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.

      So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
