Would rather send a 3rd & 5th and conditional 3rd to seattle for thomas.

For someone that would just leave and go to Dallas next year. No thanks!

"I love Eric Reid like a brother and wish him the best, but I'm a Carolina Panther now and I support my teammates on defense 100%."

People always want to critique Cam's comments... OK, I just gave you the better "football cliche" option of what Smith could have said above if he was a "leader" of this team.

The ever popular "no comment" and "that's not my job" are options too.

I have no doubt Rivera understands that the defense is underperforming. He doesn't want to say that in public though. Publicly, you have to at least give the impression that you believe in the guys your have (up until you bench or cut them, at least).

That's probably not an easy thing to do as is, but when a player says something that contradicts that public message they make their coach look foolish.

But of course, this may be just all coach-speak from Ron.  Remember how staunchly he supported Amini in all those pressers, then kept him on the bench.

I do

But I also remember how he supported Nakamura and we stuck with him.

The offense calling out the defense is always fun.

Smith needs to lay off social media and help this fuging team already.

 

Learn to catch, Smith.

Haha.  "social media" or social justice?  Both apply.  Catch a bomb already, and keep your trap shut.

That doesn't fit the Huddle narrative. Some Huddlers revel in their creation of fake news.

"We could use a guy like him" doesn't sound like lobbying?

One of your co-workers says "you know we could use someone like (a guy that does your job and could replace you)", how do you respond?

I think he very delicately mentioned it based off of injuries...

Didn't take it as a dig on the defense or a critique of any one player.

Reid is the best free agent out there and he's only 26... he could be a tremendous pick up for years to come.

Torrey Smith has no clout with this team to talk about anything. Matter of fact he hasn't even earned his own spot here and this type of talk usually gets players themselves fuged up, especially if you're terrible like Smith is.

"could have said" -- glad you added that.  For a second, at first read, I thought you were directly quoting Smith, which would've changed everything.  (But he didn't, so... bus throw is accurate)

Reid is a good player, and he’s versatile — seen action at SS, WLB and Slot CB.

I’m not petitioning for or against Reid, but I will say this: Tepper would be just the guy to do it. 

Not while he's engaged in an active lawsuit.

If we were just talking about controversial comments, then maybe. The lawsuit makes it a lot more than that..

On top of, as you have repeatedly pointed out, his concussion history.

Reid's concussion history makes Luke's look like Pop Warner stuff.

What we really need now is for Mike Adams to talk about cutting "Stone Hands" Smith and signing Dez Bryant.

Yup...glass houses and all that...rofl it's actually hilarious when you think about it.

That said i'd rather have Thomas, Reid, and or Bryant than Smith. Reid suing the NFL means he isn't joining a club if that is hard for someone to understand then they are so stupid it's not worth talking to them about anything.

Regardless we should be at least attempting to upgrade the S (and Smiths WR spot).

Not so sure -- instigator and a concussion history.  2 flashing red lights.

it's a different year. That was 5 years ago. Come up with some thing more recent. It's pure ignorance to think RR hasn't learned from that.
