Could Hardy be holding out?

[CRA]

answer my question.

None...bc we have had any yet.

How many vague excuses have been given for any starter from last year being a no show at the voluntary practices?

Again, not a big issue. Just makes you realize Hardy is a window where many choose to make a business move....and maybe it could be tied to that

he's missed two OTAs. two. just two. that's all. why would he be going at all if he was going to hold out? 

 

people reading way too much into it, but hey....you got to get your drama somewhere.

You aren't holding out when you miss voluntary workouts.  He has a secure spot and isn't fighting for a job.  Could he be sending a message?  Yeah.  But unless he holds out of a mandatory mini-camp this week, he is not doing anything that he isn't entitled to do.  Truth is that right now he has no leverage and would be foolish to sit out. Then again he isn't known for being too cerebral and it has been intimated that he isn't exactly a conventional thinker to put it mildly.

his leash is probably looser than others on the team. they know he puts in the work. they know he knows his job. that's all that really matters. not all children or employees or people have to be handled the same way. lt doesn't matter if he misses a day or two of VOLUNTARY workouts or really misses much in mandatory workouts...which he's done nothing to show he's likely to do. 

 

just too much being read into this.

Maybe he suddenly realized he was risking his body....and thought differently.

Maybe he wanted to show how good he was (and go too hard)....to give the coaching staff one last taste....and then sits.

Maybe he had explosive diarrhea and sat.

Again, I wouldn't call it drama. Even if he had attended and you where forced to make a list of guys most likely to holdout (even though none stood out).....he would have to be first on that list.

coaches may have pulled him and told him to take the week off after watching him tear into some scrubs?

Steve Smith goes harder than anyone. He is more irreplaceable and older.

That could of happened....but I doubt he was told he shouldn't be at OTAs bc he goes to hard

if greg was breaking the no-contact rules...then maybe.   i don't see smitty out there punching teammates in the mouth yet.

[bleys]

This thread would be infinitely more interesting if some of you cats stepped in the boxing ring. Maybe knock some sense in you

Greg has always gone his own way.  Nothing bothers me about not being at every ota.

[Harris Aballah]

I believe he deserves a fair contract and will get it. He's a signifigant piece of the puzzle and that's why most of us fans are nervous concerning his future. But I'm sure the panther staff has the same concerns. The team doesn't want him to go. The fans don't want him to go. & it seems that he don't want to go either. So if taking it easy in the off seasons more his style. Then give him some space. He always seems to show up when he's needed. So I'm considering this thread a non-issue.

[sharonmcmillion]

NO he is NOT holding out because it's not his style
