Exempt List

After a lot of the commotion has settled I've been trying to think about what this exempt list move actually means. I came to the conclusion that it's a good thing for our organization in regards to having Hardy on the team in the future. It shows that either Gettleman is going to at least attempt to keep Hardy beyond this season, or he believes we will get a favorable verdict and will get something out of Hardy later in the season. If neither of those were possible then why not just cut him and terminate his contract?

 

What say you?

If he has no intention of trying to keep him a Panther then why not release him and let him be a problem for another team?

He can have zero intention of keeping him after this year.

We release a stud we are paying that could game back fresh and healthy as we near playoff time?

we are paying him anyway so might as well see how things pan out. wouldn't want to pay him for playing on the team we play in the Superbowl.

this.

 

getts has thoughts of hardy coming back this season.  even with new policy the punishment is only 6 games for DV.  hardy will sit more than that between now and his court date, but i see no reason why he shouldn't come back if found not guilty in early november.  he is getting paid to be on this team.  if he's innocent his ass needs to be on the field.  

 

next season is a no go though.

So you think that if he's found guilty he will still play football this season?

 

I have a hard time believing he plays another snap with a guilty verdict.

I think it means that neither the team nor the league wants to get held legally accountable for denying Hardy his salary if/when he is found innocent. The court of public opinion is just one of the courts that is playing a roll in these decisions.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
