Haven't posted in a few days, here is something positive!

I want you guys to take a look at this page of rookies and tell me what you see:

http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?archive=false&conference=null&statisticPositionCategory=DEFENSIVE_LINEMAN&season=2010&seasonType=REG&experience=0&tabSeq=1&qualified=true&Submit=Go

What I see is this...

Suh and Alualu, two top ten picks, have been playing well. Hardy, who is a 6th rounder, has been playing just as well though, and with much less playing time.

Hardy is 1 tackle behind Alualu and just 7 behind Suh.

Hardy is .5 sacks behind Alualu and just 2 behind Suh.

Hardy and Alualu have 0 interceptions while Suh just got his first.

Hardy is the only one with a forced fumble.

Hardy is the only one with a safety.

Mccoy who was picked number 3 overall right behind Suh is being outplayed by Hardy.

Hardy is outplaying Pierre-Paul who has much more help.

Derick Morgans year is a wash since he is injured and will miss the rest of it.

Basically, we currently have the second best DE in the draft and got him in the 6th round and get to pay him much much less for a few years.

Well done!

Thanks for sharing, but I just can't get excited about stats and individual rankings, such as Godfrey's INT's, etc. I'm unable to see any silver lining. Five weeks in and the season is over.

I hope Hardy turns into something special.

A couple years with NFL training will hopefully make him a true monster instead of this hint of a monster we currently see.

If we played in the west we would still have a shot at the division!

The point of this stuff is to sort of say, hey, look what we can build on going forward. We are getting equal or better production out of a guy who was drafted in the sixth round, compared to a guy who went tenth overall. Even Norwood has close to the same amount of tackles as Mccoy who went third overall.

Let Hardy play more. During the last game I had to ask myself after Hardy made a nice play where he was going to be soon. If you notice, Fox has a thing with taking him out quickly shortly after he makes a nice play. I fail to understand the logic. Hardy gets a sack? Hardy sits for two drives. Hardy gets a safety? Hardy sits for a series.

This is a sad time for Panther fans..

There are some positives this season.

Gettis is looking like he may be that lost 2nd receiver we've been dying for.

Hardy looks capable. and scary. Like, very scary. I fear he's going to kill someone, holy crap.

Godfrey shows improvement in the passing game but still has to make some go of it.

Our LB core is beasting it up in general.

Pugh had a nice play yesterday, and maybe we'll see some more out of him in the future.

Hardy will be a force for years to come. I just hope he stays focused and matures a little more.
