Bucs,Lions,Steelers,Ravens first four games....one rotation D.E already suspended and our starting D.E probably looking at four games also.Secondary who has never played together except for the upcoming preseason. Very important for this team to start off strong and not get behind the eight ball early. A rookie will have to start along with Allison and Horton. I am hoping that R.R. and S.M. will pull something together to compensate for this problem. Here we are worrying that the offense will be struggling early due to the OL and a whole new WR corps, while our true strength will be playing with one arm tied behind it's back.What do YOU think they need to do.

I don't see Hardy getting a suspension until after the jury trial. It's not entirely impossible we have him for 16 games let him walk and then whatever chump gets him will have him suspended some games next season.

From what I have been reading he won't get that jury trial until early 2015.....doesn't happen over night. He was convicted and the Commish will want to make a statement (along with Rice).....no way they are waiting that long.

Call me fuging nuts but I'm just gonna say next man up and score more points than the other team. They're professional athletes and they need to adjust quick.

This..

I don't know what to think about Hardy's status. That whole NC bench trial first vs trial by jury muddies the water in regards to suspensions and NFLPA definition of fair and equitable ( just my .02 which may be way off). I think Alexander will be missed but can be back filled. Will hold out full comment until I know Hardy's status and Ealy's progression.

I think the talent we have outside of Hardy and Alexander can mask some holes so I don't think all is lost.

The commish almost has to wait. If they suspend Hardy and a jury finds him innocent then Hardy can sue.

I'm not sure...you really think they'll send down a suspension before the new trial? If he's found not guilty by the jury then essentially they just punished a man who was ultimately not convicted of a crime.

I have no idea how that works with the NFL. Just feels like they would wait until the entire process is finished.

Intersting..even with a conviction that is still the case? I'm not a lawyer, but I can see if he was accused (with no conviction in a court of law) of him being able to sue for damages.Hope you are correct for the teams sake.

If Goodell suspends Hardy now, then Hardy is found innocent by a jury, Rosenhaus/Hardy will sue the living crap out of Goodell & the NFL.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
