Because the NFL has rules and follows through with them. You don't like it I don't like it But yet here we are.

No one has ever told me he was asked to stay away, nor has it ever been reported in the media to my knowledge. You know, they thought Hardy could have been back at one point when is trial had a November date. Asking him not to come around is highly unlikely.

Should we have them post pictures?

Nope, not at all. I expected him to take the money and party, which he did. Then again, I'm not the one trying to argue paid leave is punishment.

How do u know he wasn't there. I've been told by inside the org. Yeah but how do you really know. OK, now I'm really done.

I don't think people should be called something they don't want to be called.

Sticking their necks out? Good lord. They are asked if they want Hardy back. They say yes. Guess what, they will say the same about Byron Bell and Thomas DeCoud as well. In fact, they will say that for any single player on the roster.

Ive asked.

Too depressed from his terrible punishment of getting paid 13 million for nothing i guess. Life, it's rough.

Why didn't he attend a single workout if his love for the game and the team is what you say it is. Just an hour. A single workout. Why not?

Hardy looked pretty sad in his rap video. You know, that other career he worked on while away that made him pretty happy. Happy enough not to be seen at the facilities all season. Wait, if he was missing football and his team so much... Why not show up and lift weights and such. Too heartbroken I imagine. Would be embarrassed to be seen crying.

How many players are stepping up and willing to take pay cuts to bring Hardy back? A good number I imagine. A reporter asks a player if he wants Hardy back. That player says yes. What do you think he is supposed to say? No, we don't want Greg back? When have you ever heard a NFL player say that about another NFL player. Honestly every Hardy thread turns into a pissing match between reason and those so emotionally invested in the issue they see anything less than Hardy is a super great guy and will play for free is seen as hate. I'm done.

Oh lord.

It's well within the right of the NFL to suspend Hardy if those transcripts show misconduct. You don't like it, I don't like it, but it's reality.

Didn't look like Hardy was having too bad of a time this year....

Yeah, well, shut up.

The nfl doesn't take such things into consideration sadly.

If your work sends you home for a year with total pay would you see it as punishment?

Props to u sir.

Biscuit had a weakness when it comes to the female form. That weakness could be used to infiltrate the huddle by Saints report.

He hasn't had any unpaid time off yet.

He always has. He doesn't like being called Philly so I stopped.

Suspension incoming.....

Player number changes make my life more difficult. Thanks for the catch.

Sometimes a photo is a snapshot of a moment, but sometimes it is a glimpse into the future. Here are 10 photos of the 2014 Carolina Panthers Training camp that have somewhat of a different meaning today. Cam Newton struggles to get situated as he is protected by Amini Silatolu and Nate Chandler. Silatolu and Chandler both ended the season on IR. Both were replaced by players who out performed them. (Remmers and Norwell) Then Special Teams Assistant Bruce Dehaven has been promoted to Special Teams Coordinator, replacing Richard Rodgers. I remember being impressed with Dehaven's demeanor throughout camp. He is hands on and vocal. Bene Benwikere stands confidently in front of Charles Godrey and poses. Benwikere finished the season as one of the highest rated corners in the league as a rookie. Godfrey was released after failing to perform at nickel adequately. Jericho Cotchery signals towards Brenton Bersin. Berin rose above many others in camp and contributed last season with key first down catches. Bersin did struggle in punt returns, but in all fairness he should have never been put in that position. Deangelo Williams embraces Greg Hardy. At the time, no one knew Hardy would only play a single game in 2014. Both Hardy and Deangelo are unlikely to be on the Panthers roster in 2015. Cam Newton receives encouragement from Ken Dorsey after a rough practice. Cam Newton had a rough year, literally. He was roughed up more than any other season due to inadequate line play early. How he is feeling in this photo must have continued well into the 2014 season. Derek Anderson and Kelvin Benjamin develop a chemistry. Without this chemistry, the Panthers could have lost at least one game this season (in Tampa). Getting the backup QB snaps with the starting wide outs is never a bad move. The Panthers face a March without a left tackle. If they allow Byron Bell to become a free agent, there are left with literally no one that could adequately protect Cam Newton's blind side. Cam Newton celebrates a touchdown with rookie Corey Brown. Brown emerged as the Panthers only deep threat this season and provided two much needed touchdowns late in the season. Luke Kuechly intercepts a Cam Newton pass. Kuechly's interception against the Bucs sealed the game and kept the Panthers in the division title hunt. Without it, the Panthers could possibly have missed the playoffs entirely. There you have it, 10 photos from training camp 2014 that have a different meaning today. As always, I will be covering the action through the lens again in 2015 and providing even more extended bonus content to the All-Pro section.
