Mr. Scot

I definitely think it matters. Sufficient player support could do a lot to change the dynamic. But there's still one very major obstacle. Hardy is likely to be suspended by the league. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say four games, but six or more is definitely possible, And if that happens, then we're talking about a contract and roster spot for Hardy for a partial season for the second year in a row. That's gonna be a tough sell.

I'm also old and grouchy.

One night in Bangkok?

To be fair, their division champ at least had a winning record. On overall quality though, I could buy that.

Understood. That can actually work both ways, as is evidenced by those times when other team's fans get excited about a former Panther player or coach, but fans on here say 'buyer beware'.

If you've been on here long enough...well, let's just say I've seen enough to know not to believe anything I can't confirm. And that lesson was learned early

Dex is not Dexterity.

That's a heck of a long labor

The NFC South plays the AFC South next year? Lord have mercy, that could set football back 50 years

You think guys on here were processing rational thoughts while they looked at that picture?

It's "jinkys"

Oh, hell no. The new mod definitely shouldn't be a lib... Wait...I read that wrong

Look what you've started

Where did she go for treatment?

I get the feeling Zod does too Nah. I can't stand that guy.

Cutler won't

Josh needs to be in a WCO.

The guys already on the job are such shining examples. (or was it "steaming"?)

Slight issue with that too, I'm afraid

Yeah... About that...

Doesn't matter! Greg Hardy cannot be touched! If they even try, the Supreme Court will intervene! At least that's what's expected here in Charlotte. I'm not sure that some here realize that outside of Panther fandom, the rest of the country doesn't necessarily have the same kind of reverence and deference for Greg Hardy as rabid Panther fans do. I also wonder how it's going to play here if Hardy doesn't swear loyalty to the Panthers and agree to play the next five years for nothing but the love of the game and this team.

The same as Ray Rice initial suspension? That'd be a PR nightmare for the NFL.

I could see an outside chance that he won't be suspended, but the more thought I put onto it the more likely it seems. And yeah, I have no trouble looking at it objectively because I long ago accepted the likelihood that Hardy was never laying another snap in a Panther uniform. Sad that it turned out as it did, but the team has to do what's best for them. Offering contracts to guys that are suspension risks is all too often just too much of a risk.
