Eric Reid should be cut immediately

I'm sure I'll get crushed by some people on here for this, but the fact that he actually flew to Atlanta the day before a game to be at a workout for a friend is beyond unacceptable and we should cut him ASAP.

We have a big game tomorrow, basically a must win if we want any shot at the playoffs, and he leaves town for a piss poor reason.

Having a baby out of state or a very sick family member, something along those lines would be acceptable, but to be at a workout for a friend?!?!?!

This has NOTHING to do with his kneeling or his support of Kaepernick, this is 100% about priorities, and if he feels him being in person at this workout is more important than preparing for tomorrow's game, then he shouldn't be a member of this team anymore, period.

He should be cut because he sucks......no other reason.

Could you imagine the poo storm that would be caused if Cam were to just fly to Atlanta to hangout in his cigar shop for a few hours the day before a game and then flew back?

Hell... you don't even see players go attend their college's games on Saturdays (unless in the same town they play on Sunday), regardless how big the game is, if they have a game on Sunday, those are only done on weeks their team is on bye.

This has nothing to do with him having the time, but it just goes to show his mind is NOT on the game tomorrow and to me, it's unacceptable.

And as someone else said, he's just not even that good.

No, i would not be calling for CMC to be cut if it were him, but I would 100% say he should be benched for the next game, because this just isn't something you do when you have a game tomorrow, no matter who you are.

And when you're already questionable as a player (as I typed that, he just missed another open tackle since he had his head down trying to hit the guy as hard as possible and whiffed), then it's time to let him go.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
