actually from what I heard out of the Rivera and DG next week it was the NFL that said to bench Hardy

 

Yep.  Gettleman made clear they had no intention of suspending him and Rivera abruptly left the presser, quite obviously pissed off.

 

The NFL needed him out of the spotlight to stop the flow of bad press they were getting.

So all the talking heads were saying our team was the worst in the league and would finish 4th in the division.  we were so cap strapped we couldn't resign anyone and were going to suck.  Now that it is happening suddenly the FO is selling out Cam.  What exactly is surprising about where we are and who didn't predict this for months???

 

The truth coming out was common knowledge since the spring.

This.

 

The NFL told Hardy to either take his money and disappear or he could just disappear.

 

Which would you take?

 

edit: BTW fug Skip and Steve.  They are right this time though. shudders at the thought*

I think the money was always the most important thing to Hardy.

 

And yeah, it's his right to be that way.  Still...

I said last year that we should make Rivera earn his extension in 2014, but there were a lot if voices saying "you don't make the coach of the year a lame duck!!!" (Despite the fact that few know what that term really means and performing to earn an extension is in no way a lame duck situation, but I digress.) I hope the Ron supporters are happy.

I am not happy with the direction of the team but I am smart enough to know that you have to look at all the elements before deciding who is at fault.  If we had the same team as last year and were doing this bad you could blame Ron, but when you look at how different and how deficit this team is right now I don't see how Ron is even in the top 5 when assessing problems.  The only thing I can see if because he is not screaming and yelling and taking shots at players in the media, suddenly he isnt a good coach.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
