Yep... an NFL franchise with an ownership group consisting of several successful billionaire business people and filled to the ceiling with lawyers, consultants and other business people got played by a 26-year old NFL football player.

Right.

Doesn't take a genius to handcuff an organization by its own rules. It wasn't a complicated plan a great proportion! Fairly simple

this is basically an admission of guilt on hardy's part btw

 

 

Not at all, or at least how I see it.  Then why not just settle, and or plead guilty at the first stage when he went in front of the judge.  It was a misdemeanor, he would have gotten his two game (which then the NFL changed to 6) suspension and moved on.  I guess maybe after all this time he realized he would lose?? but I don't see it.  You don't go this far into the process and start jury selection if you do not feel like you are innocent.

Because we wasted 13 million dollars in cap space last season on a guy who shouldn't have been suspended.  That money could have been used on players that could have helped us go further in the playoffs than we did.  Fans have the right to be pissed the fug off, but ultimately it will not affect us going forward because he will not be a panther next season.

 

So you're saying that Gettleman exercised the franchise option on Hardy knowing he was going to be accused of domestic abuse?

 

Could you explain in detail how Gettleman knew such a thing?  Crystal ball?  Tarot cards?

The organization was actually smart in how they handled it IMO.  Didn't outright ignore it but were patient about making a desicion until the NFL and Media forced it enough down their throats to inactivate him.  Then the NFL stepped in and it was out of our hands.  

 

 

This will be an interesting start of the week but it's funny, NFL.com has nothing about this while the other sites all do.

      I hope he finds his lane in year 2.  Now that we signed Walker, I'm really intrigued how Dan feels about the DL. Is there a piece there in R1 that presents value/BPA and fills a void for one of the spots w/ DB and Wharton.  I'll give Wharton another year to show us why he was signed here. With A'Shawn gone, I don't think BBIII is it.  Our edges are set and our LBs are balanced. Horn/Mike Jack and Moehrig will hold the secondary together. DB is, well...DB.  However, I think this is an area that is the biggest question mark right now. I see 1 of 3 spots that are locked and loaded for us. If we move to a 4 down front, I assume Phillips would slide down to be the additional linemen, but we still have questions about the other two spots in either scheme.  I'd feel better with a tradeback, but I do wonder how McDonald would do here. Maybe Woods....but McDonald really does peek my interest.  Or, can Jackson take that next step. The coaching staff speaks highly of him for what little he played. Here's hoping he stays healthy and comes into TC with something to prove. There's a spot to be taken, here's hoping he takes it.

      Not many people talking about DT, but we have a need.  (DE)  Now this guy is a NT like Brown III

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      But is it about letting Bryce develop or about winning games? Bryce has not been good enough to be an uncontested starter. He just hasn't. How many times has last drive Bryce shown up for 4 entire quarters? Once in 3 seasons? You aren't going to win 9 or 10 one score games every season year in and year out. You may want Bryce in the last 2 minutes. I want that Bryce the full 60.  No one is saying you have to give up on him, but bringing in another QB that can do anything is not hindering Bryce. It helps the team and that's where the focus needs to be. If drafting Sadiq to plague the middle of the field would help out offense, but Bryce struggles to get pass into the middle of the field, is Sadiq a bad pick? Or could he be a good pick with a better option at QB? We can't be afraid to improve. QB, TE, OL, LB, DL, CB, S. It doesn't matter. The goal is SBs, not 5 to 8 years seeing waiting to see if Bryce can develop while the rest of the league keeps passing us by.  Sadiq is a nice option, but I think we have to address tackle if one we like is there because we are painfully thin after this year, a LB to general the field, and a true ball hawking safety that can set the tone in the secondary. Those 3 positions are bigger game changers than a TE that will likely struggle to make a round 1 impact in this offense.
