Report: Panthers Not Expected To Bring Back Hardy

[SOJA]

that isn't sarcasm I'm reading is it?? Just wanted to check cause you know it's a little hard to always get sarcasm on MBs....

 

 

Voth reported that Hardy wouldn't be back in a Panthers uniform as early as Sep or Oct. Jeremy is friends with and logically trusts Voth as he has a really good handle on our organization. 

 

So yes that post was sarcasm. 

[WOW!!]

and we moved on just fine from that, just like we'll move on just fine from this.

Yeah we really moved on from that..

[Moose87Banks]

Yeah, well until G-Man comes out says that they are moving on from Hardy I don't believe any bullshit anyone else tells me. I could care less what they decide to do. We could get someone for 10 million dollars cheaper and and use that money to sign more vets that are worth it. He's going to want Charles Johnson money, it's what he has wanted all along. If any of you think otherwise....you're fools.

No, not all. All I couldn't be more sincere. I mean, I have been telling everyone since training camp last year that Hardy would not be back in 2015... but I never believed it.

"Never"

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhocking.

Beat me to it

For those complaining, I'd say this has a lot more to do with Hardy's lack of judgment and his general attitude during his 'paid vacation' than it does his trial.

[WOW!!]

If the boat is in the Atlantic, you just jumped into the Pacific. Regardless of the outcome of Hardy's trial, the guy has consistently proven to be a headcase that you don't give $80 million to.

I, for one, am not going to claim to know his status in the locker room, but is it not telling that not one player spoke out for Hardy during this whole mess?

Baltimore should have left Ray Lewis go, I'd much rather cheer for an organization that values humanity over winning. Life is greater than football.

2 super bowl later I think they are ok with their decision..

[Growl]

Our defense "came together" against garbage teams with garbage offense (excepting NO and Atlanta, who were both in a state of complete disarray by that point). I like the potential in our defense, and we still have a star in Luke and a solid DL. But our DL goes from being elite with Hardy, to being solid without him.

No excuse not to bring him back unless it's just too expensive. And it doesn't appear whether he's too expensive or not is a question they're willing to look into. The Panthers' handling of this situation has been pure shameful.

It isn't as if we've got a 10 year player in CJ either. This puts in a predicament in both the immediate and far future.

Of course I didn't expect us to bring him back, but it is rather embarrassing that we as a franchise can't stand by our guy.

I'm positive it's just a money issue.

[PantherPhann89]

I think we should try to keep Hardy. Try to restructure Johnson to make it possible to keep them both. If this is not possible, I'd trade Johnson out of the NFC South...

[TheRed]

Whole thing is a mess. I don't really care if he comes back or not at this point, just make a decision and be done with it.

[Gin and Juice]

I just hope he doesn't end up in Atlanta, Tampa, or NO..

This is like losing Pep all over again. .

We lost Hardy a year ago! People, that ship sailed and realist have long ago accepted he was done as a Panther!

[WOW!!]

Don't worry guys Elite Pass Rushers just fall out of the trees in NC.

[Mr Mojo Risin]

ealy/addison and maybe another DE in the draft will pick up the slack.

See I don't think this is going to be good enough. Mario is a good situational pass rusher but he can't play the run all that well at all. I personally also think Ealy is going to need another year of grooming before we can expect him to be a solid contributor/starter. Adding another rookie to the mix imo again will just be another situational player. Maybe we can bring someone in from FA? Idk our dline definitely takes a few steps back without Hardy we gotta figure something out.
