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.

    • 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
