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.

Can you articulate exactly what it is that you think he should be doing to prepare but isn’t by taking this trip? I’m not intimately aware of what NFL players are normally doing on Saturday afternoons to prepare for a home game the next day, so maybe I’m overlooking something.

More to the point, if his HC who is very definitely on the hot seat signed off on it, why would you reasonably come to the conclusion his absence is likely to affect his performance?

How is it any different than players/coaches going to NBA or college games the night before? It’s not like he’s out there running routes or covering receivers. I’m sure he’ll be asleep in his bed the same time as everyone else on the team. 

Or flying to the away game. We all.know what this is about. Politics

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?

 

I assume someone with motives would start a stupid topic like this one.

Couldn't be more wrong, this has absolutely NOTHING to do with politics, i don't give a crap about the players who kneel or any of that crap.

I actually was very excited when we signed him, and was on board with re-signing him again.

But his play has dropped dramatically and I don't think he is focused on football anymore, he is too focused on complaining about his drug tests and all the Kaep crap.  

If you're clean, just piss in the cup and walk away, leave it at that, but he makes the biggest deal about everything, is more focused on Kaep's workout today than studying any last film, or getting treatment, or whatever players do to mentally prepare for a game the next day.  I can guarantee players don't prepare for games by flying to another city to support a friend for anything non life threatening.

My motives are to have the best Panthers team on the field possibly, and I've been questioning whether Reid fits into that for the last month or two already, this just sold me on it.

I despise everything that has to do with Trump and the fact that kneeling upset him was something that I found humorous and it actually made me like the players doing it just because it pissed him off (something I didn't care about one way or the other prior to him jumping into it all).

You're just plain wrong to think this has anything to do with politics or motives other than the fact that I don't think Reid is all that good anymore and this proves he mentally isn't focused on the Panthers season when I didn't think he had it physically anymore .

So what should the team do about all the guys that go out drinking tonight or any night before a game? Should they cut them too?

If you were in charge we wouldn’t be fielding a team a lot of Sunday’s. 
 

Literally might be the stupidest take I’ve ever seen on this board. Good job dumbass.

If someone I thought was a marginal at best player went out to a club and was partying tonight when they're penciled in as a starter tomorrow... then 100% yes I would be on board with cutting them too.

Yea, I know that stuff happens, but do you really think guys like CMC or Luke are out there doing anything today that has even the slightest chance of hindering their focus or ability to be at 100% tomorrow?

How about this... if Reid was on the Patriots and did this, do you think Bill would be okay with that and have no repercussions?

Not a chance in hell, he would at minimum be benched for tomorrow, if not out right cut.
