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.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By NAS · Posted

      I find it funny those who continue to hate on Bryce based on his rookie year when he had zero weapons or offensive line have a problem with those of us projecting his career from the 8-9 games where he played like a top 10 QB and made more big time throws during that period than any other QB.  The stats may bot have been there in terms of yards or TD passes but that’s coming as the roster improves. For those who think physical traits can overcome roster deficiencies we all witnessed how Mahomes looked under pressure that Bryce faced for most of his rookie year, we saw what happened with Stroud in similar circumstances.  None of us were creating posts proclaiming Bryce as the next Brady but we can’t just sit idly while thread after thread is created continuing with the  anti Bryce tropes  instead of supporting him and just letting him continue to develop.

      To me Bryce's ceiling is his backup, Andy Dalton, in his prime.  Sure, he may get us some winning seasons and may even get us to the playoffs on occasion, but with an early exit.  To me he doesn't have what it takes to be elite and it takes an elite QB to consistently get deep into the playoffs.  He's not Jackson, he's not Mahomes and he's not even Allen.  In an organization like Philly, he possibly could have what it takes to make a deep run, but let's face it...Philly is well oiled machine and and we are a GMC Grimlin.

      If he was he would still be in the league.... Cam never learned to play QB without relying on his athletism and rocket arm.
