Can Hardy play the DT?

Sure they do. I'm not going to link every article and every youtube clip from the past 8 months but it's pretty much a known thing they were disappointed in Fua and hopeful for McClain.

SO WRONG

[csx]

On special passing situations yes. In general, no.

He's a DE who has struggled badly against the run.

the huddle said that, not the panthers.

Overall, Rivera has been extremely pleased with the play of both rookies, while acknowledging the Panthers have had to "take some punches like a little brother." Still, Rivera believes the experience they gained playing as rookies will be huge for the Panthers in coming years.

Do I need to link the entire internets? You guys read the same stuff I do, why is this Chinese to you?

This does nothing to prove your point, he was pleased with BOTH rookies. This not proclaim McClain to be the cure of our DT woes. Keep going.

Rivera (or any coach) would be stupid to throw players under the bus. Wasn't he also pleased with Armanti Edwards?

You will NEVER find a quote by Marty, Rivera, or JR to confirm this.

Yeah because it was probably made 7 months ago and I'm not gonna dig through hours of interviews to find it.

Ok then it didn't happen. Look man I think the will be the guy at that spot too, but I was wondering if you had any information that led to you stating that he was the guy, because I have heard nothing of the sort.

This is the only thing that anyone can find remotely similar to that comment and it is reversed.

"Rivera said Fua had "probably his best game" against Indianapolis while McClain struggled.

"(McClain has) kind of hit a little wall the last couple games, and we're starting to see Sione play a little better," Rivera said. "He was effective. He had two good pressures this game."

Yeah I'm sure it was audio interview, possibly on the radio. What you linked doesn't really contradict anything as it's his opinion of a couple games mid to late in the season. We can deduce that Sione is playing better and McClain is playing worse but they aren't compared to each other. Rather they are compared to their own past performance.

Basically as I remember it McClain has some tools. Mainly his quickness. While Fua is JAG.

I should be able to post my thoughts on an internet message board without providing three forms of ID and 2 sources.

You can post your own opinion, but you included the Panthers opinion without sourcing on a completely false claim. Two of them actually. The article that I posted, as I stated, is the only thing similar to this comparison bullshit you are talking about made by anyone from the Panthers. I'm sure that you just can't find it, yeah that's it. The point is what you have stated is not just your opinion and is simply poo on a wall at this point.

[MasterAwesome]

Yeah I don't remember any such piece of media about the Panthers being "disappointed in Fua and hopeful for McClain". It's pretty foolish to act condescending to someone who calls you out on it, and then immediately post an article in "support" of your claim, which just says that Rivera is pleased with BOTH rookies....which wasn't even your point at all.

Of course you're going to get backlash for making a pretty significant claim like that and not backing it up. Most people who spend their time on these forums are Panthers enthusiasts, so we're always looking for some new info...especially if it's a perspective from inside the organization. I can't just go around saying "Rivera said in an interview that Armanti Edwards is the most talented receiver on our roster" and expect people to take my word for it.

He might work out as UT in certain packages. No way he could go 60 minutes.
