Sion playing every game and just getting better each game.  He has grit.  Grant and Green also grit.  We need replace Tillman with PJ Hall though.  Tillman looks like someone that shouldn't be on an NBA court, or at least with this team, he's just too slow for this tempo.   Even McNeely looked decent tonight and can drive.   If Kaulk and Moose could even be like 30% 3pt shooters man....
