yes ANOTHER Hardy thread, who cares...

 

anyway, apparently he is still on the agenda which makes me further think he has not taken his last snap as a panther. Frank Alexander, who knows... Just reading between the lines, it seems Greg will be back after Nov 17 regardless of the outcome. thus he will be back on our bye week. Looking ahead, I think we run the table for the remaining games after the bye so we must win at least 2 of the next 5 at minimum for that solid Playoff spot. I'm calling it 10-5-1 but I'm not sure if that will be a #2 or 3 seed. Hopefully my assumptions are correct

also I think the saints finish 8-8 and the falcons finish 5-11 giving one loss to tampa. tampa is laughable at this point but will beat the falcons.

People keep looking too much into Rivera's words.

 

Appropriate time = after his trial is over with and when he is permitted to return.

 

Nothing more, nothing less.  Hardy isn't coming back until his trial is finished.

Realistically, the way this team is playing....8 wins should be the goal.  Green Bay, Seattle, New Orleans (poo or not, still have Brees).

 

Hardy?  Not happening.  His case will get pushed back and he wont play for this team again.

Honestly I would love to have Greg back in November. He allegedly committed a misdemeanor and it got blown out of proportion. It feels like the punishment doesn't fit the alleged crime at this point. 

 

The problem is, if we bring him back and we are 1.5 games under .500, the media will accuse us of putting winning over women. So we have to win or the poo storm will double.

Pretty sure it's up to Goodell when he comes back, right?  He chooses who goes on the list, and when they come back, if I'm not mistaken.  I don't think the Panthers' have any say in the whole deal.

 

Greg is on the list "voluntarily". If he demands his job back and the league declines he can seek legal action. But that's not a good look for him with no long term contract.

Blame the media, who was on a witchhunt after the Ray Rice video went public. Hardy would still be on the field any other year, and rightfully so. Maybe it helps us though. Maybe Kraken comes back in Dec, fresher, hungrier,and angrier than everybody else.

I'd love for Hardy to come back...but...

 

1. Imagine the media poo storm (right or not)

2. He's currently collecting checks for doing nothing. His value as a FA is already on the decline because of his legal case. So, why come back, maybe play at a sub-par level or get hurt, and risk it even further? 

 

 

The only way Hardy comes back (IMO) is if the Panthers are in serious playoff contention towards the end of the year, and JR makes the executive decision that bolstering up for a Super Bowl run is worth the media backlash.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
