Per J.Jones.Very confusing this whole affair.Vikings send out a press release saying that he will play.Would this also influence Hardys status? We will see.Impossible to predict what the team will do with him..now, tomorrow or next month...who the hell cares anymore.

If they bench Hardy until his court date.....that would mean he misses more games than he would face if the new outlined punishment was enforced.

So Hardy will be back at some point soon I would imagine. NFLPA will flex some of their muscle in all this too.

Teams probably need that to come to light too

How are the Panthers going to explain Hardy starting now.. You can't say due process because that's why he started against Tampa. The Panthers are gonna have to come up with something creative if they want Hardy back on the field. 

 

Vikings say Adrian Peterson will play this week. Now the Panthers are on deck to stick finger in the air to see which way wind's blowing.

The Panthers FO would have to do some serious PR work this week if they expect to play Hardy on Sunday.

 

 

I personally think there is no chance he plays, especially in the biggest primetime game of the week.

 

As I've said elsewhere, I would like to see a six game suspension (including yesterday) and then he comes back.

 

As Florio points out though, Hardyand the NFLPA would have a case against that.

 

It's all fugged up right about now.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.

      They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.

      Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
