What's fuged up is that we could've had Hardy playing all this time same as McDonald if we (including Hardy) weren't such pansies about it.

Wrong.

Hardy was arrested, charged & convicted. McDonald was never even charged.

The Panthers didn't put Hardy on the exempt list, the NFL did. If the Panthers and Hardy didn't go along with the NFL's plan, Goodell would've just suspended him indefinitely without pay.

The "arrested, charged and convicted" statement you made is completely irrelevant. He played week 1 with all that information exactly the same. The NFL COULDN'T just put him on the exempt list. Hardy had to agree to it, and I am 100% sure JR did too. Goodell may have done that but Hardy would appeal it claiming he's still going through the process and he would've been playing until his court case. And that would be insanely risky for Goodell because if Hardy was then found innocent he would sue the sh*t out of the league and create more media shitstorm. Remember, Hardy would've played week 2 as well if WE didn't deactivate him. We've heard Ron say over and over that it was solely his decision but that is complete bullshit. It was JR's decision and his only. Gettleman and Rivera are football guys who were letting it play out in the courts and wanted him on the field. JR stepped in like a pussy and got him on this list to temporarily avoid the bad PR. If he never went on the exempt list the most likely thing that would've happened is JR would've made Rivera have Hardy inactive every week. The 49ers had balls and said that McDonald was playing until the court system played out. We could've easily done that too and had Hardy playing.

the argument is Hardy was "convicted" and McDonald was not

 

 

I think it's BS, but it's the reason for the Hardy uproar.

 

All that's completely irrelevant. I'm not comparing Hardy to McDonald. I'm comparing the way our FO handled it to the way the 49ers' handled it. Hardy played week 1 after having been "convicted." He would've kept playing as well if we didn't deactivate him week 2 and give in to the media's bullshit.

You're right, the team & Hardy had to agree to put him on the exempt list.

The NFL COULD HAVE just suspended him without pay.

This is only going to make the NFL's new personal conduct rules they are trying to implement more difficult for the NFLPA to fight.

 

By that I mean in regards to the 49ers allowing him to keep playing after his previous arrest this season.

 

I don't see anyone throwing a big contract at Hardy next year, no matter how his trial plays out. Fair or not.

The 49ers are a disaster this year, and it may take a while to recover from all this poo. And, on top of that, they're stuck with Kaep. Lolololol

 

Due to the structure of that contract, they can actually cut him pretty much anytime without much consequence.  It 'looks' like a big contract, but he really wasn't guaranteed poo unless he and the 49ers meet certain criteria such as playoff wins, Kap having a good season, etc.
