NFL: Greg Hardy won't be reinstated because he hasn't been disciplined yet

A year off WITH pay is NOT really a punishment.

They told him to either go on the Commissioners List with pay.....or be suspended. Hardy chose the CL.

Technicality.

But it seems that your argument is that since it wasn't the harshest penalty they could have evoked, it wasn't punishment at all. He had a choice of two punishments, and he chose the lesser of the two. That doesn't mean it isn't punishment

That is nonsense

No one is saying the NFL needs a court sentencing to punish people. What we are saying here is that the reason any disciplinary process was started at all was an allegation of which charges to that have since been dismissed.

 

But you (and others) are refusing to grasp that there was enough evidence for a judge to find him guilty.  Even though she did have a conflict of interest and should have recused herself from the trial, the fact that evidence was presented and a judge said guilt IS MORE THAN ENOUGH eveidence for the NFL to take a close look into what was presented.....even though the guilty verdict is superceded by a trial by jury.

 

Is Hardy guilty of everything that Holder accused him of?  Probably not.

 

Is Hardy completely innocent and did nothign wrong that night?  Probably not.

 

Will he be punished by the league?  Very likely....but I am willing to bet it is not 6 games.  More likely 2-3.

I understand what you are saying and do agree with you to an extent.  But, when the punishment would normally be 4-6 games without pay and he got 13 games WITH pay.  It is still not much of a punishment at all.

 

Not to mention that he was already playing under the Franchise Tag....which players hate.  Always a risk for injury.

 

13 games off with pay (no risk of injury) is much better than 6 games suspended without pay and then 7 games playing under a 1 year deal.

 

And it is "since"....not "sense".  :P

Yes they can. They just did with Peterson. Are you this slow? Hardy did agree to be put on it but he really had no other choice because if he said no he'd have just been suspended indefinitely.

NFL players have to consent and agree to be placed on it. They can resist if they want. Hardy believed that was his best option.

I'm just stating fact about the list

He likely agreed to it bc it secured him a paid vacation instead of facing you know.....punsihment of losing game day checks.

Ben Roethlisberger, 6 game suspension after the DA dropped the charges. It happens.

To be fair, if you follow what Hardy did while away it sounds like one hell of an extended vacation. Miami, music video, parties, etc.

You're a parent right?

You don't get to see your wife and kids grow up for an entire year. An entire year of precious time with them is taken away from you.

During that time you'll get paid though.

Is that punishment?

If you say no you should show that to your wife and kids.

Did you just try to compare...eh...nevermind. Even I won't tangle with that logic

I agree. The Panthers were punished, not Hardy.

Best case scenario now for the Panthers is for Hardy to avoid suspension, cash in on a bug time contract elsewhere, and give the Panthers a 3rd round 2016 pick.

Elsewhere being out of this division. .

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Icege · Posted

      One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.

      “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃
