Torrey Smith wants Eric Reid on the Panthers

[Carolina]

Hey Torrey, shut the fug up and catch a freakin pass more consistently! If you could hold on to a damn pass as well as you hold you phone to Tweet maybe the passing game would be more consistent and we'd actually have a deep threat, which was the main reason you were brought here.

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 shape is he in? Does he even want to play or just acting like he does? And we were never talking about an elite Safety. He was solid, which would be fine, but that was a year ago with no football activity since. 

  Get Karl Joseph instead. Depending on how hurt he is?

This would be far less offensive than the signing of Roman Harper.

Reid also lost his starting job last year. He's not even very good. He's also a box SS not a FS and we need a FS to replace Jones/Searcy. I think people are just enamored because they have heard of him before. Not because they know a damn thing about him.

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..

I have a feeling us and a bunch other teams would have contacted him if he hadn't filed a lawsuit.

Another huge problem. Well said. I would rather try a CB at FS than run another slow FS out there. You can’t hit anyone anyhow?   A decent tackler with coverage skills.

I'm 100% guilty of this. Easy to get wrapped up in a name.

I would love for us to sign Reid, but obviously myself and Torrey Smith will approach this from a much different perspective than Ron or the FO...we don’t have to deal with any of the repercussions of the signing. We aren’t the ones who are going to pay his salary...manage the salary cap after the signing...deal with the incessant media circus around a signing like this...

 

This is a milder version of your average Huddler sitting on the couch in these past few years like “SIGN EVERYONE!!! TRADE FOR EVERYONE!!!! WTF!!!”, meanwhile we have no cap space. That’s like saying us Huddlers have more sense than the FO for wanting to trade for Khalil Mack or something...we don’t deal with the business portion of this.

I love insightful posts like yours.  So right.

It is never surprising the amount of people ready to cannibalize a player once he does something that offends their sense of armchair QB/GMing.

But wait...do you mean the Huddle isn't solely comprised of former GMs?  I was misled.

PS for anyone mentioning Earl Thomas... lol Where you gonna get an excess $6 mil in cap space on top of the sub $4 mil we already have to trade for him? His hit is + $10 mil.

just stop...

He only played SS his last year. FS every other year and that includes the year he made the pro bowl. Regardless he's better than Colin Jones. He may have lost his job but that was with actual safety's not a ST guy pretending to be a safety

Torrey Smith probably roasted Colin Jones in practice and said “this clearly isn’t going to work”
