Justin Reid is however the sweetest of sweeties and Spags/DB's would be lost without him. That by itself is worth half the money Reid makes. People who entertain the notion of cutting Reid to maybe sign a LT or something are just plain silly.
In fact I think Justin Reid would be fine at LT. Spags believes in him and that's all that matters. You don't cut sweeties like Justin Reid!
Reid is very handsome too! It doesn't get talked about enough. Mahomes has a Dad bod now and the DB's need something to look at.

You should have gotten a Toney and Moore signed jerseys. [Reply]

We'll see how the team feels about Reid ... if it extends him, clearly the team has the opposite view as PFF.
PFF kills him because of a bad coverage grade and that's not entirely unfair. He's not a great coverage safety.
But that's just not how we use him.
Whether PFF is accurate or not isn't even the right question here - it's whether or not it even matters given how he's used for us. We use him as a box safety and almost hybrid LBer. He's used as a true 'old school' strong safety more than anything.
PFF doesn't seem inclined to account for that at all. He did the job we asked of him quite well this year and that's what's relevant. [Reply]

Exactly. he put on weight before this past season just to be stronger in the box.
He also calls the plays for the DB's and Spags loves him. [Reply]
In all seriousness, I hate PFF's grades, but I love their analytical and premium stats. It's the only reason I have a membership. Yes I'd love to see exactly how each player does when they are lined up in certain positions on the defense, etc.
Plus I appreciate the analytical stats too that others don't often have.

But yes, fuck their grading system.
It's like RAS.
The component parts of RAS are interesting. The 'score' that it creates is just absolutely asinine. [Reply]

What if cutting Reid allows you to pay Sneed on the tag this year? It's realistic you can save $7 - $8 mil by cutting Reid and signing a vet. This defense has plenty of leaders: Jones, Bolton, Sneed, McDuffie. I like Reid. I don't love him. And if you can save $12 mil on a player you just like, but don't love, you have to at least discuss it.
I don't see anyone saying he sucks or that they hate him. [Reply]

They play 3 safeties so much, though, that you have to replace Reid somehow. So you’re saving $12M on Reid, but what are you spending to replace him? 1/3 to 1/2 of the savings, and at that point, the value and sense shrink away. [Reply]
