Hardy's Heart is in Carolina

A recent ESPN article (link at the bottom) included some interesting comments from Josh Norman, who says he's spoken with Greg Hardy.

"His heart is in Carolina," Norman said. "I had a talk with him. He wants to be here. He don't want to go nowhere else. He wants to be in Carolina. He even told me he would play for free. That's what he told me verbatim out of his mouth."

 

We'll see how true that holds. But the prospect of getting one of the leagues top pass rushers on the cheap is very intriguing, whether he's found guilty or not.

watching JR cry, I assure you, Hardy will never play for carolina again

 

JR was crying because the NFL shield is in the middle of the BOA field and JR believes the league is much bigger and more important than anything....oops.... until he had to "punish" one of his players by paying him $13M to stay home.

 

Please... signing Greg Hardy to play in Charlotte next year would be:

1. a great football move for the defense

2. a tremendous act of redemption and good faith on both sides proving that second chances can be a good thing

3. necessary if they're seriously considering letting CJ go

I hear Zod and Voth both say there's no shot he's back and while I agree, it's hard to say without a doubt he's not back. Our staff, GM and owner are usually in lock-step in what they say publicly.  RR made a comment about Greg today that made me think.  He didn't dismiss a question about Greg like someone would if they were "over it".  He said something to the extent of: Obviously we'll let it play out in the courts.  You all know how I feel about him as a player.  If the directive has come from Jerry that Greg Hardy will never be a Panther again, why would Ron play that in such a coy manner? Or dismiss the question altogether?

 

Just my 2 cents. I don't believe he's back (or that we necessarily need him - with the trouble), but just something that caught me by surprise.

The decision about Greg Hardy is really about money. 

 

The morality of the decision is a secondary issue.

 

If it saves dollars, it will make sense.

 

If he wants a lot of money, then they will make it about "moral distractions."

 

DG likes a good steal... and if this proves to be a situation where he can leverage on talent and save money... he'll be a Panther.

 

Hardy talked about a "hometown discount" way before any of this happened. I think it would be a mistake to ditch him just because of the pressures.

Greg Hardy coming back means we could focus draft picks and FA on other positions.

 

We are a better football team with him.

I was there at the Hive the night Jeff Taylor came back from suspension. The crowd actually welcomed him back. They just paid him 13million!!!!! He owes the team, his teammates and the city and he knows it! He's got enough money now it's about redemption

If he was sooooooooo gone he wouldn't have been back in the building. Here's to a nasty Dline next year! Cheers haters

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
