Ron Rivera: "Greg will be here at the right moment/appropriate time"

[cbully]

yes ANOTHER Hardy thread, who cares...

 

anyway, apparently he is still on the agenda which makes me further think he has not taken his last snap as a panther. Frank Alexander, who knows... Just reading between the lines, it seems Greg will be back after Nov 17 regardless of the outcome. thus he will be back on our bye week. Looking ahead, I think we run the table for the remaining games after the bye so we must win at least 2 of the next 5 at minimum for that solid Playoff spot. I'm calling it 10-5-1 but I'm not sure if that will be a #2 or 3 seed. Hopefully my assumptions are correct

also I think the saints finish 8-8 and the falcons finish 5-11 giving one loss to tampa. tampa is laughable at this point but will beat the falcons.

10-5-1*

I thought this was about Greg Olsen so instantly wondered what had happened since yesterday. Apparently I've already forgotten about Hardy.

oh yea.... as you can I still don't know how to react yesterday like many.... lol

[Paa Langfart]

Havent had a chance to listen yet but I hope the op s musings are true.

[Eazy-E]

Just fuggin bring him back for Seattle.

[Mage]

People keep looking too much into Rivera's words.

 

Appropriate time = after his trial is over with and when he is permitted to return.

 

Nothing more, nothing less.  Hardy isn't coming back until his trial is finished.

Realistically, the way this team is playing....8 wins should be the goal.  Green Bay, Seattle, New Orleans (poo or not, still have Brees).

 

Hardy?  Not happening.  His case will get pushed back and he wont play for this team again.

Pretty sure it's up to Goodell when he comes back, right?  He chooses who goes on the list, and when they come back, if I'm not mistaken.  I don't think the Panthers' have any say in the whole deal.

Honestly I would love to have Greg back in November. He allegedly committed a misdemeanor and it got blown out of proportion. It feels like the punishment doesn't fit the alleged crime at this point. 

 

The problem is, if we bring him back and we are 1.5 games under .500, the media will accuse us of putting winning over women. So we have to win or the poo storm will double.

Greg is on the list "voluntarily". If he demands his job back and the league declines he can seek legal action. But that's not a good look for him with no long term contract.

Does anyone think that missing these games would serve as a proactive suspension in the wake of being found guilty? i realize that the trial will most likely take place after the season so it wont matter but im just trying to predict what would happen.

Blame the media, who was on a witchhunt after the Ray Rice video went public. Hardy would still be on the field any other year, and rightfully so. Maybe it helps us though. Maybe Kraken comes back in Dec, fresher, hungrier,and angrier than everybody else.

I'd love for Hardy to come back...but...

 

1. Imagine the media poo storm (right or not)

2. He's currently collecting checks for doing nothing. His value as a FA is already on the decline because of his legal case. So, why come back, maybe play at a sub-par level or get hurt, and risk it even further? 

 

 

The only way Hardy comes back (IMO) is if the Panthers are in serious playoff contention towards the end of the year, and JR makes the executive decision that bolstering up for a Super Bowl run is worth the media backlash.
