Around the Horn called for Hardy's suspension


Fiz

Recommended Posts

This is important because Around the Horn is the marquee editorial voice of the largest sports media organization in the world.

 

When they lean, they lean hard. 

 

Regardless of what you think about the case, nicole holder, the judge, or 300 years of jurisprudence, now the weight of public opinion is leaning on Jerry Richardson.

 

 

Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel.

Pardon the Interruption is also calling for it, suspension with pay.  Yet the thing I keep trying to grasp my head around is, they are essentially saying Hardy IS guilty.  They don't care about what was said in the trial or any of that.  They don't care that Hardy has a great chance of being found not guilty, I believe.  They are pretty much stating he's guilty.  I mean PTI even mentioned they read the transcripts, and they are horrified.  I'm asking myself 'Did they really read the transcripts?'.

Lol, what?

Hardy has appealed his case which your legally allowed to do. Goodell allegedly lied about the existence of damaging evidence. For the life of me I don't see how one has anything to do with the other.

 

You know for a fact that Goodell lied and he is not legally entitled a fair "hearing" like Hardy eh?

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
