PFT: NFL may suspend Hardy

Previously, the NFL had decided not to penalize Hardy because Hardy’s legal case has not been resolved. He still hasn’t had a trial before a jury; his trial before a judge was under North Carolina criminal procedure was so preliminary and cursory that a transcript isn’t prepared unless the defendant chooses to hire a court reporter. (In this case, Hardy did.)

If I had to guess, I think the NFLPA will intervene if he is suspended without pay. They'll argue that nothing has changed with the facts of the case or Hardy's legal status, so why suspend him now instead of months ago? And I think they have a case honestly. 
 
Sucks for the team, they'll have to deactivate him but still pay him $770k per game.

You have the Vikings playing AP and the Niners with a guy who beat his wife in front of other people (aka multiple witnesses) and the NFL is going to go after the guy with the least evidence against him (aside from a biased guilty verdict that was completely based on hearsay, unreliable testimony, and conjecture). This is a joke.

Vikings & 49ers aren't a threat to their golden boy Peyton winning a SB.

Panthers are a big threat.

Frankly, I barely care anymore.

 

Yes, he may be getting railroaded by media pressure. On the other hand, after agreeing to take $13 million of the Panther's money, he chose to hang out with a coked up woman, let her into his house, show off his guns, etc.

 

I'm not one to criticize any one of the above behaviors depending on the context. But when you've just been paid that kind of money, the least you could be expected to do is act responsibly, And no one can argue he was acting responsibly.

 

The person to get pissed at is Hardy. Not the judge, not the fuged up media, not the league office.

We certainly now know he's not the smartest person, that is for sure.

I hope the NFLPA does get involved.  Let the media poo on them for awhile.  

 

This is a case where they can actually stand up for one of their members and fulfill their function as a union, but they have done nothing.

Hardy put himself in a bad situation but at this point it's "he said she said." The primary witness for the prosecution it sounds like is someone making a phone call from a different unit. Holder didn't go to the hospital immediately following the incident and there are no injuries on file (again just what I heard). That said...if the NFL suspends Hardy for something based on ESPN outcry and he is found not guilty by a jury he is going to have a mega lawsuit against them and ESPN for defamation among other things...

ESPN IMO has done a piss poor job of covering both sides of this story. But then again...if you did that you just wouldn't have as juicy a story. I have no clue if Hardy committed a crime or not...that is what is supposed to be determined during a trial. Seems like that is something that society has basically thrown to the side in certain issues.

Hardy definitely made some stupid decisions, and I was pretty sure this was his last year as a Panther even if this hadn't happened...but if he's innocent then I want his services to our team for this season. Media hype and flaming shouldn't direct how this thing goes, but of course thats how it always works.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
