It wasn't about you but while your asking, you don't like Hurney or Rivera and nitpick and paint everything they do in the worse possible light.  And it isn't even debatable at this point, it is obvious to anyone.

 And I have proven, valid reasons for those opinions. Unlike you who defend anything the team does. Shula ring a bell? 

  Hurney is terrible. Proven terrible. But we should wait patiently while he destroy this team. Again. What’s false about that? Sorry if it’s not the company line, but facts are facts. 

  He is any of this different from your team first bias?

Reid is a top 10 strong safety and would have been one of the top safeties judging football talent along. He played out of position and came in off the sofa with no off-season or preseason. Given all that he did a great job and his contract isn't that big or filled with that much guaranteed money. Your dislike for Hurney blinds you to the facts.

Do you think it was smart to sign Eric Reid to a contract before free agency began?

Yes or No. 

Then we can revisit the "facts" after free agency, and compare hard numbers, and Safety rankings from 2018.

I dont even think he cares about the team. He is just here for mental masturbation via gaslighting and denial. If you feed it, it only wants more and there is no hope of a valid or quality debate. Make fun of him and ignore.

Another old "stop gap" safety, yeah this is the normal Panthers signing.

 

Crazy people will praise this move but say we should stay away from players like Ford/Thomas/Collins because they cost to much.lol

Thomas would be a huge risk with his recent injury history. He looks to be physically breaking down at this point in his career. The Collins ship sailed when we re-signed Reid. They're redundant players. You can't start two box safeties in today's NFL. Ford... hey, if he checks out physically I wouldn't be opposed at all to adding a player like Dee Ford.

I think Dee got tagged.

Really. When is the last time he was even league average. 

  And if he was out of position last year,, what is going to change? He’s still going to have to play single high some and get abused. So we signed a safety who is limited, when there are so many available that are not. 

  Thinking everything the organization does is the right thing is an agenda. Just like any other. Just because you disagree doesn’t mean your view is not biased. 

Wrong as usual. He was

He isn't going to be a free safety this year which is why we let Adams go. He will have all off-season and preseason to prepare and with some upgrades at corner could very well be in the probowl consideration in 2019.

If you think I believe everything the team does it right, you aren't paying attention. But I think the Reid signing was a good move. And who said my view was unbiased? I try to use facts to support my views but in the end I am a casual fan with no insider info or great knowledge of how organizations actually work. We are all biased to some point but some of allow information to change our opinion like my opinion of Hurney 2.0 versus 1.0 while others hold onto their views no matter what changes.

Again where are the facts to prove Hurney sucks this time around. You presented no facts at all. Just your half baked opinion. Do you know what a fact is?

Yeah because as a PSL owner and Roaring riot member who even travels to other stadiums to see the team I must not care.

Actually you and your little band of malcontents who fill every thread with bitching and whining seem to be the trolls and gaslighters.  If there isn't a quality debate it is you not keeping up your end. I have no problem defending my opinions with logic and facts. Do you even know the difference between a fact, a stat and an opinion?

Yes I think it was a good signing. We needed to shore up the secondary and Reid is a good in the box safety who will solidify the position for the next 3 years.

And no you can't compare 2018 numbers unless it is apples to apples. Compare him to a strong safety playing out of a position at free safety who joined the team after the season started and you have a fair comparison. Otherwise compare him after this year to a strong safety playing in the box with a full off-season and preseason and look at 2019 rankings. That is a fair comparison

Im not saying we should sign those players, I was just throwing out quality players who will cost a lot of money.

Ok.  That was easy.  We can compare the salaries and contract construction once free agency has passed and see if we made a mistake as I contend, or didn't as you contend.

B y whose measures? Yours? Find me anyone, anywhere backing that up? Use those facts? He was 55 on PFF last year. 44th in 2017. Exactly where is he a top 10 Safeties again?

    Just like I changed my opinion on Rivera. I defended him, for years, until the Defense fell to pieces. But it’s time for change. So I changed my mind. Just not in the hopeful Hurney 2.0 way of thinking someone who can’t get another NFL job is the answer for this team. For no other reason that he got hired again by us. 

  Again, what’s my bias? When I’m defending Hurney against blame for Kalil, is that part of my agenda? I wouldn’t, but Hurneys supporters aren’t intelligent enough to know how to prove it. I’ve got plenty of those. Let’s try and find you saying anything bad about the teams decision making? 

Butker., Poe, Olsen, Gano, CJ, 7-9 

When I have 11 years of job performance to judge, and one year of wasted money, a worse record, and some good draft picks. More of the same. Make me a case why Hurney is qualified to be GM? Is your goal to make the playoffs 1 out of 4 years?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
