I struggle to even get to nepotism.
It's 'great man' disease. When you work with someone who's been great and who has done amazing things, you so badly want them to still be great that you gaslight yourself into now seeing just how far they've fallen.
EB looked good for a half in that Chargers game but he looked awfully iffy in the Seahawks game. Alarm bells should have been ringing after that one. They should've been especially loud after a bye week couldn't have him ready for the Colts game.
And they should've been deafening a mere quarter into that Patriots game. But Reid wanted so badly to believe that Berry would shake the rust off and come through that he just couldn't believe his lyin' eyes.
There's no malicious intent there so it's not what I would consider nepotism. He genuinely convinced himself that Berry was going to be the best way to win that game. He was dead ass wrong.
