Thats MY point... ZERO balls by our FO...

 

Not once did they clarify their stance....

 

it basically was "we are forced into this-- it sucks-- there is no rule book"  WTFE

 

 

Funny-- San Fran is abasically saying FU everyone we are going to do us- and guess who they are not talking about in the media...

 

 

San Fran....

 

 

Panthers = NO Back Bone...

 

If they find hardy guilty i will eat my words and feel like a huge piece of poo, but at ;least i am not willing to throw my own under the bus before he gets to prove his innocence.

 

and for those who think now we can move on, you ALL are mistaken. This crap will be brought up every sunday regarless.

 

enjoy!

I think they would have if he hadn't agreed to this.

 

Gettleman made clear that the Panthers weren't going to do it.  But with all the heat that's on them right now (even more after today's news about Brandon Marshall) they clearly want Hardy out of the spotlight.

 

 

 

If the NFL suspended him, it would have been without pay.  Getting him to agree to it with pay (and probably an agreement to stay out of the spotlight) works better for the league.

 

 

And I'm saying if they did I think they'd get an immediate appeal by the NFLPA.

The way it was handle actually made the FO look bad.The press conference didn't help. Their PR person obvious didn't prepare them. They did Hardy a favor he is still getting paid. He put him self in this situation. I have a question; everyone feels he will be found not guilty in November what will your opionion of him and the organization be if he is found guilty.

Saying "suspension was never on the table for us" is a pretty clear statement of their stance.

 

 

 

Ok-- so what you are staying is ou FO is incapable of running their own team and we are only puppets of the NFL front office..

 

Get it...

 

I think that was my POINT the WHOLE time..... Aprreciate it!!!!

Which keeps the story in the news, exactly what the League doesn't want.

 

Gettleman said the team was definitely not going to suspend him (specifically said suspension "was not on the table") so the League then comes to Hardy and the team and says "Look, you're going away one way or the other.  You want it paid or unpaid?"  Hardy wisely chooses 'paid'.

 

 

That makes sense.  Surely, avoiding the NFLPA has something to do with it, right?

 

Definitely.

Cut and that they/NFL still mishandled it. Because they just released the new policy of 6 games for first time offenders and if this gets done timely he'll get 10.

He gets punished more just because the organization bent the knee to the mob.

Total BS. Since when does public pressure and anger dictate an individual's rights?

They said the suspension wasn't coming from the team....they didn't bail out on him as the OP suggests. GMan saying that shows the opposite in fact.

Sent from my iPhone

 

Yet at the same time they did NOTHING to stand by their guy or to SHOW that support.

 

They could have put some information out there about the process, took time to discuss the difference between the Hardy case and RR or AP, but NO.... Not once.

 

it was just "The climiate is changing- Greg decided to do this (which makes us look even MORE inept) and we want to move on....there is no rule book."

 

ALL WE DID WAS embarass ourselves in public.... AGAIN...

 

BS FO move....

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
