This.
He has God-given talent, plus a desire to succeed.
Some guys like Randy Moss and Julius Peppers have the talent to be the GOAT. But they have no desire.
Hardy has the potential to reach Jerry Rice or Reggie White status

I don't even know if it's a desire to succeed as much as a crazy mofo out there trying to knock someone's head off. He seems to genuinely enjoy the game of football and plays with a gladiator mentality. Luke shows the same passion, though not as crazy.

He did draw some White comparisons when he was at Ole Miss. I'm not gonna crown him after one season but he's a very talented, athletic and versatile DE. I still remember that Alabama game in which he practically dominated wherever he lined up (and the Tide had one of the best OLs in college football at the time).

Somebody doesn't know what "potential" means. Glad you chimed in so we all could know it's you.

Like I said, I wouldn't go all ape crap over his stats. It's the way he plays the game - a mean, crazy SOB that will knock your QB into oblivion if given half the chance. A crazy cat like that on the DL, plus a crazy cat like that at MLB (check with Luke), and a crazy cat like that at Safety (still looking for that one - man I miss Chris Harris) makes you dangerous at all levels on defense.

I was really digging Hardy all season, but it was that game where he was crying afterwards (can't remember which) and you could just tell he was putting everything he had into it... followed by him calling out the Failcons and talking smack all week leading up to the game, claiming we were the better team... and then proceeding to shut their offense out for the entire first half.

Yeah, I'm a Krakenite now.

This dude is legit. Maybe crazy as fug, but legit nonetheless.

This place cracks me up. If Hardy starts out slow this year, half of this forum will be calling for his head.

yep, fanatics need to get a grip sometimes...

[BigSyke]

he can be as good as he wants to be.

In the draft, if a gm can hit 35% of the time with impact players, he is doing good but 50% then you have a genius. So Burney wasn't bad he just didn't know how to value players which cost us to.lose out in fa.

Compared to most GMs, Hurney drafted very well in the 1st round and the last couple of rounds. In pretty much every other aspect of the job he was bad.
