So........... was keeping Hardy worth all this?

Depends on if we can get him signed long term. If we can, yes. If we just windup paying for for next year then he's gone, no.

[Dex]

its a simple question. everyone cried about losing him, then keeping him, now we have him, and the reality is setting in about the lack of bread. no doubt he's a skilled player but all players can be replaced... and will be.... obviously.

I have no problem with keeping Hardy. Does that answer your question muffintops?

Lol at this thread.

lol at those that doubt handle break ups... I'm helping them get over the hurt. lol

[MechaZain]

If it was that simple then yeah. It's not so no.

Smith isn't about money, the one year guys weren't coming back, they outplayed what the team was going to pay them. The only thing Hardy does is limit the team going after a lt, but thy can still get around it if they feel a free agent is a fit.

[cbully]

even if we let Hardy walk, we wouldnt have signed anyone in FA yet.. Panthers always take til week 2 to make any moves.. i cant even remember that last FA we signed out of the gates.. Kemo maybe?

and that sir is why we are the Panthers! it has been too many changes for this to continue to be of way of acting in this business... I'm really not feeling 2005-2007 again and mos def not 2009-2012. smh sad years

Absolutely. This isn't even up for debate. 

 

Hardy>Guys we are losing.

 

Our front 7 is monstrous and only going to get better. Keeping Hardy was key. We can plug and play guys in the secondary for another year. The offense will be addressed as well. Losing Hardy changes the entire dynamic of the defense.

[Panthro]

yes

I hope the front 7 can get a ton of pick-sixes and fumbles returned for TDs, or they need to catch passes, block, you know, that whole point-scoring thing that Gettleman seems to have forgotten is necessary.

 

Does this dick think you get 6 points every time Hardy gets a sack?

[Doc Holiday]

Premium pass rushers are worth it. DLo and Stew contracts, not so much.

 

Pretty much this, those contracts are hurting us far more then Hardy, at least Hardy the last two years has been sorely underpaid and has produced and is going into the prime of his career.

 

Hardy also has one of those personalities where you arent really worried that he might bank it in after getting paid

Gettleman's been with this team only one whole year and is an esteemed executive in this league. It says a lot about the former front office if this is real and nobody's noticed anything wrong
