Source claims Eric Reid lied about how many times he was tested

Reid, because he is in the NFL, gets contracts to play football worth millions. I don't think he's getting fuged even if he was chosen to get drug tested every week. The NFL is his benefactor.

I think those getting fuged are all the black people that believe they have to be a rapper or professional ball player to do something with their life. If you believe you have to be a rapper or athlete to be anything in life chances are you won't be anything in life.

This is the message the media sends to the blacks, which is the real racism.

When these things happen it does not lead to being racist. Everything that happens it is automatically racist which is really overdoing it and going way overboard with it.

Not going to rush on this one.

Fairly easy for Reid to slap the NFL pretty hard on this one.

It's not common to get popped a few times with a test, and I posted an article from James Harrison a few years ago bitching about it, but something isn't sitting right on this one.

If true he shouldn’t be offered a contract next season.  He even had other players coming to his defense by stating the number of times they’ve been tested.  If Reid exaggerated this numbers (like he exaggerated his level of play), then fug him.

Even Ron Rivera said if he was Reid he would buy a lotto ticket. I definitely do not trust the NFL but if true, it is not a very good look for Reid.

If my employer had a random drug testing policy and I did not do drugs (as is the case), and they tested me more than others following a grievance, I have a choice---take the tests or get a lawyer.  This is a job, not an entitlement.  The NFL has done nothing until a test shows up positive.

I am starting to think Reid could be a locker room cancer--no telling how many young minds (Gaulden, Jackson, for example) he could be corrupting with his conspiracy nonsense.  Take the test or refuse and lawyer up--he did neither.  He is trying to use PR tactics to retaliate.

There is a reason more than civil rights when a player of his talent and potential sits in free agency like he did.  We know nothing, but we are starting to see the tips of the iceburg.  Playing the victim--and I was on his side vs. the owners until I learned more.  I admit that I do not have the facts like some of you Aristotles,  but the signs are not great.

you think.   we'll see.  if he lied i don't like it either.   however the nfl is at a point where they need to prove it.  i don't trust  the nfl just because they said so.

And folks, look at the average roster in the NFL--this is really not about racism.  If I thought that were the case, I would be the first in line to protest. 

They ask Reid to take a drug test, and he complies but feels discriminated against.  Yet he complies.

Yet he does not stand for the National Anthem for the same reason?

I personally did not think he should have to stand, but I do not recall anyone telling him that he had to stand.  We just do not know all of the facts, but if I am a GM, I worry that he could piss in the drinking water--I look elsewhere for talent (safe move, not a racial move).

Every drug test I have done and I'm subject to random test at anytime.  You sign a piece of paper with a time and date on it  and get a copy. So if Reid was tested alot he would have receipts to prove it.  

The NFL is basically daring him to provide proof. They can’t because of HIPAA which is why they leaked that he has been tested less than he claimed via “sources.”

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
