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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
