CJ or Krack?

[weymouthst]

I like Hardy, but if he thinks we are going to pay him huge money then I think he is sorly mistaken. We can get along with out him. When the time comes, I think we will offer him a fair deal, and if he doesn't take it, eff him.

Time to see who wants to be along for the ride. Hurney made STUPID deals with players. I think that our new GM needs to come in and clean that up, including restructuring contracts, letting players walk, and set us up for the future. CJ money was crazy, DWill money was insane, even JStew was a bit too much.

You also see way too much talent coming out of college these days. Being able to draft young players under the new CBA makes it possible to not have to pay out the azz for players who may or may not succeed. So when the time comes for Hardy to walk or stay, I really don't care. He isn't going to get paid. He will get a fair shake.

I think that we can find a way to keep them both...

[TheMaulClaw]

I'm not a hundred percent sure whether we can keep them both or not...It really depends on what we decide to do this off season. The right thing to do would be to cut or restructure both Gross and Gamble. Everyone says that Gamble is a top five corner but I just don't see it. I've seen him get beat a lot especially on the underneath and comeback routes. I'd be fine with some younger corners if we had a solid pass rush.....that's what we did during our Superbowl run. We had Pep and Ruck with Terry Cousin and Ricky Manning JR. Get a good rush and play press coverage, and find a good safety to pair with Godfrey.

you find a way to keep them both.

period.

...and yes, hardy will cost the panthers just as much as johnson.

[Mage]

Hardy is great but Johnson is clearly better if that is what is being asked.

Or if you are actually talking about who we'd have to choose between the two when Hardy's contract runs out, it is either re-sign Hardy or not re-sign Hardy. You can't get rid of CJ.

1. It'd be dumb to.

2. Cutting him would be quite illogical considering the cap ramifications

[Jackofalltrades]

Hardy for the sake of youth and productivity. However, I don't think it's going to come to that.
