Eric Reid Bringing The Ice On Michael Thomas

I can explain this for you. Talking about "distractions" is political. Talking about tackling is football. Watch how I do this, it's really not that hard to do:

"The initial bar for Eric was to be better than Colin Jones. Mission accomplished, and surpassed. Now folks are starting to debate whether he might actually be a reasonably good safety and whether we should sign him to a longer deal or not."

See how that works? Easy peasy.

Riiiiiiiight, because football players can't be distracted from the goal of winning a game?  Please ban my account, the IQ is too low here.

Retreating to logical fallacies so quickly? I hereby accept your admission of defeat. Also, the ad hominem was painfully weak and indirect. I think if you rock that up a bit you could probably achieve banishment.

I actually was a visitor from another country to boa in week 3 and admire what Eric Reid is doing, and on a whole what the movement is advocating and think its disgusting how minorities are treated by cops (not all of course) in your country. I could go on and on and on with what I make of current US politics but that's not for this forum.

So, you are agreeing with what he said.  The fact that Eric Reid is the only one doing it makes him stand out and perhaps distract from the captains of the team and the mindset of winning a football game over protesting.

who's distracted? you want to provide any evidence or do you just want to keep pissing yourself because the football man won't stand up?

Well, this thread proves my point.  People would rather support Reid in his cause than talk about the Carolina Panthers.  It's a game.  If he wants to protest, run for President or something.  

 

Should I go protest against higher taxes in church?

Not agreeing, I didn't call Eric Reid kneeler, i called him Eric Reid. I didn't notice it in the sideline at the time as it haoppens but I was aware of his kneeling and support it. If I was a player I would actually kneel with him. As I said earlier I don't believe professionals, ie his colleagues, would be distracted in the slightest.

Are you asked to publically declare your love for the irs in church? I'm sick of this argument and I'm just going to ignore you as you are a bigot

Is kneeler an offensive term?  I kneel at church.  Should I be mad if someone calls me a kneeler?

You have no evidence to support me being a bigot.  You just want to have a parade for Eric Reid and are getting salty that people don't care about that stuff when watching football.

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
