Hardy?

So now she actually changed his whole personality and turned him into the guy he is now?

Dang. That's some serious mind-warping.

How long were they together again?

Scot, I was referring to perceptions.

We all knew Hardy wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer long before anybody heard of Nicole Holder.

A fan petition?

The Panthers may be the only team that would get praise for bringing back their prodigal son. 

Those saying he "beat that woman" are the naive ones. I'm 220lbs and if GH "beat" me I'd be a lot more hurt than she was or maybe in the hospital. It wasn't a beating, stop it. 

He was on the team and actually suited up for game 1 until...

I'd let Thomas Davis be his mentor, if he'd do it and I'd limit his media interaction for obvious reasons

It's not a fuging matter of Hardy being a questionable person in the NFL...  Go back to the first time you quoted me, and re-read what I had to say about giving people another chance.  Society today is ultra sensitive to certain issues.  That poo haunted Dallas all year long.  His actions while there, were just icing on the cake.  You're blind if you can't see what bringing him here would do to this team.  All these fuging activist groups blowing us up every single fuging day, likely trying to cause boycotts and protests.  The media, and not just ours but national, tirelessly wanting to talk about it to our players/coaches, every single day.  Extra, unneeded, unwanted attention, all the fuging time, and you think it wouldn't have a toll on our players, coaches, and the locker room?  Bullshit.  It did the first time, and it would the next time.  Doesn't matter how "professional" our guys are, that poo takes a huge toll on people, because at the end of the day, they're still human.

Believe what you want to. I believe that the Panthers as an organization, and more importantly as players, are a remarkably strong group, able to withstand criticism.

Not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, and just being dumb, are two totally different things. Hardy was sounding surprisingly intelligent on his little tv circuit.

Thomas Davis, "Greg Hardy (Jr) is a guy you flat out want on your football team."

Given how much backlash his interviews keep generating, I'm not so sure how "intelligent" he sounds.

I like to think with the role models we have on this team can keep Hardy in line. 

Yeah, that is the thing....coaches, players, staff have to put in a lot to work for Hardy.

Not a matter of can everyone babysit him....but should they.  I'd rather them worry about other things like they did this past season

Every see Hardy's rap video? Here ya go.....

I know Hardy isn't the brightest crayon in the box, but he knows this is probably his last chance at an NFL career.  I don't think players will have to babysit him.

That's now that the rails have fallen off. But, of course, I was talking about before that dark night ever happened.

Anyone who doesn't admit that he was making progress here just doesn't want to see it, or is more interested in making a point.

If he were truly making progress, then why did he end up putting himself in the situation he did?

Nobody put a gun to his head and forced him to use poor judgement and make bad decisions. He did that all on his own.

The ultimate responsibility for everything that happened to Hardy is his own, not everybody else's.
