He hasn't been playing cause his "guilty" conviction, so with that he needs to follow that 6 game rule. Idc if he's on an exemption list, suspended or wateva, he's not playing. His jury trial shouldn't mean poo either cause he already served his games

No, he is NOT guilty NOR does he have a conviction on his record. Misinformed people are exactly why we are in this situation right now. Also the NFL can't suspend him for it now since they didn't suspend him then. AND even if they did suspend him you don't think he is going to pay a boat load for his lawyers to sue once he starts losing $700,000 game checks by the week fraudulently, and purely because of media pressure? No.

I know that, but that's the reason he isn't playing. Maybe the Panthers organization should have informed everybody the right information and we wouldn't be in the situation we're in

You are both correct and wrong at the same time.

 

Yes, the appeal of his bench trial conviction does eliminate the conviction and sets a jury trial.

 

However, he WAS found guilty by a judge.....that is just a fact.

Some owners aren't very happy about the way the 'exempt list' is being used.  They believe it's essentially giving teams like the Panthers and Vikings an extra roster spot,  Whereas the Ravens, for example, had to cut Ray Rice.

 

If the owners do indeed force the commissioner to drop the exemptions for Peterson and Hardy, then technically either the League would have to suspend them or it would be left up to the teams what to do.

 

If it's option two, then I think yes, the Panthers do indeed bring Greg Hardy back.

 

Well that would be a stupid argument, if it's the case.  The Ravens didn't have to cut Ray Rice.  They chose to.  There was also indisputable evidence of his guilt.  Hardy and Peterson are still innocent until proven guilty.  The situations aren't comparable.

......perhaps this means he's back after 6 games?  Would satisfy the NFL penalty, and would make sense since he's
not been convicted.

 

 

At this point, this is how it should be.  No matter what, even if convicted Hardy would get six games.  You can't bring him back now or sooner  because then the story is "its because the Panthers need someone and don't care about......" ; whereas after six games Panthers can bring him back and leave it as "that is what he would be getting anyway.."

I agree, but never put anything past NFL owners when it comes to competitive advantage.

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By TD alt · Posted

      The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve.

      It is worth noting the fanbase has long held a love hate relationship with PFF over the years. Now that we are employing some of their people and actively using their data in our roster building approach going forward this should serve as the end all be all to any debate. This is either going to end really well or really bad. It's the Panthers. So save your energy and give it some time.

      And to be honest, we weren't really talking about PFF grades either. I brought it into the conversation via a pic that's LLM-related (which apparently some Huddlers took issue with) as an aside for providing more specificity than just sheer numbers
