Ealy is not the next Everette...he can play

[Tub of Goo]

Loved seeing Kony beat Eric Fisher that one play (can't remember which quarter) and Fisher had to resort to holding and was flagged.  

 

Ealy is fast, only going to get stronger.

Still wonder if some restructuring of CJ along with a Hardy offer might work somehow, but we've been real fortunate with our DL staff since the draft DT double dip set it straight.

I don't know dude.  CJ's contract is so atrocious, I could see them releasing him and signing Hardy to a long term deal.  Plus CJ is older.   

 

Charles Johnson's been one of the most consistent players on the team for going on 5 seasons now.  I don't think they'd let him go to keep Greg Hardy, who is battling some serious legal problems and is a strong candidate to miss a lot of games due to suspension.  In a perfect world Johnson would restructure his contract to be more cap friendly and they'd let Ealy step into Hardy's spot next season if he shows he's ready.  

 

I really don't see them keeping Hardy past this season.  He wants too much money and his off field troubles make him too risky for a long term deal.  The Ealy pick looks brilliant in hindsight.

If anyone paid attention to the Giants, I believe Johnson will be the one to stay too.  The Giants kept the quieter more consistent Justin Tuck.  They paired him with Kiwanuka and the young J. Pierre Paul.  They let Osi walk.  He was the only one with negativity attached to his name.  We have not assembled all of this DE talent for nothing.  I mean hell, even Wes Horton was getting good pressure last night.  Gettleman has too much savvy and too much talent to hand Greg Hardy 60/70plus million.

96 really flashed out there for me too, we're really deep at DE. Horton, he was in early too.

Also, there were a few people with high post numbers that overreacted and gathered a sheepish following.  A rookie struggles first couple of days of camp and mods are posting he is a possible bust.  The masses can't help but "chicken little" the website.

 

[Captain Morgan]

I agree with those who say Hardy won't be with us next season, but damn he is good,

and entering his prime.  

 

We can't afford everybody.   Someone will pay him, and they'll get what they paid for.

wait....someone was calling him the next everette brown?

Would rather have Hardy than CJ, although I love them both. Hardy just absolutely manhandled last years number 1 pick last night. He didn't get a sack but he was having his way with Fisher all night. Hardy's combo of speed, strength, and competitiveness make him a guy we can't afford to lose.

CJ is the consummate pro.  Shows up to work, doesnt complain, respected by everyone and will remain a Panther in 2015.  He may be asked to alter his contract, or he may not, but he wont be cut in order to keep Hardy.

probably some goon, you know they are everywhere around here.

[Chief Keek]

Whoever thought a Rookie DE is going to come in and dominate is foolish. Any impact he makes as a Rookie is icing on the cake. Kony is going to be a problem! #Kony2014

[ed bell]

He appears to be a hard worker that responds well to criticism. Pro conditioning, coaching, and weight training could do wonders for him. I'm very optimistic now.

No, I think Jeremy noted his spin moves early in camp reminded him of Everette and everyone went all OH NOES, HE'S A BUST.
