Greg Hardy 15 Sacks

[shelbypanther]

Nice to see Joo-Lee-Us poo the bed in Chicago again.  Forced the fumble GB ran in and had that intelligent look on his face.  Priceless.

[MtnJax]

So, 15 is 30% of the 50 sacks Hardy said he would get this year. So, whatever he asks for, take 30% off Gettleman

[The Huddler]

Those that accuse gettleman of being stingy are junping the gun. He claims to pay players what they are worth. Some act like gettleman wont give out huge contracts. Its been one season and gettleman was stuck with horrific cap position. We'll be out of it soon, and we will see what we really have in DG.

He said fifteen not fifty. Duh!!!! Anyways I always thought he was talking about the defense as a whole getting fifty. Mission accomplished!!

[TheRumGone]

what i love most about Hardy is he gives praise to everybody around him before himself even with his crazy proclamations before the season.

 

and did anybody else notice going around to every defensive player on the sidelines after that big stop?

I know it's easy to sit here now and say we shoulda have locked Hardy up early, but DG's plan all along was to have a dominant DL.

He double dipped in the draft, brought in solid rotation guys.

DG must have really not been sold on Hardy at all before the season. Because with all the other pieces, Hardy was going to have his opportunities. He's made the most of them the last few weeks and really has bit us in the ass.

This guy has all the talent in the world and when his head is in it he can be as good as he wants. 5 weeks ago I would have been ok letting him walk. But after the NO game and yesterday, I don't know of we can afford to let him walk.

 

At that point none of us was ready to break the bank on Hardy. Like C.J he started off slowly and then eventually exploded, it happens all the time in the NFL. He had a good season last season, but consistency pays off and its looking he's going to be consistent for a few more years

[Jackofalltrades]

Too bad I haven't been able to update my profile sig in 6 weeks.

[NanceUSMC]

For the record, it's not a matter of not WANTING to pay the man, it's a matter of not being ABLE to pay the man...  We'll just have to see how it pans out, but it sounds like he wants to be here, and i'm sure the FO wants him to be...  So we'll just have to see if they're able to come to a common ground on compensation...

So, 15 is 30% of the 50 sacks Hardy said he would get this year. So, whatever he asks for, take 30% off Gettleman

 

No, take 70% off.

Think GHardy will take the leagues sack record next year, could prolly even beat out LTs year that was before they counted sacks as a stat... Please keep Hardy in a Panther uniform... ~ques Teddy KGB~

Yeah that's why I said it's easy to sit here now and say that. Like I said up until these last few weeks I was fine with letting him walk.

It's not a talent issue with him, I just didn't know if it would all click. It's awesome that it looks like it has all clicked now but its going to hurt when it comes to negotiating.

I like the season Kracken has put together, but we don't need a Sean Gilbert 2.0.

[KillaCamNewton]

Have to pay the man at this point. Hes 25 i think and he along with star can solidify this D-Line for a long time. He plays with a huge motor and seems like he would run through a wall for rivera

[Jackofalltrades]

In a division with 3 good opposing QB's and having a team that depends on pressure from it's front four we can't afford NOT to re-sign Hardy.

 

It's really that simple. We've seen flashes from Alexander, Addison and Horton, but Hardy is a monster in every facet of the game. He's disciplined and very stout against the run, is hell on QB's and has played as a gunner in punt coverage.
