4 Things Greg Hardy Must Do to Remain a Panther

Because you don't make the team better when you're suspended.

If the team feels the risk of his being suspended again is too great (which, by all indications, they do) then they won't want him back.

Was he been suspended often before this?

Why would they feel that way? He played the first game so Panthers didn't even feel the need to suspend him this time

Posting here is irrelevant.

Verdict doesn't matter. Even if innocent he still shows poor judgement....the type that results in him screwing over his team. Which is what happened

and it isn't Hardy hate. It isn't being a Panther fan first. Not being a fan of individuals. Individuals come and go....this fanbase overall IMO gets too attached to players

 

This is an internet message board and, by definition, is rife with people judging others. It only gets even more ironic when those who do the judging and ranting page after page on this topic are also calling out people for becoming "too attached."

 

Best I can understand is a lot of people who claim to be done with Hardy and don't care about his future not with the Panthers are the same people who continue this topic page after page. So, who's "too attached?"

 

Personally, I hope Greg Hardy finds himself throughout this part of his life, if he hasn't already. I hope any future endeavor he pursues is successful, in pro football or wherever.

Mr. Scot...I've tried and I've tried and tried to explain it too him but he doesn't get it. He thinks I am passing judgement. Hell I've even implied to him I think Hardy is innocent and should sue the girl. Some people just don't get it.

Going off both Zod and Voth, that seems to be the feeling.

Why? I'd speculate that it's based on two things 1) history of poor judgment and 2) how he behaved after he was put on the exempt list.

I don't have inside info, so this is all speculation.

Well... if we only employ guys who date proper women and/or don't participate on social media we might have a hard time fielding a team

Let's keep it real, he's better than any defensive lineman on the team right now. His talent is undeniable and he performs good. Why do we not need him? I think we need anyone who'd make the team better

If you keep it real and go back to 2013....people moaned about Hardy going MIA like Peppers during that season. He had 10 of his 15 sacks 3 games.

Rather build a real secondary.

Chris Spielman said it best years ago.

All they're really asking of players is just don't get arrested.

Is that really such a difficult request?

Who is "they?"

 

According to the NFL Player Personnel Policy, no arrest is necessary for Goodell to act as judge and jury....

 

NFL Player Personnel Policy Manual:

 

EXEMPT LIST. The Exempt List is a special player status available to clubs only in unusual circumstances. The List includes those players who have been declared by the Commissioner to be temporarily exempt from counting within the Active List limit. Only the Commissioner has the authority to place a player on the Exempt List; clubs have no such authority, and no exemption, regardless of circumstances, is automatic. The Commissioner also has the authority to determine in advance whether a player's time on the Exempt List will be finite or will continue until the Commissioner deems the exemption should be lifted and the player returned to the Active List.

Big question would be for violent crime or non-violent.

(but given that this is a personal issue, I don't necessarily expect you to share that)

One of them was for punching a cop and was a similar level misdemeanor as Hardy.

Of course it was just a big misunderstanding ;)

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different.

      Last year Thielen had 615 yards in 10 games (had more ypg than his 1k season in 23).  XL had 497 in 16 games with tons of drops and Coker had 478 in 11. They also only had only 192 of our 518 targets to get those numbers. So if Thielen has 1,000 yards again, XL and Coker each improve to say 600 yards each, and T-Mac comes in at 800 yards, you're going to say that's not good enough?  Especially if he ends up with close to, if not getting to, double digit TD's like I think he will, as he's going to be a red zone monster for Bryce? Because if that's the breakdown of just the Top 4 and Bryce plays all 17 games, he's going to be pushing a 4,000 yard season as the TEs, RBs, and other WRs will probably add up to 750-1k yards as well, and I think that would be far more than anyone here could be expecting of him this season. Last year the Giants only had 2 players with more than 331 yards besides Nabers and they were 699 and 573 while Nabers "only" had 1,200 yards (granted in 15 games).  While the Jags second leading receiving was a TE with 411 yards and BTJ also "only" had 1,282 but in all 17 games. If everyone stays healthy and XL/Coker have improved, I think Bryce is going to spread the ball around rather than focus on T-Mac in a way that most of the 1k rookies have been able to get. Again I point to MHJ and the Cardinals last year. They had 3,859 yards receiving.   McBride had 1,146, MHJ had 885, then their 3rd and 4th in rec yards were 548 and 414. Take the 146 and 85 that McBride/MHJ had over my example for our guys and give them to the other two and they get to 7 yards shy of the 600 I'm using for XL/Coker, while the rest of the team added up to 866 yards. So, if you expect T-Mac to get to 1k, where are you taking those yards from? if anything, XL and Coker each getting 600 yards seems like a low projection, so they wouldn't come from there. Maybe they come from Thielen now that we have T-Mac as the true #1.  But I think if anything, having T-Mac draw attention will just make it easier for Thielen to get open and him and Bryce have great chemistry already, he's not going to stop throwing his way if he can pick up easy chunks of yards there. So maybe they come from the RBs, TEs, other WRs, but it's I think a very fair example to show why expecting 1,000 yards if everyone stays healthy isn't necessarily fair to him. It's also why I said I'd then expect at least 1,200 yards in 2026, as once Thielen leave and all 3 of T-Mac/XL/Coker get better, they absorb that 1,000 yards Thielen leaves behind with T-Mac probably taking close to half of it and the other two splitting up the other half.
