You love the Kraken, I love the Kraken. We pay to watch him perform on Sundays. But Greg Hardy has needed to learn to separate his professional life from his personal life for quite some time now. A bit of maturity is needed, and quickly. That is usually how it goes for 25 year old men. Throw in plenty of money and fame and often times you have a bigger problem. Over the years with the Panthers there have been signs of trouble. Namely tweeting pictures of dozens of shot glasses, his Bentley speedometer going over 100mph, a driving record with plenty of speeding tickets and a motorcycle accident to name a few. A problem that began in college causing him to plummet in the NFL draft has bled into the NFL Hardy can add a domestic abuse charge to his record, and that is no laughing matter. A lack of maturity has now cost him millions, and could cost him much more. It threatens the long term contract he has worked towards. Personal problems will now fall into the risk category when weighing Hardy's benefit. Even if found completely innocent, the domestic violence charge will follow him around the NFL. We don't yet know what happened yesterday morning. He very well may not be entirely at fault. However, he is 100% responsible for the position he has put himself in. The people he chooses to surround himself with also fall into the "needs maturation" category. These are all red flags leading up to something more substantial. All signs point to more serious problems on the horizon. The NFL is littered with these stories, and Hardy could just be the next sad character and punch line. Unless Hardy can get it turned around, and I mean right now. A full night in a jail cell could be the wake up call Greg has needed for quite some time. Forced to stay the night as a cooling off period, he hopefully used the time wisely and went through accelerated maturation. We all love the Kraken on the field. Lets hope Greg Hardy can learn to leave him there. Click here to view the article

His girlfriend doesn't look like she could do much damage to him... http://web.stagram.com/n/itsmeeenicki

Obviously if it means saving someone else you do what you have to do. I am just talking about in normal relationship type stuff. I really hope Hardy did not punch her.

Yep, waiting to hear details. Hopefully it was a dumb mutual scuffle and her wrists were bruised form him trying to keep her from punching him. Something along those lines, while sad, are more forgivable. If he punched her in the face... he is gone.

What if she reached for the absolute best cheese fry in the pile? The one loaded with the most cheese and bacon?

Well, the police arrested him which means they probably saw visible evidence. Plus, I am basing my opinion on a friend of mine that had a fling with Hardy. I know he can be a real doucher, so that might be clouding my perception admittedly.

Yes, I am sure Greg was in grave danger by a 5'4 120 pound female.

There are two types of men in this world, those who are capable of hitting a woman and those who are not. Sad to hear Hardy is the type that can. Sent from the Carolina Huddle App

Other than him being a bit of a puss?

Finishing out the Draft the Panthers select players who can contribute immediately even in the later rounds. Round 4 - CJ Fiedorowicz TE Iowa I have been big on this guy for a while, and he will be there for round 4. CJ is the best run blocking TE in the draft and has soft reliable hands in the passing game. He would immediately improve the Panthers horrible run game, something Carolina will desperately need this season if they hope to improve on being ranked 28th overall on offense. Round 5 - Brandon Coleman WR Rutgers With this pick the Panthers address their need for a go to red zone wide receiver. Coleman is not the fastest guy on the field, but at 6'6 and a 33 inch vertical he will present matchup problems for shorter defensive backs. Needs to develop more of an aggressive attitude, something RIcky Proehl and the Panthers newly acquired veteran receivers can aid in. Receivers his height rarely make an impact in the NFL, thus he will be available in round 5. Round 6 - Justin Britt OT Missouri Britt is a top notch OT prospect that will fall to the late rounds because of his injury issues in 2012. Before you lose interest in this pick, remember the Panthers drafted another such player in the past named Greg Hardy. Britt has performed well against the top rushers in college and shows the toughness to be a legitimate NFL caliber player. At 6'6 and 325lbs, he fits the Gettleman hog molly mold.He may be too tall for shorter QB's like Drew Brees to see over, but will be a good fit for Cam Newton. Round 7 - Cody Davis FS Texas Tech Davis had an excellent pro day at Texas Tech and will probably be a late round selection. Everyone knows he is a tackling machine and can contribute immediately on special teams. His only concern was his measurables against NFL receivers. Davis clocked a 4.41 40 which is good enough for him to be drafted. This pick has huge upside for the Panthers. Davis is aggressive and savvy enough to contribute at the NFL level, as seen by his 4 forced fumbles. He would immediately contribute on special teams which is all you can ask for in a 7th round pick. Click here to view the article

Chest hair hides definition. If you have no definition, it hides flab.

No, but... If Atlanta gets him I will be disappoint.

More athletic than King ever was.

I back into my 32 waist jeans and under 200 pounds. Home gym is working great. simple dumbell workouts, pullup bar, and plenty of running or walking. No gym membership needed.

Oh yeah, for Mr Scot

Jawuan James - OT - Tennessee With the Panthers in dire need of two new tackles, I believe they may be taking a long look at Jawuan James to compete immediately for the starting right tackle position. James fits the mold of a David Gettleman lineman 6'6" and 311 pounds. His frame could easily put on another 10 pounds by September. At Tennessee, James showed NFL caliber strength and speed as well as technique. James has the ability to head down field in search of second level defenders on run plays and scrambles. Set a UT record for 49 games started by an offensive lineman, all at right tackle. His durability is unquestioned. His extensive experience at RT makes him a possible game 1 starter. James is currently projected in rounds 3 or 4, which makes him a prime target for the Panthers late 3rd round pick. Click here to view the article

He isn't projected as a top teir LT. More likely a stud guard or RT. We won't be finding a Jordan Gross at our drafting position, so we might as well get a top tier player at another position that is still in dire need.

Bitonio plays mean and hard, but not dirty. So you can take him off New Orleans and New England's draft board.

He is projected late 2nd - 3rd round.

I think that seals Mr Scot's approval.

Over the next few weeks I will be highlighting players I would like to see in a Carolina Panthers uniform. Joel Bitonio is one of those guys. Joel Bitonio 6-4 302 Pounds 5th year senior out of Nevada. Bitonio showed both the intelligence and tenacity that propel players into a solid NFL career. He performed better than originally expected at the combine, shooting him up to possibly the second but more likely third round. Why the Panthers need him: - Bitonio can play any position on the line - Finishes blocks with conviction. Known to have a mean streak. - Does not give up on plays or take plays off. - One of the fastest offensive line players in the draft. Would like to see him down field in front of Cam on designed runs. - Earned starting spot his Sophomore year. Not intimidated by established players. Click here to view the article
