Why didn’t Eric Reid have a better nfl career?

Eric’s younger brother Justin is having a great game right now in the AFC championship. He’s had a very solid career. Better than his older brother Eric, who I thought would be elite at the next level. While he had a few good years, it didn’t last long. Why did he flame out? Was it all just because of getting political and caring more about being a sjw than playing football or was there injuries? Hard to believe he didn’t play a decade in the league.

Because he got blackballed because of Kap support in his prime whether you like it or not

He started all 16 games his final season and was on the field for 99% of Carolina's snaps, but he was a non factor.

He still signed with a team after that.
Injuries did him in, not his ideologies.

Exactly he just didn't cut it the way he needed to

Not entirely true. No team is going to sign a backup with political issues. Just is not worth it.

Eric Reid's career started off well.
He just wasn't as good of a coverage safety as Justin.
The kapernick stuff affected the end of his career but it 2asnt like he was some all-pro.
He was a true strong safety. Teams weren't going to put up with thr headache for a ss.

Maybe he should go try professional sports in China, Iran or North Korea if he felt so oppressed here

Kneeling was more important

Yep that’s what they all say, how’d that Kaperdik play after that

Didn't he have multiple concussions in the NFL? That is my recollection, his career was cut short due to concussions.
