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.

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.

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.

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.

 

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.

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.

      Isaiah Simmons: "A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma"

      By Basbear · Posted

      Reveal- Until three weeks before his draft, I wanted Simmons >> Brown. I hate to say I didn't see his greatest flaw the first time, upon reviewing more clips and lucky listening to better scout. Simmons was shown not to enjoy contact/hitting. WHich is crazy given he played a joker type of LB and had tons of tacks and big plays. But it was there hidden in the slow mo and people that played the game, he didn't enjoy hitting. Given that's a huge part of defenders job, I dropped him from want/need list and lucky for everyone dbrown was there to be picked.  Seems he's found a role or lane he's comfy in and willing to do and it does fit him once you disregard his draft status. Who knows, he maybe the NB for evero this year. He can still become a legit starter.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Joly has the one thing our current TE groups does not, really, really good hands.  Tremble has gotten better at catching, but will never have 'natural' hands.  Evans is a blocking TE that has okay hands. A passing game threat is what we thought we were getting when drafting Sanders, but have found out otherwise.  With all the TEs we have drafted over the recent years, none of them have been considered a true weapon.  That needs to change. Blocking TEs are a dime a dozen and can be had on the cheap.  The miscalculation of the front office, folly if you will, is the idea of the Swiss Army knife TE, the guy that can do everything.  It takes a real gem to find a TE that does everything and do it well, so our jack of all trades ends up elite at nothing especially the one area where we (the fans) think the weak link is--a receiving threat.
