If he's not guilty why would he not play in 2015? And if he is guilty why would his career be over? Brandon Marshall is still playing isn't he?

 

 

Hardy will be punished by the NFL even if he is found innocent imo. If he is found guilty, then I think he will be permanently banned from the NFL. Past player suspensions and rules will not prevent this from happening to Hardy in the new climate.

Isn't it in Hardy's best interest to play this year? If he takes the "can't play until the trial" deal, he won't get paid after this year. If he's not under contract after that, and the trial goes on until late 2015, he might not get any decent offers after that. Somebody needs to come up with a definite time detail- otherwise, couldn't we just refuse to pay him?

Can't the nfl let this suspension ride out for 4 more games and if Hardy us found guilty, fine him whatever amount he made in that amount of time?

This is the way I hope it goes exactly. Give it 4 more games, bring him back, and do it on the basis that if he is found guilty, be it this year or next, he will be fined $4.6MM which I think is roughly 6 game checks for him.

Then he can play, the public can feel like their outcry was heard and acted on, and the Panthers aren't completely fuged out of $13MM and one of their best players all year.

If he is found not guilty then oh well he lost six games but got paid at least.

Most logical way to do it IMO.

Not he's not cause he filed an appeal. He withdraw his appeal, he's guilty from the verdict of the judge

 

Im assuming thats what cpt was referencing 

 

He would actually have to say he is guilty again. He can't "withdraw" a de novo appeal, it wouldn't make sense since the verdict is already deleted. He can only plead guilty right now.

Permanently banned from the NFL over a freaking misdemeanor? You have been listening to to many media talking heads  like Bob Costas and the ESPN jokers who  are always trying to pull something out of their ass to make a story.

I don't want hardy to banned. I don't think he should have been put on the exempt list at all. He should be playing right now. I wouldn't ban him from the NFL if it were my decision. It's not the crime, but rather the public outrage, and response from beer and car corporations that put Hardy in danger of being banned imo. The games Hardy is missing don't count toward his punishment. That is yet to come. A player can only receive one punishment per violation.

This is the NFL. Logic be damned. 

 

Seriously though. He should be suspended 6 games for embarrassing the NFL. When/if he is found guilty, then he should receive his punishment for whatever he is convicted of.

The 49ers are smart in the way they handled McDonald because they realize how short of an attention span the American public has. The public will wave their flags after 9/11, call for gun reform after Sandy Hook, and they'll do their ice bucket challenges, but at the end of the day, nobody gives a poo.

This whole DV thing in the NFL will pass, and while teams like the Panthers caved and lost players like Hardy, the 49ers will keep rolling with Ray Mac and not miss a beat. If he is found guilty, sure hell get suspended for 6 games, maybe more, but if he isn't he won't lose a down worth of playing time.

I hate to give the 49ers any credit for anything, but they did it right, and JR caved to fuging ESPN and Bob Costas.

And this is the same reason he will never be a good owner. I have a strong feeling if it were up to Rivera or DG Hardy would be on the field.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
