Funny story about our old friends

Looks like Rivera tried to kick the tires on Eric Reid and offered him the opportunity to join the practice squad.

Reid decided that the PS is beneath him.

What a clown.

Which person? Reid or Rivera? Or both?

Reid obviously. Rivera extended an olive branch and Reid chose to be an idiot. You can't drum up Instagram likes from the practice squad which is all this clown cares about.

i think i'm starting to get a bead on you.  maybe try an alt right panthers forum instead of this one

I was never a Reid fan, but the guy has started nearly 100 games and earned over $25M over the course of his career. Honestly, I don't blame him for declining a practice squad offer. 

Snacks Harrison has accomplished and earned more and took a PS spot. PS spot is better than no spot, if Reid truly wants to play football (he doesn't).

The practice squad is a little different this year. Go look at some of the names on it. It's just an extension of the roster (with drastically reduced pay).

I'm not arguing for or against Reid and/or his motivations here. All I'm saying is that I can understand why he'd pass. Some people are going to arrive at one conclusion or the other based on who he is and it's a conclusion they arrived at long ago, this situation just gives them a reason to hope back on their soap box about it... again.

He just offered Reid a job for $12,000 a week and a shot (a good one) at making it back onto the regular roster. Practice squad also puts you in play for other teams (under certain conditions) while you get to maintain football conditioning and accrue some more pro time.

I don't think anyone on this board would turn down $12k a week, but then again, I don't know what his finances are like (and to have earned $25 million that early in life), so who am I to say? Everything is relative, right? 

I just don't see where anyone in the far-too-short-career NFL can turn down that kind of offer, especially when he admits it's the only one he has received.

Several accomplished veterans have been signed to practice squads this year.

My opinion: Honestly, if 32 teams aren't even interested in just having you on their roster, holding out for a starting job seems a little delusional.

    • If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway. 
    • You mean tepper but yeah I agree about rhule   Baker is a top 3 potential qb that is play for mvp and he is doing it with a slew of injuries
    • There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
